Use case
Send Contact Form Notification Emails
When a form submission should notify a team, NoticeAPI can be the outbound email layer. Use REST from your app, or SMTP relay from software that already has mail settings, then inspect logs and delivery events in one place.
host: smtp.noticeapi.com port: 465 security: implicit TLS username: noticeapi password: ntc_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx from: Forms <[email protected]>
Works with SMTP settings
Use smtp.noticeapi.com on port 465 for tools that already send through SMTP.
REST alternative
Custom apps can call the send API directly and include structured form details in HTML or text.
Verified sender domains
Production form notifications send from domains you verify with DNS.
Logs for debugging
Each notification appears in NoticeAPI logs and timelines so missed form alerts are easier to trace.
How it works
From test send to production traffic.
Pick REST or SMTP
Use REST when you own the code path; use SMTP when a site builder or CMS already exposes mail settings.
Verify the sender
Add DNS for the domain you want notification messages to come from.
Send a simulator test
Use sandbox and simulator addresses while the form workflow is still in development.
Monitor delivery
Use logs, email timelines, and webhooks to catch bounces or configuration mistakes.
Trust
Outbound notifications, clearly scoped
This use case is for sending notification email after a form submission. NoticeAPI does not collect form submissions for you; your app or site owns the form and decides what to send.
Implementation links
Build with the shipped docs.
FAQ
Questions developers ask before switching email.
Can I use this with a CMS contact form?
Yes, if the CMS or plugin can send through SMTP on port 465 with username and password authentication.
Does NoticeAPI store form submissions?
No. Your app or site owns the form data. NoticeAPI sends the notification email you provide.
Should form notifications use broadcasts?
No. Contact form notifications are transactional sends to your team. Broadcasts are for consent-based audience messages.
