Run an automated form submission for testing / uptime purposes

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was any method that can be used to run an automated form submission for testing / uptime purposes? I recently had an issue due to a PHP upgrade that meant a form failed to submit, but it wasn’t until a user reported the issue that I became aware of it. I use uptime monitoring to check the overall uptime of the website but I was looking to see if there was a way to run an automated test of a simple CF7 form and check for a valid successful submission, e.g. submit some post data to the form?

    Thanks!

  • @rickcurran did you find a solution? I was looking for the same thing due to similar issues.

    @ohhcee No, I’ve not really looked into it since I posted this question. Let me know if you come across anything, I would still like to find a way to monitor this.

    @rickcurran I was thinking about coding a script on my own that does the trick and that can be run as a cronjob. could not find a solution online yet.

    @ohhcee Yep, something like that could work.

    I was keen to find something that can do a test using JavaScript as well, CF7 does fallback to regular form submission if JavaScript is not available for some reason but there is a chance that a JS error could cause the form not to be submitted.

    However, the error that originally prompted this question was a backend issue, so any contact form submission failure would have been noticed if I’d had any way to track it.
