I built FormWatch after losing leads to a broken contact form (without realizing for a while)

The Problem:

Picture this: your contact/lead form breaks, customers are trying to contact you, but emails aren't coming in. A few days go by and you just think it's a "slow week," but it's not until later you realize that it's the form that's the problem, not your traffic/customers.

The most frustrating part is that 8 times out of 10, forms break silently, not loudly. Updated Wordpress? Form broken. Your web host made infra changes? Form broken. Changed email providers? Updated DB? Changed a plugin or theme? Guessed it.

Existing ideas:

Most other solutions I saw are tied to which platform you use through the use of plugins, or require webmaster access + technical know-how for adding a tracking code snippet, or involved other dashboards and features that I didn't want or need.

My ideal setup was something closer to UptimeRobot - something I've been using for years; a simple alert service that has one job: alert you when something's wrong, and that's it.

Dead simple, no code, plugins, or setup, and a 100% set-it-and-forget-it solution.

My solution:

That's where FormWatch comes in.

You add a monitoring email as BCC to your form. If emails stop arriving for a period you choose, we alert you. That's it.

It works with ANY platform (WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Google Forms, JotForms, TypeForms, custom sites). Our promise is:

If it sends email, we can monitor it.

Hassle-free and completely platform-agnostic, FormWatch lets you monitor crucial forms in the simplest and easiest way.

There's a free tier that lets you start out by monitoring one form, and paid plans (coming soon) will only ever add nice-to-haves, stuff like faster checking intervals or multiple recipient alerts. The core value remains free.

This started out as a tiny "I need this for myself" project, and now I'm putting it out there to see if it can help you too.

I'd love some feedback, especially if you've ever been burned by a broken form before!
