WordPress Form to Slack
Get instant Slack notifications for every WordPress form submission - with full data in Google Sheets for follow-up. No Zapier fees.
Why send form submissions to Slack?
Email notifications are easy to miss. They blend into an inbox of hundreds of messages. Slack notifications are immediate - they pop up on desktop and mobile, they're visible to your whole team, and they create a natural space for discussing the lead.
The best setup is dual-destination: Slack for instant awareness, Google Sheets for the permanent record. Your sales team sees the lead in Slack within seconds, discusses it right there, and follows up - while the data is simultaneously logged in a spreadsheet for tracking and analysis.
How SheetLinkWP handles Slack notifications
SheetLinkWP's CRM Fan-Out addon supports Slack as a destination. When a form is submitted:
- The submission goes to Google Sheets (permanent record)
- A formatted Slack message is sent to your chosen channel (instant notification)
The Slack message includes the form data - name, email, message, and any custom fields you map. You can customize which fields appear in the Slack notification and which channel receives it.
For teams that want Slack notifications without the CRM Fan-Out addon, SheetLinkWP can also trigger Slack via Google Sheets - set up a Google Apps Script trigger that sends a Slack webhook when a new row is added.
Setting up Slack notifications
**With CRM Fan-Out (recommended):** 1. Install SheetLink Forms and connect to Google Sheets 2. Add the CRM Fan-Out addon 3. In SheetLink > CRM Fan-Out, add Slack as a destination 4. Create a Slack webhook URL (Slack > Settings > Incoming Webhooks) and paste it 5. Choose which form fields to include in the Slack message 6. Select the destination channel 7. Test - submit a form and check your Slack channel
**Without CRM Fan-Out (Google Sheets trigger):** 1. Set up SheetLink Forms with Google Sheets 2. In your Google Sheet, go to Extensions > Apps Script 3. Add a trigger that fires on new rows and sends a Slack webhook 4. This approach is free but requires a small script
