No backend to build
Your form posts to one splitforms endpoint — no server, API route, or SDK. splitforms is the backend.
Straight to your dashboard
Every submission is saved to a searchable dashboard and emailed to you — spam filtered before it lands.
Zapier, built in
No glue code, no third-party middleman — it ships as part of splitforms and works from your first submission.
Copy-paste ready
Drop this into any project.
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your splitforms dashboard. No SDK to install, no build step — the same html you already write.
// Setup in Zapier (about 2 minutes):
// 1. zapier.com → Create Zap.
// 2. Trigger app: "Webhooks by Zapier" → Event: Catch Hook.
// 3. Copy the unique catch-hook URL Zapier generates.
// 4. In splitforms: Form → Integrations → Webhooks → paste the URL → Save.
// 5. Submit your form once so Zapier catches a sample payload, then add any
// Action: Gmail, HubSpot, Airtable, Mailchimp, Notion, Discord — anything.
// Your form HTML stays identical; splitforms POSTs the submission to Zapier
// the moment it lands.
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">

Common Zaps people build on top of splitforms:
• New submission → Create or Update HubSpot contact

• New submission with company == "" → Slack DM owner to qualify
• New submission → SMS via Twilio if "phone" present
*/}How to set it up
How to set up Zapier.
How zapier flows through splitforms — what you do, what we do, and what lands in your inbox.
Paste the catch-hook URL into your form's webhooks
In splitforms: Form → Integrations → Webhooks → New webhook → paste the Zapier URL → save. Then submit your form once — Zapier catches the payload (the submission's fields plus id, form name, referer, and timestamp) and uses it as sample data so you can map fields visually.
Add any Zapier action — HubSpot, Airtable, Mailchimp, anything
Pick a Zapier action (or chain multiple), map the form fields to its inputs, optionally add Filter, Paths, or Formatter steps, and turn the Zap on. From now on splitforms POSTs every submission to Zapier the moment it lands, and Zapier's own Zap History logs every run for debugging and replay.
How zapier works
How does splitforms handle Zapier?
splitforms connects to Zapier through Zapier's built-in 'Webhooks by Zapier' trigger, which means you can pipe form submissions into any of Zapier's 6,000+ supported destination apps without writing any code. In Zapier, create a new Zap, pick 'Webhooks by Zapier' as the trigger with the 'Catch Hook' event, and copy the unique URL Zapier generates. Route the same submission to an email inbox or a webhook at the same time — nothing here is one-or-the-other.
- splitforms POSTs to Zapier the instant a submission lands — no splitforms-side polling
- 6,000+ destination apps via Zapier (HubSpot, Airtable, Mailchimp, Twilio, Linear, Discord, etc.)
- Visual field mapping in Zapier from a real sample submission

40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Common questions
Zapier questions.
View all FAQsIs splitforms a native Zapier app, and how does the connection work?
Not yet — today splitforms connects through Zapier's built-in 'Webhooks by Zapier' trigger. You create a Zap with the 'Catch Hook' event, copy the URL Zapier generates, and paste it into your form's Webhooks tab in splitforms. Because catch-hooks receive HTTP POSTs directly, splitforms pushes each submission to Zapier the moment it lands — there's no splitforms-side polling. A dedicated splitforms app in the Zapier directory, with a named 'New Submission' trigger and one-click OAuth, is on the roadmap; the webhook route is fully functional in the meantime.
What plan includes the Zapier integration, and what Zapier plan do I need?
The splitforms side unlocks with webhooks on Pro ($5/month) and above, with no per-Zap fee. On the Zapier side, the 'Webhooks by Zapier' catch-hook trigger works on every Zapier plan including the free tier. Each form submission that fires a Zap counts as one Zapier task on your Zapier quota, independently of your splitforms submission cap. High-volume forms or multi-step Zaps may need a paid Zapier plan for the task quota, but splitforms itself never charges per Zap.
How do I enable the Zapier integration and connect it to splitforms?
In Zapier: zapier.com → Create Zap → pick 'Webhooks by Zapier' as the trigger → choose the 'Catch Hook' event → copy the generated URL. In splitforms: open the form → Integrations → Webhooks → New webhook → paste the URL → save. Submit the form once, then click 'Test trigger' in Zapier to load that submission as sample data. From there, add any action step (Gmail, HubSpot, Airtable, etc.), map fields visually, and publish. To connect a second form, create a second Zap with its own catch-hook URL and paste it into that form's webhooks.
Does it work with HubSpot, Mailchimp, Airtable, Google Drive, Discord, Twilio, Linear, and other Zapier apps?
Yes — anything Zapier supports works as the action step after the catch-hook trigger. Common patterns: HubSpot 'Create or Update Contact' (deduped by email), Airtable 'Create Record', Mailchimp 'Add/Update Subscriber' with double opt in, Discord 'Send Channel Message', Twilio 'Send SMS' when a phone field is present, Linear or Jira 'Create Issue' from bug-report forms, Intercom 'Send Message', SendGrid 'Send Email', Notion 'Create Database Item' (though the native splitforms-to-Notion integration is faster and avoids Zapier task fees). Use Zapier's Filter and Paths steps to branch — e.g. 'if budget > $10k, create deal AND ping VIP Slack; otherwise just nurture'.
Should I use Zapier or splitforms' native integrations — and how do I troubleshoot a Zap that isn't firing?
Use the native integration when one exists (Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, webhooks) — it's faster and avoids Zapier task fees. Use Zapier when the destination is unique (HubSpot, Mailchimp, Twilio, Linear, etc.) or when you need Zapier's filters, paths, or multi-step orchestration. Troubleshooting: if a Zap isn't firing, open Zapier → Zap History — every triggered run is logged with the input data and the action result. Common causes: (1) Zap is turned off — check the toggle in Zapier. (2) Zapier task quota exhausted — visible in Zapier billing. (3) The catch-hook URL was regenerated in Zapier but not updated in splitforms — re-paste the current URL into the form's webhooks. (4) Action step failing on a missing field — add a Formatter step to default null to ''. From the splitforms side, Dashboard → Form → Integrations → Webhooks shows the Zapier webhook's last HTTP status and last error; a failed push is not currently retried automatically, so check Zapier's own Zap History for the definitive record of what fired.
