Can I use PayPal?

How do integrations work?

Create a connection under Lumo Forms Integrations, enable it, then assign it on each form under Settings Integrations. After a successful form submit, Lumo sends the mapped data to the enabled services.

Which integrations are included for free?

Do I need field mapping for Slack?

No. Slack receives the form title and submitted field values. Map email and name only for Mailchimp and Brevo.

Where can I see if an integration ran?

Open Lumo Forms Reports (Form Health) for integration status and recent activity, or check the connected Mailchimp audience, Brevo list, or Slack channel.

Is this GDPR-compliant?

The plugin stores IP addresses and user agents with submissions, and payment metadata when a payment is collected. When integrations are enabled, mapped submitter data (such as email and name) is sent to those third-party services. Review your privacy policy and add consent fields where needed. See External services.

How do I enable captcha?

Go to Lumo Forms Settings Spam Protection, choose a provider and add API keys (not needed for Simple Math). Then open your form in the builder and enable Captcha under General Spam Protection.
