I Built a Form Backend That Sends Submissions to WhatsApp — Beta Testers Wanted

If you’ve ever shipped a simple landing page with a contact form, you know the moment.

You finish the HTML.
You add validation.
You hit “Submit”…

…and then you remember: forms don’t do anything without a backend.

For beginners, that’s where projects stall.
For freelancers, that’s where a “quick site” turns into SMTP setup, spam issues, and “why didn’t we get that enquiry?” messages from clients.

So I built Web2Phone: a lightweight form backend that forwards submissions to WhatsApp (and email as a fall back).

This week I’m looking for a few more beta users to try it on real projects and tell me what breaks, what’s confusing, and what features would make it a no-brainer.

The idea (in one sentence)

Drop in a snippet, and your form submissions get delivered to WhatsApp instantly — no server, no database, no SMTP.

Email is supported too (and it’s a great fall back), but WhatsApp is the “you’ll actually see it” channel for a lot of small businesses.

Why WhatsApp instead of “just email”

Email delivery is fragile in ways most devs only learn after a few client sites:

• Messages land in spam
• Mailboxes get full
• Notifications get ignored
• Clients don’t check inboxes during the day

WhatsApp is the opposite:

• It’s on the lock screen
• It gets opened fast
• It feels urgent

If the goal is “respond quickly to enquiries,” WhatsApp is often the shortest path.

How it works (high level)

Web2Phone gives you:

A dashboard to create and manage forms
An endpoint that receives submissions securely
Delivery to WhatsApp
Email fall back
Failure logs so you can see any missed submissions

You keep your frontend exactly how you want it. Web2Phone handles the boring parts.

Try it in a few minutes

The beta flow is intentionally simple:

1. Sign up
2. Create a form
3. Paste the embed snippet into your site
4. Done — submissions route to WhatsApp/email

If you want to kick the tyres quickly, use it on:

• a portfolio contact form
• a landing page
• a client “get a quote” form
• any small MVP where you don’t want to build backend plumbing

What you get on the free plan

Right now the public free plan includes:
**

• 1 form
• 3 WhatsApp notifications / month
• 25 emails / month **

That’s enough to test the full flow end-to-end.

Beta users: I can upgrade you (Starter) while you test

I don’t have a formal “beta offer” page yet, but here’s what I’ve been doing for current beta users:
**

• Upgrading them to Starter while they test
• 100 WhatsApp notifications / month
• Unlimited emails
• Up to 5 forms **

If you sign up and actually try it on a real project, comment below and I’ll sort the upgrade for you.

What I need feedback on (pick one)

If you try it, I’d love feedback on one of these (whatever you notice first):

• Was setup genuinely fast?
• Anything confusing in the dashboard?
• What would make you trust it for client sites?
• Any missing features that are deal-breakers?

Even “this is cool but I wouldn’t use it because ___” is extremely useful.

If you build websites for small businesses (or you’re a frontend dev who hates backend chores), I’d love to have you as a beta tester.

Thanks — and if you’ve ever had a client miss a form enquiry, I’m curious: what was the cause in your case?
