Contact Form Submits
Also known as Working contact form · Form delivery
The live contact form actually delivers a message end-to-end, reaching and routing to the right inbox.
What it is
This check confirms the production contact form does more than show a success message: a real submission is processed, delivered, and routed to the intended recipient. It validates the full path from browser to backend to inbox.
Why it matters
A silently broken contact form means lost leads, support requests, and trust, often with no error to alert anyone. At launch a working contact path is a basic credibility and conversion requirement.
How to verify
Submit the live form with a real test message and confirm it arrives in the destination inbox or CRM, not just a thank-you screen. Check spam folders, server logs, and any email delivery dashboard, and confirm autoresponders and notifications fire.
How to fix
Fix the form handler, mail transport, or integration so submissions are reliably delivered and routed to the right team. Add server-side validation, spam protection, and delivery monitoring, and align sending with your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records.
