Your team doesn't live in email. With Forms & Frontdoor, every form submission can land directly in the Slack or Teams channel where work actually happens — no middleware, no third-party connectors, just a webhook URL.
Slack setup (two minutes)
- In Slack: channel → Integrations → Incoming Webhooks → copy the
hooks.slack.comURL. - In your form: Action → Automation → Add step → Send Slack message, paste the URL, write the message.
Teams setup
- In Teams: channel → Workflows → use the "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received" template → copy the generated URL.
- Add a Send Teams message step and paste it in.
Make the message useful with smart values
Message bodies support smart values, so a notification can carry the actual answers:
New response to {{form.title}} from {{submitter.name}}: {{response.table}}
Tables and rich content are converted to clean plain text for chat automatically.
Batch it for busy forms
High-volume form? Switch the automation to In batches — submissions queue up (you pick the size) and post as one summary message instead of flooding the channel, with {{batch.count}} and an aggregated response table. Leftover batches flush automatically every hour, and If / Else conditions split each batch so, say, high-priority responses ping #urgent while the rest roll into a digest.
