# Wix

> A Wix Forms form sends its submissions to formcarry through a Wix Automation, because Wix's own form element has no action URL setting.

The **Send HTTP request** action posts each submission to your endpoint after Wix has received it, and formcarry stores it and sends the notification email.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you need:

* A formcarry account. [Sign up](https://app.formcarry.com/register) is free.
* A form in the [dashboard](https://app.formcarry.com). Its endpoint is on the form's Setup page. The examples use `https://formcarry.com/s/AbC123xyz`; put yours in its place.

## 1. Create an automation

In your site's Wix dashboard, go to **Automations**, click **+ Create Automation**, then **Start from Scratch**. Click the title to name it.

## 2. Pick the trigger

Select **Form submitted** under Wix Forms. The blue icon is the trigger for new Wix Forms, the red one for old forms. Choose **Specific** and pick your form, or **Any** for every form on the site.

Leave **Trigger once per person** off rather than on, otherwise a visitor's second submission never reaches formcarry.

## 3. Add the HTTP request

Click the **Add Step** icon, click **Action** and select **Send HTTP request**. Paste the endpoint into **Webhook URL**:

```text theme={null}
https://formcarry.com/s/AbC123xyz
```

Choose **POST** as the method rather than **GET**, otherwise formcarry answers with a page that says GET is not allowed and stores nothing.

## 4. Map the fields

Under **Body params**, choose **Customize structure**. For each field, click **+ Add New Item**, type the name formcarry stores in **Key**, choose the form field in **Value**, and click **Add**. For a contact form:

| Key       | Value                    |
| --------- | ------------------------ |
| `name`    | the form's name field    |
| `email`   | the form's email field   |
| `message` | the form's message field |

The submission arrives with `name`, `email` and `message`. **Entire payload** sends all data from the trigger instead; **Preview Structure** shows what that is.

## 5. Activate it

Click **Activate** rather than **Save**, otherwise the automation stays a draft and sends nothing. An automation that is turned off sends no requests either.

## Field names

The **Key** you type for each item is the field name formcarry stores the value under. Wix forces no names when you map the fields yourself.

Give the visitor's address the key `email` rather than `contact` or `your address`, otherwise replying to a notification goes nowhere and the auto response is not sent. Under `email` it is the reply to address of the notification email and the recipient of the auto response.

## After the visitor submits

The visitor sees what the Wix form shows: the **Submission message**, or the external URL chosen under **When a visitor submits a form**, both in the submit button's **Field Settings**. Formcarry's thank you page and redirect never appear because the request comes from Wix Automations after the visitor has submitted, not from the visitor's browser.

## Spam blocker

Wix's own protection runs on the Wix form, under **Spam filter settings** in the form's **Settings**: **Only reCAPTCHA**, **Basic and reCAPTCHA** or **Advanced and reCAPTCHA**. Nothing from it reaches formcarry.

Leave formcarry's spam blocker off for this form rather than adding a secret key under Form Security, otherwise every submission is refused, with `403` for reCAPTCHA or `400` for hCaptcha and Turnstile, because the token has to come from the visitor's browser and none does.

## Test it

Submit the form once on your published site. The submission is on the form's page in the dashboard, and the notification email arrives at your account's address.

Wait 15 seconds before a second test, otherwise it gets a `429`.
