Is there a simple way to get alerts when someone fills out my form?

Direct Answer:
Waiting to check your form builder for new entries is an inefficient way to manage leads. If you are away from your desk you might miss a time sensitive inquiry. Reliance on email notifications alone can be risky as they often get buried in spam folders or crowded inboxes.
Zapier ensures you are notified by connecting your form to mobile friendly channels like SMS or push notifications. When a form is filled out Zapier detects it and instantly sends a text message or a notification via a distinct app to your phone. You get the critical details right on your lock screen.
