§ 00Framer + Job Applicationplatform-specific integration guide

Why Framer developers choose splitforms for job application

Framer's code component feature lets you drop custom HTML directly into your design, which is where this job application fits. Framer's built-in form actions are limited — they forward to a Framer webhook that lacks email delivery, spam filtering, and a dashboard. The job application on this page bypasses Framer's form system entirely: paste it into a code component, and submissions go straight to splitforms for email, webhooks, spam filtering, and dashboard storage. Framer handles the design; splitforms handles the delivery.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · hr

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Framer.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the job application fields visible in your Framer 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, email, position you're applying for, linkedin / portfolio url, resume url, cover letter. Required fields are full name, email, position you're applying for and cover letter.

native framer reality

Framer's built-in form widget delivers submissions to a single email address (configured per form) with no dashboard for managing submissions, no webhooks below the Pro plan, and no spam filtering beyond Framer's basic bot detection.

use case fit

Most career-page application forms hide behind Greenhouse / Lever, which charge $200+/month per role. For a startup hiring 1-3 roles a year, a self-hosted form with resume upload does the job.

§ 03Setup3 steps · 60 seconds · zero config

Generate, embed, receive.

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

STEP 01GENERATE

Generate a free splitforms key

Sign in at splitforms.com — your access key is created instantly. No credit card, no setup wizard, no SDK to install.

Create your form
key=sk_live_••••••••
STEP 02EMBED

Paste the job application into your Framer project

Drop the form snippet into a Framer page, component, or layout. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard. The form action is a hard-coded URL — no env vars or build-time wiring needed.

Loved the demo — quick question about pricing on the 3-year plan. Are usage limits per project or account-wide?
§ 03bJob Application Form (Careers Page)template-specific playbook

The reason this job application exists.

Resume upload (Pro) · webhooks into Notion / Airtable / Greenhouse.

why it matters

ATS subscriptions (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) start at $6-15k/year for a small team — a lot of money for a startup that hires 2 engineers a year. A self-hosted application form on the careers page handles the inbound flow. The form captures name, email, role applying for, resume (PDF upload, often required), LinkedIn / portfolio URL, and a brief 'why us' textarea. The submission lands in the hiring manager's inbox or webhooks into Notion / Airtable / a Slack channel for triage. As soon as you're past 5 simultaneous open roles, an ATS pays off — until then, this works.

route the submission
01

Capture role and basics

Required: name, email, role (dropdown of open positions), resume upload (PDF/DOCX). Optional: LinkedIn URL, portfolio URL, cover-letter textarea, location / timezone.

02

Receive resume upload

Storage-backed file upload keeps the resume connected to the submission. Attachments cap at 10 MB per file; resume PDFs are usually 100-500 KB, so headroom is generous.

03

Webhook to Notion / Airtable

Push the application as a row in a Notion / Airtable database (one per role). Hiring team triages from there — moves to interview stage, archives obvious passes, comments inline. Cheaper than Greenhouse for low-volume hiring.

§ 03cFramer production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this job application lives in Framer.

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

without splitforms

Framer's built-in form widget delivers submissions to a single email address (configured per form) with no dashboard for managing submissions, no webhooks below the Pro plan, and no spam filtering beyond Framer's basic bot detection. CMS-driven Framer forms inherit the same constraints. The native flow works for a portfolio's contact form; it falls apart for any setup that needs Slack/Discord notifications, multiple recipients, CSV export, or tagged form-name routing. Replacing it means writing a Code Component — Framer's mechanism for embedding custom React. That's the pattern splitforms uses: a Code Component with the access key as a property control, dropped onto the canvas like a native widget.

deploy notes

Framer publishes sites to its own CDN — there's no Vercel/Netlify config to manage. The form posts cross-origin to splitforms regardless. Framer's published sites have a default Content Security Policy that may block connect-src to splitforms.com on some plans; if submissions silently fail, add <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="connect-src https://splitforms.com"> via Site Settings → Custom Code → Head HTML. Lock the access key to BOTH your *.framer.app preview URL AND your custom domain — Framer serves both with different Origin headers. Framer's preview environment runs Code Components live, so you can test the form before publishing.

Framer gotcha

addPropertyControls must be the LAST statement in the file

Framer reads property controls only if addPropertyControls(Component, {...}) is called after the component is exported. If you put it before the export or wrap it in a conditional, the access-key control disappears from the right panel and you can't set the key visually.

Framer gotcha

Framer's canvas re-renders the component on every prop change

Editing the access key in the right panel re-mounts the form mid-edit. If a user is testing the form when you change the key, their status === 'loading' state resets to 'idle' visually but the in-flight fetch still completes. Not a bug in production — only an editor quirk.

Framer gotcha

Framer's published page CSP blocks splitforms.com unless you set it

Framer's published sites have a default Content Security Policy that allows known integrations. Splitforms isn't on the default allowlist — you may need to add connect-src https://splitforms.com via Framer's Site Settings → Custom Code → Head HTML, inside a <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="…"> tag.

Framer gotcha

Code Components don't get Framer's font system by default

If you use style={{ fontFamily: '...' }} in a Code Component, you have to import the font manually — Framer's site fonts only auto-apply to canvas-built elements. Use font-family: inherit to inherit from the parent frame.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — Code Component with property control

Paste into Framer's Code Components panel. The access key becomes a property in the right-side inspector — designers swap keys per page or per environment without touching code. Use the same wiring for the job application fields on this page.

pattern-a.tsxtsx19 lines
01// ContactForm.tsx (Framer Code Component)
02import { useState } from "react";
03import { addPropertyControls, ControlType } from "framer";
04export default function ContactForm({ accessKey = "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" }) {
05 const [status, setStatus] = useState<"idle" | "loading" | "ok" | "err">("idle");
06 return (
07 <form onSubmit={async (e) => {
08 e.preventDefault(); setStatus("loading");
09 const fd = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
10 fd.append("access_key", accessKey);
11 const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
12 setStatus((await r.json()).success ? "ok" : "err");
13 }} style={{ display: "grid", gap: 12 }}>
14 <input name="email" type="email" required />
15 <button disabled={status === "loading"}>Send</button>
16 </form>
17 );
18}
19addPropertyControls(ContactForm, { accessKey: { type: ControlType.String } });
PATTERN B

Pattern B — Framer override (apply to existing canvas form)

If you already designed a form on the canvas with Framer's native form widget, an override can intercept its submit and re-route to splitforms. Useful when you want to keep the canvas-built design but swap the backend. Use the same wiring for the job application fields on this page.

pattern-b.tsxtsx12 lines
01// SplitformsOverride.tsx
02import type { ComponentType } from "react";
03export function withSplitforms(Component): ComponentType {
04 return (props) => (
05 <Component {...props} onSubmit={async (e) => {
06 e.preventDefault();
07 const fd = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
08 fd.append("access_key", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
09 await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
10 }} />
11 );

§ 06Questions9 answered

Job Application on FramerFAQ.

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

01Does this job application work on Framer?
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Framer site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Framer page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
02How much does the job application cost on Framer?
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, email, position you're applying for, linkedin / portfolio url…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
04How does spam protection work on the job application?
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 Framer as on any other framework.
05Can I send the job application 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 Framer 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.
07Is this EEOC / OFCCP compliant?
If you're under the regulated thresholds (15 employees for most EEOC requirements; federal contractor for OFCCP), basic forms are fine. If you're regulated, you need to collect voluntary self-ID demographics on a separate page (race, gender, veteran, disability) with explicit non-discrimination language. Your employment lawyer should review the final flow.
08How do I avoid resume-spam from staffing agencies?
Hidden honeypot field plus splitforms' spam classifier catches most. For persistent agency spam, add a 'are you applying directly or through an agency?' radio — direct applications get the role-specific reply; agency applications get a 'we don't accept third-party submissions' auto-response.
09Should I require a cover letter?
For senior or specialised roles, yes — quality goes up with the friction. For volume hiring (support, ops, junior eng), no — required cover letters drop application count 60-80% and the cover-letter quality is mostly noise anyway. Tune by role.
