    Connect Your Contact Form to Slack, Discord, Telegram, and More

    Once submissions arrive in Formboost, you can forward them to any tool automatically — Slack, Discord, Telegram, Zapier, HubSpot, and more. No code required.

    Connect Your Contact Form to Slack, Discord, Telegram, and More

    Receiving form submissions via email is fine. But email is passive — you check it when you check it. Connecting your form to your team's communication tools means submissions get noticed immediately, and automated integrations mean you never have to manually copy data from your inbox to a CRM again.

    Here's a tour of what's available and how each integration works.

    Available Integrations

    IntegrationWhat it does
    SlackPosts to a Slack channel on every submission
    DiscordPosts an embed to a Discord channel
    TelegramSends a message to a user, group, or channel
    HTTP WebhookForwards data to any URL — Zapier, your backend, CRMs

    All integrations are configured in Formboost's Integrations tab for each form — no code required.

    Slack

    Get notified in any Slack channel, instantly.

    Setup:

    1. Create a Slack Incoming Webhook at slack.com/apps → Incoming WebHooks
    2. Choose the target channel and copy the webhook URL
    3. Paste it into Formboost → your form → Integrations → Slack

    What a Slack notification looks like:

    📋 New submission on Contact Form name Jane Smith email [email protected] message I'd like to schedule a demo. View in dashboard →

    Best for: teams using Slack for internal communication who want immediate visibility on new leads.

    Discord

    Post a message to any Discord channel when a submission arrives.

    Setup:

    1. In your Discord server, go to Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook
    2. Choose a channel and copy the webhook URL
    3. Paste it into Formboost → your form → Integrations → Discord

    Best for: developer communities, open-source projects, or teams that use Discord as their primary communication tool.

    Telegram

    Receive a Telegram message to yourself, a group, or a channel.

    Setup:

    1. Create a bot via @BotFather — send /newbot and follow the prompts
    2. Copy the bot token and get your Chat ID (via @userinfobot for personal chats)
    3. Enter both in Formboost → your form → Integrations → Telegram

    Best for: solo developers or small teams who want mobile-first real-time alerts without a full Slack setup.

    HTTP Webhook

    Forward submission data to any URL. This is the most flexible integration — it unlocks:

    • Zapier / Make — trigger 5,000+ app automations
    • CRM sync — create contacts in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Klaviyo automatically
    • Custom backend — run your own logic on every submission
    • Database writes — insert rows directly via an API

    The webhook sends a JSON payload with all field values:

    1{
2  "name": "Jane Smith",
3  "email": "[email protected]",
4  "message": "I'd like to schedule a demo.",
5  "fb_formId": "ep_abc123",
6  "fb_formName": "Contact Form",
7  "fb_dashboardUrl": "https://dashboard.formboost.app/..."
8}

    You can add custom headers (e.g., Authorization: Bearer TOKEN) for authenticated APIs. Full details in the webhook guide.

    Testing Integrations

    Every integration has a Send Test button in the Integrations tab. Click it after saving to confirm the integration is working before you rely on it for real submissions.

    For webhooks, use webhook.site to inspect the exact payload before wiring it to production.

    Combining Multiple Integrations

    Integrations are additive — enable as many as you want on the same form:

    • Slack for the team channel
    • Email notification to the account owner
    • HTTP webhook to add contacts to your CRM
    • Telegram to your personal phone for mobile alerts

    All fire on every submission.
