Real-Time Updates
SendForm.live's real-time feature lets you see submissions the instant they arrive. No more refreshing pages or waiting for email notifications.
How It Works
When you open a form's submission page, SendForm.live establishes a WebSocket connection to our servers. This creates a live channel that pushes new submissions to your browser immediately.
The LIVE badge in your form header indicates the connection is active. If you see "Connecting...", the real-time connection is being established.
What Happens When Someone Submits
- User fills out and submits your form
- Submission is saved to the database
- You see it appear instantly in your dashboard
- The submission count updates automatically
- Sound plays (if enabled)
- Push notification appears (if enabled)
Benefits
- Faster Response: Respond to leads while they're still engaged
- No Refreshing: Leave the tab open and watch submissions come in
- Instant Awareness: Know immediately when something needs attention
- Live Demos: Great for showing forms to clients or team members
Connection Status
The LIVE badge shows your connection status:
- LIVE (pulsing): Connected and receiving updates
- Connecting...: Establishing connection
If you lose connection (e.g., network issues), SendForm.live will automatically reconnect when possible.
Browser Requirements
Real-time updates work in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). No plugins or extensions required.
