§ 01Why it mattersthe qualifying-fields argument

A 'contact us' form on a Realtor's site that only asks for name and email is a wasted lead. By the time you call the buyer back, they've already inquired with three other agents. The form needs to qualify on the spot — price band, target neighbourhoods, beds/baths, whether they're pre-approved, and how soon they want to move. With those five fields you know whether to call them today or drop them in a long-term nurture sequence.

Wired into Follow Up Boss / kvCORE / Lofty in under 10 minutes via webhook.

§ 03Three steps3 steps · ~60 seconds

Generate, embed, receive.

Three actions stand between you and your first lead. None of them require a backend, a database, or a CAPTCHA library.

STEP 01GENERATE

Drop the form into your IDX site

Works on any IDX-powered site — Wix, Squarespace, Real Geeks, Sierra, BoomTown, Placester, or a custom Next.js build. Paste the HTML into the page or a contact partial.

Create your form

key=sk_live_••••••••

STEP 02EMBED

Qualify on submit

Required fields: budget, target area, beds, timeline. Optional: pre-approval status and current home situation. The Realtor's day is shaped by which leads have those filled in.

STEP 03RECEIVE

Forward to your CRM

Webhook the submission straight into Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, Lofty, or Zapier. Hot leads (timeline 30 days, pre-approved) trigger an SMS to your phone via the webhook.

§ 04bUse this template with…17 frameworks · same backend

One template. Every framework.

The same field set works on every framework splitforms supports. HTML, React, Next.js, Vue, Astro, Hugo, WordPress — same POST, same backend.

§ 06FAQ4 answered

Things people ask before they ship.

Direct answers, no marketing fluff. Missing one? Email hello@splitforms.com.

01Will this work with my IDX provider (Real Geeks, kvCORE, etc.)?

Yes — the form is plain HTML and posts to splitforms, not your IDX. Most IDX dashboards let you embed custom HTML on landing pages or use a custom contact partial. Submissions arrive in your splitforms inbox and webhook out to your CRM of choice.

02Can I route buyer leads to one agent and seller leads to another?

Yes — use one form per intent (this one for buyers, the home-valuation form for sellers) and set a different BCC / webhook on each. Or use a single form with a 'I'm a buyer / seller / both' radio and a webhook that routes on that field.

03Is the lead data NAR / MLS compliant?

splitforms stores submissions encrypted at rest and lets you delete them on request. There's no MLS data on the form itself — you collect lead-side info only — so MLS compliance lives with your IDX provider, not with us.

04How fast do leads usually call back?

Industry data says response within 5 minutes is 21x more likely to convert than 30 minutes. Webhook the submission to a Twilio SMS or a phone-call API and you're inside that window automatically.
