Shifter Form

Requirements

• Contact form plugin and its class or id on the form element
  e.g. ContactForm7 or Gravityforms or other
• Form endpoint URL ( IFTTT, Basin, FormKeep, Formspree, or custom Endpoints)
• Shifter Form plugin

Setting up

1. Create an endpoint URL

We use Basin for this.

https://usebasin.com/

To get started create a Basin account. They offer a free starter plan for core features that would cover most users needs.

2. Copy endpoint URL

Once you have an account and verified your email address create your first form endpoint. This endpoint will generate a unique URL.

Your basin URL will look something like this:

https://usebasin.com/f/0123456789abcdef

e.g.
