How it works

This workflow is triggered when the contact form is submitted.

It automatically saves the inquiry details to Google Sheets and sends a notification to Slack. You can then review the inquiry and reply directly from Slack using the Contact button.

How to use

  • Open the Gmail node and set up the Credential.
  • Open the Google Sheets node and set up the Credential.
  • Open the Slack node and set up the Credential to allow sending messages.
    • You can create a new Slack App here.
  • Open the ContactWebhook node and configure Basic Auth.
  • Open the Config node and update the contactWebhookUrl parameter to match the Production URL from the ContactWebhook node.

Customizing this workflow

  • You can customize the Slack notification message in the Config node.
  • You can modify the reply email body in the Gmail node.
    • We recommend including a scheduling link (e.g., to book a meeting).
