Show HN: Mailik – Effortlessly Receive Form Responses in Your Inbox

#1

Post by PondSwimmer »

Hello, Mailik is a really simple tool mostly made by my "szwagier". It was our internal tool for a long time, but now, we want to make it public as it is useful.

Flow: User submits a form on any of your websites -> website uses mailik sdk -> form submission is sent to one or more emails you specified in mailik dashboard.

The reason we made it - we always missed those submissions when they were submitted to CRM somehow.

nice to see a simple solution to a common problem.

how do you handle spam submissions? do you have any built-in filtering or do you rely on the user's email provider to catch the junk mail?

also, what third party are you using to ensure deliverability of mail?

its not an issue as emails are always send from the same domain - mailik.dev, so you can whitelist in your inbox to make sure its not detected as spam. regarding the spam sumbmision, this is an interesting topic. as for now we're fully leaving building and handling forms for our users, what we do is just handling email delivery :)

Isn't it too technical for customers like "freelancers & small companies"? They have to know how to install a npm package and use it which excludes most standard cms sites like wordpress. Why is this not a "no-code" drop in snippet where stuff could be configured in the dashboard.

Typo in the following sentence on the landing page > Set up a trigger action which will make Mailik send you the form resposne. resposne instead of response edit: another one > Manage all your forms esponses. esponses instead of response

Thanks!

Nice idea, we will discuss how we could make it happen soon

Wufoo.com does this. The MBAs won over there though so lots of opportunities to be better.
