Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • Create a dedicated channel: Set up a channel like #form-submissions or #leads to keep notifications organized and reduce noise in general channels
  • Set permissions: Restrict the notification channel so only relevant team members can view submissions
  • Custom webhook name: Name your webhook after the form (e.g., “Contact Form”) to easily identify the source
  • Multiple forms: Each form can send to a different Discord channel using unique webhook URLs
  • Role mentions: Configure your Discord server to ping specific roles when messages arrive in the channel
