# Welcome

Collect.chat provides a platform where anyone can build interactive,
conversational forms using simple drag & drop message types
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1028-message-type]. We aim to make the
process of building forms as easy as possible.



Our forms are completely automated. They engage your visitors and collect
valuable information from them. You will receive instant email notifications
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1019-email-notifications] for each response
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1104-what-is-a-response]. These chat widgets
can be installed by a simple copy-paste
[https://collect.chat/help/category/102-installation-guide] method and will be
available 24x7.


INTEGRATIONS

You can use our webhooks
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1074-send-the-data-to-your-server-using-webhook]
to route the data via Zapier [https://collect.chat/help/article/1068-zapier] or
Make (formerly Integromat) [https://collect.chat/help/article/1076-integromat]
to any third party app or server. You can track the form events using Google
Analytics [https://collect.chat/help/article/1022-google-analytics] or Meta
Pixel [https://collect.chat/help/article/1023-facebook-pixel].


SHARE YOUR CREATIONS

This Developer Hub gives you additional power to configure and customise the
chat widget using the JavaScript API. We are excited to see how you use the API,
