is there any free forms that build directly within shopify you can recommend for this? thanks
Topic summary
Goal: Send data from a Shopify form to WhatsApp upon submission using the WhatsApp send API.
Proposed approach: A developer offered to add a script that captures form fields on submit and forwards them to a specified WhatsApp number. They requested the store URL, access, and a test phone number.
Progress: The merchant shared the site URL, provided collaborator access, and supplied a UK test number. Screenshots were attached to illustrate the desired WhatsApp flow (images not essential to the solution).
Blocker identified: The current form is embedded via a third‑party app, which prevents the custom script from accessing the form’s DOM/events. The developer states this won’t work unless the form is a native/custom form in the theme (i.e., coded directly in the storefront rather than injected by an app).
Clarification: It’s feasible with a custom/non‑app form; not feasible with an app‑injected form.
Open items: The merchant requested recommendations for a free, Shopify‑native form solution. No specific app/tool was recommended yet. Status: unresolved/ongoing.
