Basin collects submissions from the HTML forms on static sites and landing pages. FlowMattic sends each one to Slack: contact requests to sales, applications to hiring, long messages summarised first. Developers and small teams who chose Basin to avoid a backend get form alerts in team chat, from a workflow on their own WordPress site.

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateEvery form entry appears in the channel with the fields you choose, so whoever is free can answer instead of waiting for the notification email to be forwarded.

View the template One site often has several Basin forms. A Router reads the form name and posts quote requests to sales, applications to hiring and general questions to support.

Some people write essays into a contact form. An AI Agent turns the message into two lines and a suggested next step, and the full text stays in Basin.

A Filter checks the budget field of a quote form. Enquiries above your threshold go to the founder as a direct message, smaller ones go to the normal channel.

When a form has a file field, such as a CV or a brief, Upload File puts the attachment in the channel so reviewers open it next to the submission details.

Slack adds a reminder for the sales owner with the sender's name and email. The request stays on someone's list until a quote has gone out.

At the end, each submission to your Basin form is posted to Slack with the name, email and message.
In FlowMattic, open Connects and add a Slack connection with an account that is in the channel you want.
Create a workflow with the Basin New Submission trigger and follow its instructions to send your Basin form's submissions to the workflow.
Fill in the form on your site once so FlowMattic captures the field names exactly as your form sends them.
Add Send Channel Message, choose the channel and write the message from the captured fields. Test the step and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Basin and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
A plain HTML form on a static site can still reach the right Slack channel, without writing a backend or a serverless function.
Quotes, applications and support questions land with the people who handle them instead of in one shared inbox.
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a busy launch week of form entries costs nothing extra.
Create a workflow with the Basin New Submission trigger, send one test entry, then add the Slack Send Channel Message action. Map the form fields into the message and switch the workflow on.
Yes. The workflow runs alongside Basin's own settings, so you can keep the email notification, or turn it off in Basin once the Slack posts are working.
Yes. Use Send Private Channel Message instead of Send Channel Message, for example for job applications or forms that collect personal details.
Yes, when they send to the same trigger. Add a Router on the form name or a hidden field, with one Slack step per form, and a fallback path for anything new.
