A Second Look Changed Everything – Brizy Is More Powerful Than It Appears
The Bottom Line
Brizy Cloud initially felt limiting, but once I learned to combine its native webhooks with custom JS, it transformed into a genuinely powerful tool. If you're willing to dig a bit deeper, there's much more here than meets the eye.
My Journey with Brizy
I first tried Brizy about 3 years ago and was underwhelmed. The drag-and-drop interface was nice for quick mockups, but I hit walls fast:
- Contact forms could only send emails or connect to specific integrations
- No real e-commerce functionality
- Limited customization options overall
I shelved it and moved on to other tools.
What Changed (Spoiler: I Did)
Recently, I decided to give Brizy another shot for a client's full website. Instead of accepting the limitations, I explored what I could do with two key features I'd overlooked:
Native Webhooks: Brizy's contact forms have a webhook option that I completely missed before. Combined with Albato (another AppSumo tool), I can now send form data anywhere and trigger any automation I need. This single feature removes the "integration lock-in" problem entirely.
Custom JS in Embed Blocks: This is where Brizy really opened up for me. I'm now using custom JavaScript to:
- Calculate dynamic values (like days since an event based on today's date)
- Create click-based interactions that change displayed content
- Add custom logic and interactivity the drag-and-drop builder doesn't natively support
Suddenly, Brizy went from "limited page builder" to "flexible platform I can extend however I need."
What I Like Now
Quick to Market: The drag-and-drop is genuinely fast for getting pages live. No hosting headaches.
Extensible (If You Know How): Webhooks + custom JS unlock possibilities the interface doesn't advertise.
Reliable, Fast (enough) Hosting: One less thing to manage or worry about.
Good Enough Has Improved: I liked it enough after this discovery that I bought several more codes.
What's Still Missing
E-commerce: Still no native e-commerce functionality. You'd need to work around this with embedded solutions or external tools.
Not Obvious: The power features (webhooks, custom code) aren't surfaced well. I almost gave up on Brizy before discovering them.
Learning Curve for Power Users: If you want to go beyond drag-and-drop, you need to be comfortable with webhooks and JavaScript. There's not much documentation on advanced use cases.
My Honest Take
Brizy sits in an interesting middle ground. Out of the box, it's a decent but somewhat limited page builder. But if you're technical enough to use webhooks and custom JavaScript, it becomes significantly more capable than it appears.
Worth noting: Not much has fundamentally changed in Brizy (for me) over those 3 years – the features were always there. I just needed to approach it differently. Sometimes the limitation is in how we use tools, not the tools themselves.
