We have multiple forms collecting and processing data throughout the whole site doing the following:
| Form | Actions |

| `/contact` | send to CC emails, Slack message |
| `/services` | send to CC emails, Slack message, add new row to Google Sheets |
| `/cla` | 2 different forms, send to CC emails |
Form | Actions
------------ |-------------
`/newsletter` | send data to MailChimp and subscribe to newsletter list (double opt-in)
`/contact` | send data to CC emails, Slack message
`/services` | send data to CC emails, Slack message, add new row to Google Sheets
`/cla` | 2 different forms, send data to CC emails
Initial form sending is handled via formspree.io with a Gold account. As form submissions arrive there, Formspree sends out the received submissions to the email addresses setup as CC in [our site config](../_config.yml).
Initial form sending, except for newsletter, is handled via formspree.io with a Gold account. As form submissions arrive there, Formspree sends out the received data to the email addresses setup as CC in [our site config](../_config.yml).
Submissions are processed further like so:
_Formspree -> Zapier Email Parser -> Zapier -> Slack & Google Sheets_
The Zapier email parser is a special mailbox provided by Zapier which receives form submissions from Formspree, parses the content of those emails and extracts data fields out of it.

The Slack message never contains personally identifiable information. Name and email are not transmitted.
## Newsletter
Newsletter submissions are sent directly to MailChimp via their undocumented `jsonp` functionality, NOT the MailChimp API. We use a local copy of [ajaxChimp](https://github.com/scdoshi/jquery-ajaxchimp) to send the data. Library is old and jQuery but it just works across a wide range of browsers, even older ones.
