How to Send Happy Forms Submissions to Discord
Discord is a messaging platform. Form submissions can trigger instant notifications. Happy Forms lets you create powerful forms, but sending data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Discord.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting your forms to messaging, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Happy Forms installed and at least one form.
- A Discord account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Discord to AFI
Discord uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Discord, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Happy Forms to Discord.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Happy Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Discord as the destination
Choose Discord from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a message to a Discord channel.
4. Map fields
Match each Discord field on the left to the corresponding Happy Forms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Fill out your Happy Forms form and submit. Check Discord to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps message text to Discord with unlimited submissions. Pro adds channel selection and embed options. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.
Will adding this slow down my form?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
