There are three ways into the Formitor dashboard at app.formitor.com.
Read guideInstall the Formitor plugin
Formitor watches your forms through a small WordPress plugin (the "spoke") that you install on each site you want to monitor.
Read guideAdd a site to your dashboard
Once the plugin is installed and activated, connect the site here.
Read guideHow form monitoring works
Formitor automatically finds the forms on your site and tests them on a schedule, so you know your leads actually get through.
Read guideConnect an AI assistant
Formitor can be connected to an AI assistant, so you can ask questions like "is anything broken right now?" in plain language instead of opening the…
Read guideTesting forms protected by CAPTCHA or anti-spam
Formitor checks your forms by sending a real (synthetic) submission and then confirming the lead was actually delivered. Many forms sit behind a…
Read guideWhen a form looks fine but won't submit (hidden required fields)
Sometimes a form looks completely normal (it loads, you can fill it in), but when a visitor clicks Send, nothing happens. No error, no confirmation,…
Read guideUpdating the Formitor plugin

Read guideMonitoring Gravity Forms
Formitor supports Gravity Forms out of the box, alongside WPForms, Contact Form 7, Elementor, Fluent Forms and Ninja Forms.
Read guideAllow Formitor through a host or server firewall
Some blocks happen before a request ever reaches WordPress: a firewall at your hosting company, a server tool like fail2ban or CSF, or a security…
Read guideAllow Formitor through Cloudflare
When your site sits behind Cloudflare, its firewall can challenge or block the checks Formitor sends from outside. Your monitoring still works in…
Read guideAllow Formitor through the Sucuri firewall
Sucuri's website firewall filters every request before it reaches your site, and that can include the checks Formitor sends. Monitoring keeps working…
Read guideAllow Formitor through Wordfence
Wordfence runs a firewall inside WordPress, and its rules can block the checks Formitor sends. Monitoring keeps working in protected mode, since the…
Read guideWhy you received a plugin update email
Connected sites keep the Formitor plugin current on their own: WordPress checks our update feed and installs new versions automatically. When a site…
Read guideWill my clients receive Formitor test emails?
No. Formitor's synthetic submissions are designed never to reach your real recipients. On each test, the spoke plugin intercepts the form…
Read guidePausing checks for a site or form
You can pause Formitor's synthetic checks while a site or form is being worked on, so maintenance doesn't trigger false "form broken" or…
Read guideWhat “may be broken in-browser” means
Formitor's standard check submits to your form's server endpoint: that proves the back end accepts a lead. But a form can pass that check and still…
Read guideUptime monitoring
The Monitors section (sidebar) tracks whether your sites and services are up.
Read guideIncidents, escalation & maintenance
When a monitor goes down, Formitor opens an incident and alerts your channels.
Read guideSites behind Cloudflare or a firewall
Some hosts, security plugins, and Cloudflare settings block requests that do not come from a real browser. That protects the site, but it also blocks…
Read guideReading your dashboard (List, Grid, Compact)
Use the view switcher in the header (top right) to change how your sites are shown.
Read guideWhat the form badges mean
Each form can show small badges next to its name:

Formitor checks that each of your sites is reachable about every 10 minutes, separate from your form checks.
Read guideWhy you were signed out, and what happens to your work
Your sign-in to the Formitor dashboard lasts for a limited time. While the dashboard is open and awake it renews itself in the background, so you…
Read guideInbox placement: Inbox, Promotions & Spam
Plain delivery checks only tell you an email was sent. Formitor goes further and reads where it landed by sending a tagged test to a seed inbox we…
Read guideSPF, DKIM & DMARC explained
These three DNS records tell receiving servers your email is legitimate. Formitor checks them and, when a test email gets through, reads the real…

Get told the moment a form breaks, and when it recovers. Alerts fire only on a change of state, so you won't be spammed.
Read guideConnect Slack
1. Create an Incoming Webhook for the channel you want alerts in (Slack → Apps → Incoming Webhooks → Add to Slack → choose a channel).
