Forms

We have multiple forms in use 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

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.

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 parser as a source then provides the structured data to our Zapier tasks.
