Yes but mailik only sends mails to your addresses not clients. However we will think how to filter spam ofc

Oh then I misunderstood.

Sending to in-the-loop third parties is a must. I’ve set up 1 form that goes to me directly and hundreds which go to others.

Maybe just sending the confirmation without the actual message. World is transforming and sending to people who filled out the form may open the gates to spammers. What do you think?
I think looking at how Gravity Forms (and similar) handles this within the WP ecosystem is a helpful starting point. A lot of expectations around what a form service does and doesn't do are set by those plugins – for better or worse.

I personally believe that sending a confirmation to the person filling out the form is a requirement, in some cases, and not having it would be a mistake.

Forms are tough! Glad ya'll are working on it.

Ok I will definitely take a look. Making integrations is a good next step for mailik. Thank you very much!!!
Curious to hear if you generally prefer to manage client's forms and billing through your own account or have them create their own and share credentials with you?
I think in a full build out, being able to manage forms+billing through a "developer account" that allows me to manage their stuff would be nice.

I would _especially_ like that the developer account gets like 3 free forms as long as clients are paying.

This idea needs exploring. It is good, but a little bit complicated.
I think there are 2 situations: - 1 client is not technical at all - so you manage on your acc - client is ok with having their own acc, then it is much better option
That makes sense. Are you currently using something more involved, e.g. Form Spree?
nope
