The problem it solves

You want a simple way for people to sign up for your newsletter or product, without paying for expensive form software or building something from scratch. Long, complicated forms scare people off before they finish.

Who it fits

A startup or small business collecting newsletter signups or early leads.

How it works

  1. A visitor fills out a short signup form
  2. Their email is saved to a spreadsheet
  3. A few short follow-up questions gather more details, updating the same record
  4. The visitor sees a friendly completion screen
  5. Your team gets notified in Slack about the new lead
What you get

Leads captured you'd otherwise never see

You collect new signups through a short form, log every lead straight to a spreadsheet, and get a Slack alert the moment someone signs up.

What you get

A new lead record in a spreadsheet and a Slack notification for your team.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Slack workspace.

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.
