How to add a contact form to Cargo.
To add a contact form to a Cargo (cargo.site) website you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the form snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No plugin, no server, no SMTP setup — every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Open the Code tool in Cargo
In Cargo, open the page you want the form on and add the Code tool — Cargo's block for pasting raw HTML.
Paste the form HTML
Paste the form code into the Code block, replacing YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard.
Save and publish
Publish the page. Accepted submissions are saved to your SplitForms dashboard before owner notification email is attempted. Delivery time and inbox placement depend on the provider and recipient settings.
Why an endpoint
Does Cargo have a built-in contact form?
No. Cargo is built for portfolios — clean HTML/CSS control for designers, photographers, and artists — not form processing. There's no server behind a Cargo site to receive and store submissions, so every contact form has to point at an external backend to work. splitforms fills that gap: a hosted endpoint that accepts any HTML form's POST, the same way it does for plain HTML sites and other static builders — a common case for portfolio sites and photographers.
Where submissions go
Where do your Cargo form submissions go?
Every Cargo form submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it ever reaches your inbox. Add a hidden redirect field to send visitors to a thank-you page, and a subject field to set the email subject line.
- 500 submissions total, free to start
- Honeypot + IP rate limits screen bots before your inbox
- Owner email notifications on every plan, including Free; delivery depends on provider and recipient settings
Spam-free
How do you stop spam on a Cargo contact form?
The hidden botcheck field in the snippet is a honeypot that traps simple bots — leave it empty and hidden, and real visitors never see it. splitforms also screens every Cargo submission server-side, so the noise never reaches you.
- Hidden botcheck honeypot traps simple bots
- Server-side content heuristics + IP rate limiting (6/min)
- Optional reCAPTCHA v2 for an extra layer
How SplitForms works
What happens after someone submits your form?
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Connect & automate
Where can submissions go besides email?
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Yes. Cargo supports custom HTML via its Code tool. Add an HTML form that posts to a hosted form backend like splitforms, and you're collecting submissions without any plugin or external embed.
Does Cargo have a built-in form?
No. Cargo doesn't have a native form backend — there's no server behind a Cargo site to receive submissions. You need a hosted form backend like splitforms to receive, store, and email you Cargo form submissions.

How do I stop spam on my Cargo contact form?
The hidden botcheck field in the code above is a honeypot that traps simple bots — leave it empty and hidden, and real visitors never see it. splitforms also applies server-side content heuristics and rate-limits abuse automatically (6 submissions per minute per IP), with optional reCAPTCHA v2 if you want an extra layer.

Yes. Add a hidden redirect field with your thank-you page URL and splitforms sends visitors there after a successful submission. You can also add a subject field to control the email subject line.
