## What is FormBeep?

FormBeep is a privacy-first form notification service that sends website form submissions directly to WhatsApp. When someone submits a form on your website, you get an instant WhatsApp notification with all the form data.

- **Multiple recipients**: Send notifications to multiple WhatsApp numbers (plan-dependent)
- **Multi-domain support**: Use one account across multiple websites (plan-dependent)
- **Notification controls**: Pause/resume notifications on demand via dashboard
- **Custom success messages**: Override default confirmation message per form or globally
- **Complete dashboard**: Manage domains, numbers, view logs, regenerate API keys

5. Form data is permanently deleted after viewing
