Send Form Submissions to WhatsApp — splitforms
Send new form leads to WhatsApp.
Connect a CallMeBot WhatsApp API key and SplitForms can push each new lead to your WhatsApp number automatically. It is the simplest path for personal lead alerts without a WhatsApp Business setup.
Delivery mode: Native (auto-detected webhook)
Free for 1,000 submissions/month. No credit card required.
How to set up WhatsApp with splitforms
5 steps. The whole flow typically takes a couple of minutes.
In WhatsApp, add the CallMeBot contact and send the activation phrase from CallMeBot's setup guide to receive your API key.
In SplitForms, open Dashboard -> Integrations -> WhatsApp.
Choose All forms to send every lead, or choose one form if only that form should notify WhatsApp.
Enter your WhatsApp phone number with country code and the CallMeBot API key.
Send a test message, then submit your live form. SplitForms will send a compact lead summary to WhatsApp.
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="whatsapp" /> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="you@example.com" required /> <textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" required></textarea> <button type="submit">Send to WhatsApp</button> </form>
The form posts to https://splitforms.com/api/submit. The WhatsApprouting is configured in the splitforms dashboard against the form's access key — there's no client-side WhatsApp-specific code in your HTML.

Why splitforms for WhatsApp?
Most form tools need Zapier or an official WhatsApp provider; SplitForms can use a simple CallMeBot URL for lightweight alerts. splitforms is free for 1,000 submissions per month, $5/mo on Pro, or $59 for a 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/month, 36 months of access). No per-integration add-on fees.
Frequently asked questions
Does this require WhatsApp Business?
No. This simple integration uses CallMeBot, so it can send alerts to your own WhatsApp number after you activate the bot. For official business messaging from your own business number, use the WhatsApp Cloud API or a provider such as Twilio.
Can it send every lead from every form?
Yes. Choose All forms in the WhatsApp setup page and SplitForms will send a WhatsApp alert for every new submission across the account.
Can I send leads to a WhatsApp group?
Not with the simple CallMeBot personal API path. It is designed for personal-use messages to one WhatsApp number. Group or multi-recipient messaging needs a paid/official provider.
What does the message include?
SplitForms sends a compact summary with the form name, the first submitted fields, and the source URL when available. Long field values are trimmed so the message stays readable on a phone.
Is the API key stored safely?
The key is stored inside the webhook URL already protected by the dashboard. It is masked in the UI and only used server-side when sending the WhatsApp notification.
