Paste the widget HTML once
It's a self-contained block — anchor button, overlay, modal card, and a tiny script. Drop it into your site's footer template so every page has it.
Form template · Basic contact form
A popup contact widget that floats in the corner of your site, opens a centred modal, and closes on Escape. Zero dependencies — vanilla JS, ~80 lines.
This template is one of our free HTML form templates. See more form templates by industry.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Popup Contact Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Popup Contact Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
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.

To add a Popup Contact 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.
It's a self-contained block — anchor button, overlay, modal card, and a tiny script. Drop it into your site's footer template so every page has it.
One line — replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY in the form's hidden input. That's the only personalisation.
The trigger is a regular button — change the icon, label, or position with CSS. The modal styling is yours to fork. We give you a working starting point.
What's included
Putting a contact form on every page hurts conversion — it's noise. Putting a single 'Contact us' button in the corner of every page that opens a modal is the pattern Intercom popularised. You don't need Intercom's $99/month for it. The widget is 80 lines of HTML, CSS, and JS, and the form posts to the same splitforms endpoint you'd use anywhere else.

Where 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 automatic spam scoring 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.

How SplitForms works
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.

Point your form to your unique SplitForms endpoint. That's it.

We instantly capture and organize every submission in your inbox.

Send data to email, spreadsheets, CRMs, webhooks, and 7,000+ apps.

No credit card required. Set up in under 60 seconds.
Connect & automate
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.

Questions
The CSS in the example is vanilla but you can rewrite it in Tailwind — the structure (trigger button + overlay div + modal div) is what matters. We ship a Tailwind variant inside the dashboard once you sign up.
The 'open' trigger is an event listener on a button with id='lf-open' — duplicate that ID on any other button (header, footer, in-content link) and clicking it opens the same modal.
Yes — clicking the overlay outside the card closes it. Pressing Escape also closes. Both are accessibility wins; both are wired up in the example script.
Yes. The modal scales to viewport width on small screens and the trigger button stays in the bottom-right corner where it doesn't block content.
