§ 00Quick answerHTML · bookings

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Jekyll.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the booking / appointment fields visible in your Jekyll 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, phone, service, preferred date, notes. Required fields are full name, email, phone, service and preferred date.

native jekyll reality

Jekyll can render the form markup, but it still needs a backend endpoint, email delivery, spam checks, and webhook routing before submissions are useful.

Loved the demo — quick question about pricing on the 3-year plan. Are usage limits per project or account-wide?

§ 06Questions6 answered

Booking / Appointment on Jekyll — FAQ.

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

01Does this booking / appointment work on Jekyll?

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

02How much does the booking / appointment cost on Jekyll?

Free for 1,000 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, phone, service…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

04How does spam protection work on the booking / appointment?

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 Jekyll as on any other framework.

05Can I send the booking / appointment submissions to Slack or Discord?

Yes. Webhooks are free on every plan, 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 Jekyll 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.
