§ 00AJAX (vanilla JS) + Quote Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why AJAX (vanilla JS) developers choose splitforms for quote request

The quote request on this page integrates with AJAX (vanilla JS)'s development workflow using the form markup in your AJAX (vanilla JS) project. Whether you're deploying to a static host or a server-rendered platform, the form posts standard <code>FormData</code> to splitforms, so your backend complexity stays at zero. AJAX (vanilla JS)'s ecosystem has strong tooling for UI, but form delivery is a separate concern that splitforms handles independently — Free includes spam filtering and a submissions dashboard; Starter adds email notifications and webhooks.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for AJAX (vanilla JS).

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the quote request fields visible in your AJAX (vanilla JS) UI, and let splitforms handle delivery, spam filtering, storage, and webhooks.

best implementation

Paste the HTML version, then replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY.

The posted payload contains name, email, phone, company, budget, tell us about the project. Required fields are name, email, phone, budget and tell us about the project.

native ajax (vanilla js) reality

Vanilla JS / AJAX forms have been the no-framework default since jQuery's heyday.

use case fit

Insurance leads are speed-to-quote sensitive — the broker that gets the quote out within an hour of inquiry wins the bind. The form captures line of business and renewal date so the quote process starts immediately.

§ 03bInsurance Broker Quote Request Formtemplate-specific playbook

The reason this quote request exists.

Speed-to-quote wins · webhooks into AgencyZoom / EZLynx / Applied / Vertafore.

why it matters

Independent insurance brokers compete with direct carriers (Geico, Progressive, State Farm) and lead-gen platforms (LendingTree Insurance, EverQuote) — the win is speed-to-quote and personal touch. Brokers earn 10-15% commission on auto/home premiums and 50-100%+ on life policies (year-1). The form captures line of business (auto / home / life / business / umbrella / multi-line), current carrier, renewal date, and basic data (driver count / property address / business revenue depending on line). Speed matters: quotes delivered within 4 hours of inquiry close at 35-45%, vs 10-15% for next-day quotes. Webhook into AgencyZoom / EZLynx / Applied Epic so the AMS pre-loads the quote workflow.

route the submission
01

Capture line of business

Required: line(s) of business (auto / home / life / business / umbrella / health / multi-line — multi-select), current carrier, current renewal date, primary contact info.

02

Branch by line

Webhook routes by line — auto/home goes to the P&C team queue, life goes to the life specialist, business / commercial goes to the producer who handles BOPs and umbrellas. Different quote workflows, different carriers.

03

Quote within hours

Webhook to AgencyZoom / EZLynx / Applied Epic — the AMS pre-loads the quote with current carrier and renewal date. Speed-to-quote under 4 hours triples close rate vs next-day. SMS the quote link via Twilio for the highest urgency leads.

§ 03cAJAX (vanilla JS) production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this quote request lives in AJAX (vanilla JS).

These notes come from the AJAX (vanilla JS) platform registry and are rendered on this template page so crawlers see the framework-specific answer without opening a separate guide.

without splitforms

Vanilla JS / AJAX forms have been the no-framework default since jQuery's heyday. Without splitforms, the 'AJAX' part is one fetch line; the operational part is everything else: a backend route, an SMTP provider, a database for submissions, a honeypot or reCAPTCHA, a thank-you page, error handling for HTTP 4xx/5xx, retry logic. For 'JS-only on a static host' setups (Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, S3), there's literally no server to run the route on — historically that meant Formspree, Formspark, Web3Forms, Basin. Splitforms is the modern entry: same shape, better free tier, better spam filtering, and signed webhooks from Starter.

deploy notes

Vanilla JS deploys to any static host — the snippet is HTML + inline <script>, no build step. CSP: if your site sets connect-src 'self', add https://splitforms.com to the directive or fetch is blocked. Browser support: native fetch is in every browser back to Edge 18 — the snippet runs without polyfills on every market-share-relevant browser. The progressive-enhancement variant (Pattern B) keeps the form working when JS fails to load — useful on flaky networks, ad-blocked clients, or for accessibility tools that disable JS.

AJAX (vanilla JS) gotcha

Forgetting e.preventDefault() reloads the page

Without preventDefault, the browser does its own form submission to wherever the form's action attribute points (or the current page) AND your fetch runs. You see a flash, the page reloads, and your handler's effects are lost.

AJAX (vanilla JS) gotcha

FormData includes ALL form fields — even disabled ones get dropped

new FormData(form) skips inputs without a name attribute, skips disabled inputs, skips unchecked checkboxes/radios. If a field doesn't show up in your splitforms inbox, check whether it's disabled at submit time.

AJAX (vanilla JS) gotcha

fetch() doesn't reject on HTTP 4xx/5xx — only network errors

If splitforms returns a 401 (bad key) or 429 (rate limit), fetch resolves successfully. You have to check res.ok or data.success yourself. Wrapping in try/catch only catches network failures, not HTTP errors.

AJAX (vanilla JS) gotcha

Double-click submit fires two requests

Without disabling the button on the first click, a quick double-click sends two POSTs. Both succeed; the user sees one success message; you see two submissions. Always set button.disabled = true at the start of the handler.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — fetch + FormData + status element

Single submit listener. new FormData(form) reads inputs, append the access key, POST. Update an aria-live status <p> with the result. ~25 lines, no library. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

pattern-a.htmlhtml16 lines
01<form id="cf">
02 <input name="email" type="email" required />
03 <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
04 <button type="submit">Send</button>
05 <p id="msg" aria-live="polite"></p>
06</form>
07<script>
08 document.getElementById("cf").addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
09 e.preventDefault();
10 const fd = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
11 fd.append("access_key", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
12 const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
13 const data = await r.json();
14 document.getElementById("msg").textContent = data.success ? "Thanks!" : (data.message || "Try again");
15 });
16</script>
PATTERN B

Pattern B — progressive enhancement (works without JS)

Form has a real action attribute and a redirect hidden field — works with JS disabled (browser POSTs natively, splitforms 302s). When JS is available, the listener intercepts for inline UX. Best of both worlds, no compromise. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

pattern-b.htmlhtml13 lines
01<form id="cf" action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
02 <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
03 <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="/thanks.html" />
04 <input name="email" type="email" required />
05 <button type="submit">Send</button>
06</form>
07<script>
08 document.getElementById("cf").addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
09 e.preventDefault();
10 const r = await fetch(e.target.action, { method: "POST", body: new FormData(e.target) });
11 if ((await r.json()).success) location.href = "/thanks.html";

§ 06Questions9 answered

Quote Request on AJAX (vanilla JS)FAQ.

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

01Does this quote request work on AJAX (vanilla JS)?
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any AJAX (vanilla JS) site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a AJAX (vanilla JS) page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
02How much does the quote request cost on AJAX (vanilla JS)?
Free for 500 submissions per month — no credit card, no trial. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions, and there's a one-time $59 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/mo for 36 months). The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.
03Can I customize the fields?
Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (name, email, phone, company…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
04How does spam protection work on the quote request?
A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a tuned classifier scores the rest. You only see real submissions in your dashboard. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on AJAX (vanilla JS) as on any other framework.
05Can I send the quote request submissions to Slack or Discord?
Yes. Webhooks are available on Starter and above, with auto-formatted payloads for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp (via CallMeBot). Or send raw signed JSON to any URL — Zapier, n8n, your own server. Configure in the splitforms dashboard.
06Will it work on a static AJAX (vanilla JS) site?
Yes — the form posts directly to splitforms from the browser, so no server is involved. Works on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, S3, or any plain Apache host.
07How do I route by line of business?
The line-of-business multi-select drives the webhook branch. Auto/home (P&C) goes to one Slack channel and AMS workflow; life goes to another (often a different licensed producer); commercial / business goes to a third. Most agencies have specialists per line — the form respects that org structure.
08Do I need to mention E&O on the form?
Not on the form itself, but the auto-responder and quote PDFs should reference your agency's E&O coverage and licensing. State insurance departments require disclosure of license numbers in marketing — add to the site footer at minimum, the form's thank-you page ideally.
09Can I integrate with AgencyZoom / EZLynx / Applied Epic / Vertafore?
Yes — webhook the JSON. AgencyZoom and EZLynx accept inbound leads via direct webhooks; Applied Epic and Vertafore (HawkSoft) accept via Zapier or their respective AMS APIs. The quote pre-loads with line, current carrier, and renewal date — saves the producer 5-10 minutes per quote.
