Ask for a window, not a slot
'Preferred date' plus a morning/afternoon/evening dropdown sets the right expectation — this is a request you'll confirm, not a claimed calendar slot.

No backend code
No server, API route, or SDK — your Appointment Request Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Straight to your inbox
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
Copy-paste ready
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Appointment Request Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
Your Appointment Request Form, ready to paste.
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
How to add a Appointment Request Form to your site.
To add a Appointment Request Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Confirm fast, by reply
The submission lands in your inbox; reply to confirm or counter-offer. Same-hour confirmations make request-and-confirm feel as instant as real-time booking.
Reduce no-shows with the auto-responder
The instant acknowledgment ('we got your request, confirmation within 2 hours') plus your confirmation reply doubles as the appointment record the client searches their inbox for.
What's included
What's in this Appointment Request Form template?
Calendly-style scheduling is brilliant until your availability doesn't fit tidy slots — jobs run long, you batch by neighborhood, or half your bookings need a judgment call first. The request-and-confirm pattern keeps the human in the loop: the client submits the service and a preferred window, you reply confirming or offering the next slot. One email round-trip, no subscription, and the form works for exactly the businesses whose calendars don't fit slot pickers. Request-and-confirm: human judgment on every booking, no scheduling subscription.
- Booking / appointment — 6 ready-made fields
- HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
- One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and classifier, no CAPTCHA
Where submissions go
Where do your Appointment Request Form submissions go?
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.
- Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox
- Honeypot and spam classifier filter bots, no CAPTCHA friction
- Live dashboard, CSV export, and signed webhooks on paid plans

Testimonials
Loved by developers shipping at every scale.
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.”
Questions
Appointment Request Form questions.
View all FAQsWhy not just use Calendly?
If your slots are uniform and your calendar is accurate, use Calendly. Request-and-confirm wins when jobs vary in length, you route by location, or bookings need vetting — the judgment call happens before the calendar commitment.
Can the form show my real availability?
No — it collects preferences, it doesn't sync calendars. That's the trade: zero setup and total control in exchange for one confirmation email per booking.
How do I take a deposit with the booking?
Enable payments on the form — the client pays the deposit through Stripe or Square as they submit, which is the single best no-show reducer there is.
What fields cut back-and-forth the most?
Service type (dropdown), preferred date, time window, and phone. The phone number matters: appointment logistics resolve in one text versus three emails.
