§ 00Netlify + Consultation Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why Netlify developers choose splitforms for consultation request

Netlify Forms are the obvious choice for Netlify-hosted sites, but they're limited to 100 submissions/month on the free plan, 1,000 on paid, and they don't include webhook delivery, CC recipients, or AI spam filtering on any tier. The consultation request on this page works with or without Netlify Forms — it posts directly to splitforms, bypassing Netlify's form handler. You keep Netlify for hosting, CDN, and deploys while splitforms handles the form pipeline independently. This also means your form works if you migrate to Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or any other host.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Netlify.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the consultation request fields visible in your Netlify 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 netlify reality

Netlify 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

Consultation Request on Netlify — FAQ.

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

01Does this consultation request work on Netlify?

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

02How much does the consultation request cost on Netlify?

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 Netlify 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 Netlify 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.
