§ 00Carrd + Demo Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why Carrd developers choose splitforms for demo request

Carrd's embed element lets you inject custom HTML into your one-page site — perfect for a lightweight contact form. Carrd Pro includes a native form feature, but it caps submissions at 100/month on paid plans and lacks webhook delivery. The demo request on this page drops into a Carrd embed, posts to splitforms, and gives you 500 dashboard submissions/month free; Starter adds Slack/Discord notifications. No Carrd Pro upgrade needed for the form to work. The HTML is self-contained — Carrd's minimal runtime handles the display, splitforms handles the backend.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Carrd.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the demo request fields visible in your Carrd 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 full name, work email, phone, company, your role, team size, what are you trying to solve?. Required fields are full name, work email, company, your role, team size and what are you trying to solve?.

native carrd reality

use case fit

Demo requests are the highest-intent leads a SaaS gets. The form qualifies on company size and use case so the AE walks into the demo prepared, not improvising.

§ 03bSaaS Demo Request Form (Sales Lead Capture)template-specific playbook

The reason this demo request exists.

Webhooks into HubSpot / Salesforce / Close · Chili Piper / Calendly routing.

why it matters

Demo requests cost the SaaS team real money — an AE spends 30-45 minutes on each call. Unqualified demos burn money. The form qualifies on company size, role, use case, current tools, and timeline. ICP-fit leads (right company size, right industry, right pain point) get the AE calendar slot; off-ICP get nurtured via email. The qualifying data also pre-loads the CRM so the AE walks in knowing the prospect's stack and use case — demo close rates climb 30-50% on prepared calls vs cold ones. Most B2B SaaS uses Calendly / Chili Piper for the booking step; the form is the gating layer in front of the calendar.

route the submission

Capture firmographic data

Required: name, work email, company, role, team size, use case (1-3 sentences). Optional: current tools, timeline, budget range.

Route by ICP fit

Webhook branches on company size and role — ICP-fit leads (e.g. 50+ team, ops/eng decision-maker) book the AE calendar instantly via Chili Piper / Calendly. Off-ICP get nurtured via email instead of burning AE time.

Push to CRM

Webhook to HubSpot / Salesforce / Close / Pipedrive with all qualifying fields prefilled. AE arrives at the demo prepared with the prospect's stack and use case in their notes.

§ 03cCarrd production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this demo request lives in Carrd.

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

without splitforms

Carrd's Form widget requires Pro Standard ($19/year) just to exist on the page, and even then it doesn't deliver email itself — the form 'works' by posting to an external integration: Mailchimp, SendGrid, Basin, Formspree, etc. So the question isn't 'native vs splitforms' but 'which third-party backend do you wire up?'. Mailchimp is overkill (and surprisingly expensive once your list grows); Basin and Formspree limit free submissions; SendGrid requires DNS verification. Splitforms is the same shape of integration (Type: Custom, Method: POST, Action: a URL) at a better free tier and with built-in spam filtering. Carrd's Form widget settings don't change.

deploy notes

Carrd publishes to a *.carrd.co subdomain on every plan; Pro Standard adds a custom domain. The form posts to splitforms from the browser, so neither subdomain nor custom domain matters for delivery. Lock the splitforms access key to BOTH the *.carrd.co URL and your custom domain — Carrd serves the same content under both, with different Origin headers. Carrd's Designer preview never actually POSTs; you have to publish (free) and submit from the live URL to test. Embed elements bypass Carrd's CSS, so the form will look browser-default unless you inline styles.

Carrd gotcha

Pro Standard plan still required for Custom form Type

Carrd's free plan and Pro Lite don't expose the Form widget at all. Pro Standard ($19/yr) unlocks the Form widget with Type → Custom. Splitforms doesn't change Carrd's plan requirements — it just fills in the backend that Carrd doesn't ship.

Carrd gotcha

Embed element forms don't inherit Carrd's site styles

If you paste raw HTML via an Embed element, your form will look like browser-default — no Carrd typography, no site colors. Use the native Form widget for styling, then add a hidden access_key field via Custom fields.

Carrd gotcha

Carrd's success message + splitforms redirect can fight each other

Carrd's Form widget has a built-in success message that shows on 2xx response. If you also set a redirect field in the form, the user sees the success blip then redirects mid-message. Pick one: redirect via splitforms OR Carrd's success text.

Carrd gotcha

The form widget's Field labels don't match input names by default

Carrd uses friendly labels like 'Your name', but the actual input name attribute is name-1 or similar unless you set Custom in the field settings. Set the Custom name to name, email, message — splitforms uses the input names as keys in your inbox.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — native Form widget set to Custom type

In the Form widget's settings, set Type to Custom, Method to POST, Action to the splitforms URL. Add a hidden field access_key via the Custom Fields tab. Carrd handles the styling and mobile layout; splitforms handles delivery. Use the same wiring for the demo request fields on this page.

07  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
08</form>

PATTERN B

Pattern B — Embed element with full HTML control

Drop an Embed element into a Carrd section and paste raw HTML. Loses Carrd's auto-styling but lets you add a honeypot, multi-field validation, or custom redirect. Useful for waitlist or job-application forms that exceed the Form widget's capability. Use the same wiring for the demo request fields on this page.

§ 06Questions9 answered

Demo Request on Carrd — FAQ.

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

01Does this demo request work on Carrd?

Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Carrd site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Carrd page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.

02How much does the demo request cost on Carrd?

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 (full name, work email, phone, company…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

04How does spam protection work on the demo 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 Carrd as on any other framework.

05Can I send the demo 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 Carrd 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.

07Should I require a work email?

Yes — block free email domains (gmail / yahoo / hotmail) on the email field. Free-email demos are 80% tire-kickers; work email is a basic ICP filter. Use a regex pattern or a real-time validator like ZeroBounce / Hunter to enforce.

08Can I integrate with Chili Piper / Calendly?

Yes — Chili Piper natively pulls form data and routes to the right AE based on territory / industry / company size. Calendly for Sales Teams supports round-robin routing too. Webhook the qualified lead to the booker; the unqualified ones bypass the calendar.

09How do I handle off-ICP demo requests?

Auto-respond with self-serve resources — a recorded demo, free trial signup, pricing page link, customer case studies. Add to a long-term nurture sequence. Don't burn AE time but don't lose the lead either.
