Real-time browser notifications
FormsToDB polls for new leads every 15 seconds. When a new lead arrives, you'll see a toast notification in the bottom-right corner of your screen and the bell icon badge updates.
Email notifications per form
To get email alerts for a specific form:
- Go to Dashboard → Forms
- Find your form and toggle Email notify on
- You'll receive an email to your account address for every new submission
Email notifications require the admin to configure SMTP in Admin → Email Settings.
Zapier notifications
For instant notifications in Slack, Teams, or any other channel:
- Go to Dashboard → Integrations
- Click Connect Zapier
- Create a Zap with Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook as trigger
- Add your notification action (Slack message, Teams alert, SMS, etc.)
Zapier Call button
The Call button on leads triggers a different webhook — configured separately in Settings → Zapier. This is specifically for call integrations (Twilio, JustCall, Aircall) and sends your phone number + the lead's phone number so your call service can connect both.
Two different Zapier integrations: Settings → Zapier = Call button only. Integrations → Zapier = Lead notifications. They are independent.
Notification bell
The bell icon in the top-right of your dashboard shows unread lead count. Click to see recent leads. Click Mark all read to clear the count. Individual notifications can be dismissed.
