QUOTE REQUEST · HUGO

Quote Request for Hugo

Q: Does this quote request work on Hugo?

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

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

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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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.

§ 00Hugo + Quote Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why Hugo developers choose splitforms for quote request

Hugo's build speed is legendary, but Hugo sites are static HTML — there's no built-in mechanism to process form submissions. The traditional workaround is Netlify Forms (100 subs/month free) or a third-party API. The quote request on this page posts directly from the browser to splitforms with zero Hugo configuration. It works in Hugo themes, shortcodes, and partial templates — just paste the HTML. Because Hugo's output is plain HTML, the form works on any host without a server-side component.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Hugo.

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

Hugo is a static site generator — there's no runtime, no /server/api, no way to handle a form POST without an external service.

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.

§ 03cHugo production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this quote request lives in Hugo.

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

without splitforms

Hugo is a static site generator — there's no runtime, no /server/api, no way to handle a form POST without an external service. The native paths are: (a) a Cloudflare Worker / Lambda / Cloud Run service handling POST /contact and emailing you (~4 hours of setup, ongoing operation), (b) Netlify Forms (Hugo-on-Netlify only, 100/mo free), or (c) a third-party form backend like Formspree, Basin, or Web3Forms. Hugo's templating shines for the form's HTML — {{ partial }}, {{ .Site.Params }} for the access key, {{< shortcode >}} for Markdown reuse — but the delivery layer is always external. Splitforms is the simplest external option that doesn't require a Cloud Run service.

deploy notes

Hugo deploys to any static host: Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, S3, Surge, plain Apache/nginx. The form posts cross-origin so the host is irrelevant. Set splitformsKey in hugo.toml under [params] for private repos; for public repos, build with hugo --param splitformsKey=$SPLITFORMS_KEY and read it from CI env. Hugo's local dev server runs on localhost:1313 — add that to splitforms allowed-domains for testing or use a separate dev key. hugo --minify compresses HTML but doesn't touch attribute values — the form works under minification.

Hugo gotcha

Site.Params lookup is case-sensitive in some Hugo versions

If you set splitformsKey in hugo.toml under [params] but reference it as {{ .Site.Params.SplitformsKey }} in the template, recent Hugo versions still resolve it — but Hugo 0.110 and earlier don't. Use the exact case from your config file.

Hugo gotcha

Markdown content stripping eats inline form HTML

If you put a <form> directly in a Markdown content file, Goldmark's HTML sanitizer strips it. Either set markup.goldmark.renderer.unsafe = true in your config, or wrap the form in a shortcode (recommended): {{< contact-form >}}.

Hugo gotcha

absURL filter on the redirect URL adds a trailing slash you don't want

{{ "thanks/" | absURL }} produces https://yoursite.com/thanks/. Hugo's URL filter normalizes trailing slashes per your uglyURLs config — if your /thanks page lives at /thanks.html (uglyURLs=true), the redirect 404s. Hardcode the URL or set relURL consistently.

Hugo gotcha

Hugo modules / theme overrides require partial in your project, not the theme

If you copy contact-form.html into a vendored theme's layouts/partials/, your changes get overwritten on the next theme update. Always put custom partials in your project's own layouts/partials/ — Hugo's lookup chain prefers project over theme automatically.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — partial in `layouts/partials/contact-form.html`

Reusable partial called from any template with {{ partial "contact-form.html" . }}. Pulls the access key from Site.Params.splitformsKey. Project-level partials override theme partials automatically. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

pattern-a.htmlhtml8 lines

01{{/* layouts/partials/contact-form.html */}}
02<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
03  <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="{{ .Site.Params.splitformsKey }}" />
04  <input type="hidden" name="redirect"   value="{{ "thanks/" | absURL }}" />
05  <input name="email" type="email" required />
06  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
07  <button type="submit">Send</button>
08</form>

PATTERN B

Pattern B — shortcode usable from Markdown content

Save as layouts/shortcodes/contact-form.html. Now writers can drop {{< contact-form >}} (with optional redirect="…" arg) directly into any .md file. Eliminates the need to switch to template editing for one-off forms. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

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.
