QUOTE REQUEST · HTML

Quote Request for HTML

Q: Does this quote request work on HTML?

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

Q: How much does the quote request cost on HTML?

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.

Q: Can 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.

Q: How 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 HTML as on any other framework.

Q: Can 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.

Q: Will it work on a static HTML 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.

Q: How 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.

Q: Do 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.

Q: Can 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.

Lead-capture form for agencies, freelancers, and service businesses. Free for 500 submissions per month — no backend, no SDK, no plugin.

§ 00HTML + Quote Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why HTML developers choose splitforms for quote request

Plain HTML sites have zero built-in form delivery — <code>mailto:</code> links open broken email clients, shared-hosting PHP is vanishing, and setting up Node just for a contact form is overkill. splitforms gives you a production-grade submission pipeline from a single <code><form action></code>. No build step, no framework lock-in, no server-side code. The quote request on this page posts standard <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code> data — the same format browsers have used since 1999 — so it works on every host from GitHub Pages to S3 to Apache.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for HTML.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the quote request fields visible in your HTML 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 html reality

Plain HTML has no built-in way to deliver a form submission anywhere — the spec only covers serializing fields and either GETting or POSTing them to whatever URL you put in action.

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

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.

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.

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.

§ 03cHTML production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this quote request lives in HTML.

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

without splitforms

Plain HTML has no built-in way to deliver a form submission anywhere — the spec only covers serializing fields and either GETting or POSTing them to whatever URL you put in action. Without a backend, the historical fallback is mailto: links (broken on Gmail, Outlook web, and most mobile devices) or PHP on shared hosts (extinct on S3, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify-static). That's the gap splitforms fills: you keep using the same <form action method=POST> HTML you already wrote, and the action points at our endpoint instead of a server you'd otherwise have to operate.

deploy notes

Plain HTML deploys to anywhere that serves files: GitHub Pages, S3 + CloudFront, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, plain Apache/nginx, even Dropbox public folders (RIP). The form posts cross-origin from the browser to splitforms.com, so the host is irrelevant to delivery — but enforce HTTPS on your domain, otherwise the browser blocks the mixed-content POST. On GitHub Pages, toggle 'Enforce HTTPS' under Settings → Pages. On S3, terminate TLS at CloudFront. Lock the splitforms access key to your custom domain in the dashboard so a leaked key from View Source is inert elsewhere.

HTML gotcha

method="GET" turns your form into a URL query string

If you forget method="POST" (or omit it — GET is the HTML default), the browser appends form fields to the URL: ?name=Maya&email=…. Splitforms's endpoint returns 405 Method Not Allowed because it only accepts POST. Always specify the method explicitly.

HTML gotcha

Multiple inputs with the same `name` only send the last value

If you accidentally name two fields email, FormData posts both — but the splitforms dashboard shows the last one. For checkbox groups, use name="interests[]" or unique names per checkbox.

HTML gotcha

File inputs require enctype="multipart/form-data"

Standard forms submit as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which can't carry binary file data. If you add <input type="file">, also add enctype="multipart/form-data" to the form tag — otherwise the file silently doesn't upload.

HTML gotcha

Hidden honeypot field needs to be invisible to bots' DOM parsers

style="display:none" is what splitforms uses, but some sophisticated bots ignore display:none. Stack defenses: display:none + tabindex="-1" + aria-hidden="true" + an off-screen label. Splitforms's classifier catches the rest.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — pure HTML with redirect-on-success

The simplest possible setup: zero JavaScript, full graceful degradation, the browser handles the round-trip. Splitforms 302s to your redirect URL on success, so users always land on a thank-you page even with JavaScript disabled or a flaky network. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

pattern-a.htmlhtml9 lines

01<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
02  <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />

04  <input name="name"  required />

07  <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
08  <button type="submit">Send</button>
09</form>

PATTERN B

Pattern B — HTML with progressive-enhancement fetch

Same HTML, plus a tiny inline <script> that intercepts the submit, posts via fetch, and renders inline status — without a framework. Falls back to native form behaviour if JS fails to load. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.
