About TownHall.gg
TownHall gives websites and apps a place to send data without building a backend. Setting one form action attribute is enough: every submission is stored in the dashboard, emailed to your team and forwarded to webhooks, with Slack and Discord alerts, and Cloudflare Turnstile blocks bots on the way in. It is meant to drop into frontends built with React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte or Astro, and into WordPress, Webflow and Framer sites.
Beyond forms, uploads are sent directly from the browser to storage at the edge and come back as fast public URLs on a CDN, and branded short links report every click. A built-in CRM can create or update a person record from each submission, with tags, notes and history attached, and teams are invited with four roles (owner, admin, editor, viewer) and two-factor sign-in. Integrations include Slack and Zapier.
It is a hosted service with documentation and a changelog. A free plan is included and no credit card is required to start. Notifications and records are meant to reach wherever the team already works, so developers do not have to run or maintain their own server for form handling.
