EnterestOS

What you add after the Tally form submits

Connect your Tally form via webhook. Every submission becomes a tracked response with a status. You always know what needs a reply and what is already handled.

  • Every submission has a status: Reply, Waiting, Done
  • One dashboard across all your Tally forms and projects
  • You always know what still needs a reply
  • Under 5 minutes to connect via webhook
  • Free tier — 1 project, 50 responses/month
  • Does not build forms — use Tally for that
  • Does not send emails to visitors automatically

Verdict

Use both. Tally builds the form. EnterestOS tracks every submission from that form until it is resolved. They are complementary — not competing. Tally is free. EnterestOS has a free tier. Total cost for most solo builders: $0.

Common questions

Questions people usually ask next

?Should I use Tally or EnterestOS for my contact form?
Use Tally to build the form — it is free and excellent. Use EnterestOS to track every submission from that form until you have replied and resolved it. They do different jobs and work well together.
?Does EnterestOS work with Tally forms?
Yes. Tally supports webhook notifications on submit. Point the webhook at EnterestOS and every Tally submission appears in your dashboard as Reply immediately.
?Why not just use Tally's built-in email notifications?
Tally's email notifications tell you a submission arrived — they have no status. You cannot tell which submissions you replied to, which are in active conversations, and which are resolved. EnterestOS gives every submission a lifecycle status that you move forward until it is done.
