Tally form → lead log → Telegram alert. The free version of the lead alert

The problem

The lead alert needs a form that can send a webhook, and many small sites have a contact form that cannot. Replacing the whole site form is a project; a free Tally form embedded on the same page is ten minutes.

What happens when it runs

1. A Tally form (name, phone, email, and a hidden "source" field) sends every submission to the Make webhook
2. Make writes a timestamped row into the leads log in Google Sheets
3. A Telegram message to sales with the name, phone and source

The tools inside

Disclosure: links marked "paid link" pay us a commission from the vendor if you sign up. Your price is unchanged, and every file here works without them. How we choose tools →

• Tally — the form that fires the webhook (free; any form tool works) · Create a free form → paid link · we earn a commission
• Make — the automation engine · Sign up (one month of Core free) → paid link · we earn a commission
• Google Sheets — log and lists
• Telegram — alerts

Before you start

Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:

• The webhook address (created on import; paste it in Tally → Integrations → Webhooks)
• The order of the fields in your Tally form (the blueprint maps by position: name, phone, email, source)
• Spreadsheet id
• Chat ID

Sheet templates

The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

• Leads log · timestamp | name | phone | email | source (Sent with the blueprint by email)

How to import (2 minutes)

1. In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
2. At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
3. Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
4. Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
5. Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON
