The problem it solves

Collecting inquiries through a web form is easy, but keeping track of every submission in one place and remembering to follow up isn't. You don't want to manually copy each entry into a spreadsheet or check your inbox constantly for new leads. Different types of inquiries often need different responses, which adds another manual step.

Who it fits

Best for small businesses, freelancers, and educators who collect inquiries through a web form.

How it works

  1. Someone submits the form with their name, email, and occupation
  2. Their details are saved as a new row in your spreadsheet
  3. The system checks the type of inquiry
  4. A matching notification email is sent to you automatically
What you get

Inquiries logged and acknowledged automatically

Every form submission is saved to your spreadsheet and triggers a notification email matched to what they asked.

What you get

A saved record of every submission in Google Sheets, plus a notification email for each one.

What you need

A Google account with Sheets access and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
