How it works

Set up once. It watches every form and checkout, on every site.

No scripts to maintain, no fake monitoring endpoints. Formitor submits real leads through forms, places synthetic checkout orders, and follows each one all the way to the inbox.


The loop

Three steps, then it runs on its own.

Install once per site, set a cadence, and Formitor handles the rest: submitting, verifying, and confirming before it ever interrupts you.

Install the spoke plugin

Add the lightweight Formitor "spoke" to each WordPress site, a couple of clicks. It auto-discovers the forms across WPForms, Contact Form 7, Elementor, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms and Gravity Forms, and detects WooCommerce and SureCart checkout flows.

It submits test leads and checkout orders

On the schedule you set (default about every 12h), spaced to avoid throttling. Form leads are tagged and cleaned up. Checkout orders run as synthetic $0 test orders, so no real payment is ever charged and no live inventory is affected.

It verifies delivery & alerts

Formitor watches for the tagged notification to actually arrive. If it doesn't, a re-check buffer confirms the failure before any alert reaches your dashboard, webhook or inbox.


Step 2 · up close

Real submissions, paced like a careful human.

Formitor doesn't hammer your forms. Checks are spread across the cadence window so no single site gets a burst, and every test lead carries a unique tag so it's trivially distinguishable from a genuine enquiry, and safe to clean up.

  • Tagged entries. Every test lead is marked, so reporting and cleanup never touch real data.
  • Spaced scheduling. Checks fan out across the window to avoid rate limits and spam heuristics.
  • Per-form control. Cadence, active-hours and an on-demand "Check now" for every form.

No false alarms

It confirms a failure before it interrupts you.

A single missed delivery might just be a slow mail queue. Formitor treats the first miss as a question, not an answer, and only alerts once a re-check buffer agrees the lead truly didn't arrive.

While a form stays down

Escalating re-checks until it recovers.

Once a failure is confirmed, Formitor keeps probing on a tightening cadence so you know the moment service is restored, and it logs the recovery automatically. No manual "all clear" needed.

Exact intervals are tuned per form and adapt to how long the outage has lasted.

Per check

What a single check writes down.

Every run leaves an auditable record, so a status page, an SLA conversation, or a "was it us?" question all have a real answer.

Safe by design

It stays out of the way of real leads.

Formitor is built to be a quiet tenant on your clients' sites: it never pollutes their data, never trips their mail providers, and only the spoke it's allowed to talk to can ask it to act.

  • Tagged & cleaned up. Test entries are marked and removed, so client inboxes and CRMs stay clean.
  • Throttle-aware spacing. Checks are paced to avoid rate limits and spam heuristics.
  • HMAC-authenticated plugin. The spoke only accepts signed requests from Formitor; nothing else can trigger a submission.
  • CAPTCHAs stay on. Forms behind Turnstile, reCAPTCHA (v2/v3), hCaptcha and CleanTalk are tested without weakening them: only a request carrying Formitor's signed test token passes verification, never a bot.
  • Checkout orders are $0 test orders. No real payment is charged, no live inventory is touched, and test orders are cleaned up automatically.

Put it on every client's lead form.

Install the spoke, set a cadence, and let Formitor verify delivery on a schedule. Start in minutes.
