Feature · Slack
Paste an Incoming Webhook URL once. Every form submission shows up in Slack within a second, formatted as a clean message your team can react to.
Your form posts to one splitforms endpoint — no server, API route, or SDK. splitforms is the backend.
Every submission is saved to a searchable dashboard and emailed to you — spam filtered before it lands.
No glue code, no third-party middleman — it ships as part of splitforms and works from your first submission.
Copy-paste ready
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your splitforms dashboard. No SDK to install, no build step — the same html you already write.
// Setup (under one minute):
// 1. In Slack → Apps → Incoming Webhooks → Add to channel (#leads, #hiring, etc.).
// 2. Copy the webhook URL — looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0/B0/xxx.
// 3. In splitforms → Form → Integrations → Slack → paste the URL → Save.
// That's it. Every submission below pings the chosen channel within ~1 second.
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" required />
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required />
<input type="text" name="company" placeholder="Company" />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
<input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

The Slack message (auto-formatted by splitforms):
*New submission · Contact form*
• Name: Ada Lovelace
• Email: ada@example.com
• Company: Analytical Engines Ltd
• Message: Loved the demo, want a call.
_From: https://yoursite.com/contact_
The format is fixed today (form name header, up to 12 fields as a
bulleted list, referer footer); user input is Slack-escaped so a
submission can never inject @channel pings or disguised links.
-->How to set it up
How slack flows through splitforms — what you do, what we do, and what lands in your inbox.
In Slack, click the workspace name → Settings & administration → Manage apps → search 'Incoming Webhooks' → Add to Slack. Pick the channel that should receive form notifications (you can DM yourself for testing) and copy the generated webhook URL — it looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0/B0/xxx.
Open Form → Integrations → Slack → New Slack integration. Paste the Incoming Webhook URL and save — splitforms recognises the hooks.slack.com host and formats every submission as a Slack-native message automatically. There's nothing else to configure.
Hit Submit on your form. Within ~1 second a formatted message appears in your chosen Slack channel with the submitted fields, ready for your team to react with emoji, thread a reply, assign an owner with @mention, or trigger any downstream Slack workflow.
How slack works
splitforms posts every form submission to Slack within a second of someone hitting Submit, formatted as a clean, scannable message your team can react to or thread on. Setup takes under a minute: in Slack, create an Incoming Webhook for the channel that should receive notifications (#leads, #hiring, #help, whatever); in the splitforms dashboard, paste the webhook URL — splitforms auto-detects the hooks.slack.com host and switches to Slack-native formatting; done. Route the same submission to an email inbox or a webhook at the same time — nothing here is one-or-the-other.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Common questions
Just an Incoming Webhook — no custom app to build, no OAuth review, no Slack admin approval beyond installing the standard Incoming Webhooks integration. In Slack: workspace name → Settings & administration → Manage apps → install Incoming Webhooks → Add to channel → copy URL. In splitforms: Form → Integrations → Slack → paste the URL → save. Done in 60 seconds. The integration uses Slack's official Incoming Webhooks API, so messages count toward Slack's normal rate limits (1 message per second per webhook, plenty for any form).
Slack unlocks on Pro ($5/month) and above with no per-message fee. You do NOT need a paid Slack workspace — Incoming Webhooks are available on Slack's free tier as long as you can install apps in your workspace. Pro splitforms ($5/month) raises submissions to 5,000/month, and the $59 3-year plan raises it further.
Two steps. (1) In Slack: install Incoming Webhooks → pick the channel → copy the URL. (2) In splitforms: open the form → Integrations → Slack → paste the URL → save. The message format is fixed today: a bold 'New submission · your form name' header, each submitted field (up to 12) as a labelled bullet, long values truncated at 500 characters, and the source page URL as the footer. Custom message templates and Block Kit layouts aren't available yet — if you need a fully custom Slack message, point a signed splitforms webhook at your own small relay and post whatever Block Kit JSON you like from there.
Yes. Each form has its own Slack integration with its own webhook URL, so you point each one at whatever channel makes sense — sales submissions to #leads, applications to #hiring, support requests to #help, partnership requests to a private DM with the BD lead. You can also add multiple Slack webhooks to a single form and every submission posts to all of them in parallel. Conditional posting (e.g. 'only post to #vip if amount > 1000') isn't supported today — every submission on the form goes to every connected channel.
Open Dashboard → Form → Integrations → Slack — each webhook shows its last-triggered time, last HTTP status, and last error message. Common causes: (1) webhook URL revoked — Slack admins can revoke webhooks; check Slack → Apps → Incoming Webhooks → confirm the URL is still active, otherwise create a new one and update splitforms. (2) Channel deleted or archived — Slack returns channel_not_found; pick a different channel. (3) Rate-limited — Slack throttles roughly 1 msg/sec per webhook; a failed delivery is recorded but not auto-retried today, so extreme-burst forms may want to split traffic across webhooks. Whatever happens on the Slack side, the submission is always saved in your dashboard and delivered by email.
