How it works

Four steps from zero to live counter.

1

Create your form

Build an event registration or signup form in formwhale. Publish it to get a public form slug.

2

Copy the embed code

Grab the two-line snippet from the Embed tab on your form. Replace the slug with your own.

3

Paste on your site

Drop the code into any page on your church or nonprofit website. No plugin required.

4

Count updates live

Every submission increments the counter automatically. Visitors always see the latest number.

Built for your use cases
