WPForms Slack GPL v1.0.0.1

WPForms Slack GPL

Would you like to send notifications to your Slack workspace when forms are submitted? With the WPForms Slack addon, you can easily send messages to channels, direct messages to users, and set reminders in Slack when users complete your forms.

This tutorial will show you how to install and use the Slack addon with WPForms.

Before getting started, you’ll first need to make sure WPForms is installed and activated on your WordPress site and that you’ve verified your license. You will also need to have a Slack workspace and the necessary permissions to add integrations.

Installing and Configuring the Slack Addon

Once the core WPForms plugin is in place and your license is verified, go ahead and install and activate the Slack addon.

After installing the Slack addon, you’ll need to connect WPForms to your Slack account. To do this from the WordPress dashboard, you’ll need to go to WPForms » Settings and click on the Integrations tab.
Then, click on the Slack integration to expand its settings. From here, click the Add New Account button.
This will open the Slack sign in page where you’ll need to sign in to your Slack workspace.
After signing in, you’ll see a screen asking for permission for WPForms to access your Slack workspace and send messages. These permissions are necessary for WPForms to send notifications and updates to your Slack channels.

On this screen, you’ll need to select a channel from the dropdown where WPForms can post messages. Choose a channel from the dropdown and click Allow to complete the integration.

Once you’ve granted permission, you’ll be redirected back to your WPForms Integrations page. You should now see that Slack is connected with a green Connected status.

Adding a Slack Integration to Your Forms

Once you’ve successfully connected your Slack account, you’re ready to link it to a form. To do this, you’ll first need to create a new form or edit an existing one to open the form builder.

In the form builder, go to Marketing » Slack. Then, click on the Add New Connection button.

Clicking this button will open an overlay where you can provide a nickname for this connection. You can enter any nickname you’d like, as this is for internal reference only.

Go ahead and click OK once you’ve added a connection nickname.
After naming the connection, you’ll need to select an account and choose an action to perform when someone submits your form.

Setting Up Conditional Logic (Optional)

Conditional logic allows you to choose whether or not an action is performed based on a user’s choices in your form.

As an example, we’ll show you how you can use conditional logic to send a message to Slack if a user submits an entry to our contact form with a message that contains the word “Help.”

To set this up, you’ll need to make sure your form has either a Single Line Text or Paragraph Text field. For our example, we’ll add a Paragraph Text field.

Then you’ll need to adjust the label for the message input field. For our example, we’ll add the label Comment or Message.

Next, you’ll need to set up your conditional logic. At the bottom of your Slack settings, toggle on the option labeled Enable Conditional Logic to reveal the dropdowns to create your rule.

Then add the rule for your conditional logic. For our example, we’ll set the dropdowns to read, Process this connection if Comment or Message contains help.

Finally, be sure to save your form to apply the conditional logic.
