§ 00Jekyll + Consultation Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why Jekyll developers choose splitforms for consultation request

Jekyll generates static HTML for GitHub Pages, and GitHub Pages doesn't process form submissions. GitHub's own recommendation is to use a third-party service — the consultation request on this page is that service. No Jekyll plugin, no Ruby code, no build step change. Paste the form into a Jekyll layout or include, and submissions go to splitforms for email, spam filtering, webhooks, and dashboard storage. Your Jekyll build stays fast and simple.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Jekyll.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the consultation request 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, topic, what do you need help with?. Required fields are full name, email, phone, topic and what do you need help with?.

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.

Generate, embed, receive.

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

STEP 01GENERATE

Generate a free splitforms key

Create your form

key=sk_live_••••••••

STEP 02EMBED

Paste the consultation request into your Jekyll project

Drop the form snippet into a Jekyll 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.

§ 06Questions6 answered

Consultation Request on Jekyll — FAQ.

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

01Does this consultation request 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 splitforms dashboard.

02How much does the consultation request cost on Jekyll?

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, phone, topic…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

04How does spam protection work on the consultation 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 Jekyll as on any other framework.

05Can I send the consultation 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 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.
