Send Form Submissions to Discord — splitforms
Drop submissions straight into a Discord channel.
Paste a Discord webhook URL and splitforms POSTs every form submission to that channel as a formatted embed. Auto-detected — no Zapier or bot account needed.
Delivery mode: Native (auto-detected webhook)
Free for 1,000 submissions/month. No credit card required.
How to set up Discord with splitforms
5 steps. The whole flow typically takes a couple of minutes.
In Discord, open the target channel's settings, go to Integrations → Webhooks, and create a new webhook. Copy the webhook URL.
In splitforms, open your form's Webhooks tab and paste the Discord URL. splitforms auto-detects discord.com hosts and switches to the Discord embed payload format.
Submit a test entry. The message should appear in your Discord channel as a rich embed with field labels and values laid out as embed fields.
Optional: rename the webhook in Discord and set an avatar — splitforms uses Discord's 'webhook owner' settings for the displayed name.
Ship the form. All future submissions will be sent to Discord; transient delivery failures are retried automatically.
example: form markup
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_SPLITFORMS_KEY" /> <input type="hidden" name="_route" value="discord" /> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="you@example.com" required /> <textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" required></textarea> <button type="submit">Send to Discord</button> </form>
The form posts to https://splitforms.com/api/submit. The Discordrouting is configured in the splitforms dashboard against the form's access key — there's no client-side Discord-specific code in your HTML.

Who uses splitforms + Discord
A handful of patterns we've seen in the wild.
- USE CASE 01Indie game studios capturing bug reports straight into a #qa channel where the dev team already lives.
- USE CASE 02Open-source projects piping 'request an invite' or 'feedback' forms into community Discord servers.
- USE CASE 03Creator/streaming communities collecting submissions for fan content drops without leaving Discord.
- USE CASE 04Internal team alerts — Discord-first teams treating Discord as their inbox for inbound site events.
- USE CASE 05Beta-waitlist signups for a product launch where the early-access community already exists in Discord.
Why splitforms for Discord?
Most form backends require a Zapier hop ($20/mo) for Discord; splitforms posts directly. splitforms is free for 1,000 submissions per month, $5/mo on Pro, or $59 for a 4-year plan (15,000 submissions/month, 48 months of access). No per-integration add-on fees.
Frequently asked questions
Does this require a Discord bot?
No. splitforms uses Discord's incoming-webhook URLs, which are channel-scoped HTTPS endpoints created from Discord's channel settings. There is no bot, no OAuth flow, and no bot token to manage. The webhook URL itself is the only credential.
What does the Discord message look like?
splitforms formats each submission as a Discord rich embed with the form name as the title and each captured field as an embed field. Long text values are truncated with a 'show more' indicator linking back to the splitforms dashboard for the full submission.
Can I post the same submission to several Discord channels?
Yes — register multiple Discord webhook URLs against the form. splitforms POSTs to each independently. This is common for routing one form into both a public community channel and a private mods channel.
Will Discord rate-limit my webhook on a busy day?
Discord rate-limits webhooks at roughly 30 messages per minute per webhook. splitforms respects 429 responses and retries with backoff. If you expect more than that volume, register multiple Discord webhooks against the form to spread the load.
Are webhook URLs treated as secrets?
Yes. They're encrypted at rest in the splitforms database and never re-displayed in full in the dashboard. If a URL leaks, you can rotate it in Discord (it invalidates the old URL) and paste the new one.
Does this need a paid splitforms plan?
No. Discord webhook delivery is included on the splitforms free plan along with email and the other native messaging integrations. You only need to upgrade if you exceed 1,000 submissions per month.
