§ 00Next.js + Quote Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why Next.js developers choose splitforms for quote request

Next.js Server Actions handle the submit side but still leave you wiring SMTP, spam filtering, file uploads, and a dashboard. splitforms replaces all of that with one <code>fetch('/api/submit')</code> call. The quote request works identically in App Router and Pages Router — it's just a <code>FormData</code> POST, no router-specific magic. Because Next.js pre-renders pages, the form HTML is in the DOM before any JavaScript executes, meaning instant Time-to-Interactive. The honeypot field is invisible to users but catches bots that scrape rendered HTML — especially important for Next.js sites where the form HTML is statically generated and predictable.

§ 00Quick answerReact / Next.js · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Next.js.

Use the React / Next.js snippet on this page, keep the quote request fields visible in your Next.js UI, and let splitforms handle delivery, spam filtering, storage, and webhooks.

best implementation

Paste the React / Next.js 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 next.js reality

Without splitforms, you'd write a route handler at app/api/contact/route.ts, parse the FormData, configure SMTP via nodemailer or Resend (~10 minutes of secrets wrangling), add a Postgres or SQLite store for submissions, and then bolt on rate limiting, a honeypot check, an email-classifier or reCAPTCHA, and webhook fan-out.

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
01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

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

without splitforms

Without splitforms, you'd write a route handler at app/api/contact/route.ts, parse the FormData, configure SMTP via nodemailer or Resend (~10 minutes of secrets wrangling), add a Postgres or SQLite store for submissions, and then bolt on rate limiting, a honeypot check, an email-classifier or reCAPTCHA, and webhook fan-out. Server actions made the wiring slightly tidier in Next 14+, but the operational cost stays the same: a function with a runtime, a database, an outbound email provider, an inbox to monitor, and your name on the spam-filter incident report. Splitforms collapses all of that into a POST to a single URL.

deploy notes

On Vercel, the form works on every plan tier — server actions and client components both run inside the same edge/serverless function. Don't put the splitforms fetch inside a Vercel cron or background function (it's user-facing, latency matters). On Netlify with the Next runtime, server actions need the latest @netlify/plugin-nextjs (≥5.6). For self-hosted / Docker: configure output: 'standalone' in next.config.ts and pass SPLITFORMS_KEY as a runtime env var — never bake it into the image. For static export (output: 'export'), use the client-component path only — server actions aren't supported in static mode.

Next.js gotcha

Don't expose your access key client-side without domain locking

Inlining access_key in a "use client" component makes the key visible to anyone who views source. That's fine if you've enabled allowed-domains in your Splitforms dashboard (Settings → Security) — anyone copying the key from your bundle can't use it from a different origin. If you haven't, use a server action so the key stays on the server.

Next.js gotcha

Server actions need `'use server'` and a real form, not fetch

If you submit to a server action via <form action={myAction}>, Next handles the FormData serialization for you. If you call the action manually with fetch, you have to set the right Content-Type and stringify yourself. Pick one path and stick with it — mixing causes 'Server Action invalid' errors.

Next.js gotcha

App Router + Suspense + useSearchParams = static-prerender bailout

If your form reads ?next=/something to support post-submit redirects, useSearchParams forces the page out of static generation. Either wrap the inner component in a <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton/>}> so the wrapper still prerenders, or accept dynamic rendering for the form route only.

Next.js gotcha

Vercel Edge runtime can't read FormData from `multipart/form-data`

If your route handler uses export const runtime = 'edge' and the form posts as multipart (file inputs), it'll silently miss fields. Use application/x-www-form-urlencoded or remove the edge runtime declaration.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — server action (no client JS, key stays server-side)

Form posts to a server action; the action appends the access key from process.env.SPLITFORMS_KEY and proxies to splitforms. Works without JavaScript, key never reaches the bundle. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

pattern-a.tsxtsx10 lines
01// app/actions/contact.ts
02"use server";
03import { redirect } from "next/navigation";
04
05export async function submitContact(formData: FormData) {
06 formData.append("access_key", process.env.SPLITFORMS_KEY!);
07 const res = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: formData });
08 if (!(await res.json()).success) throw new Error("Submission failed");
09 redirect("/thanks");
10}
PATTERN B

Pattern B — client component with fetch and inline status

'use client' component using useState for a 4-state status machine. Lets you show a spinner, inline errors, optimistic resets — at the cost of a hydration boundary. Use NEXT_PUBLIC_SPLITFORMS_KEY and rely on splitforms' domain-locking for safety. Use the same wiring for the quote request fields on this page.

pattern-b.tsxtsx17 lines
01"use client";
02import { useState } from "react";
03export default function ContactForm() {
04 const [s, setS] = useState<"idle" | "loading" | "ok" | "err">("idle");
05 return (
06 <form onSubmit={async (e) => {
07 e.preventDefault(); setS("loading");
08 const fd = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
09 fd.append("access_key", process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SPLITFORMS_KEY!);
10 const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
11 setS((await r.json()).success ? "ok" : "err");
12 }}>
13 <input name="email" type="email" required />

§ 06Questions9 answered

Quote Request on Next.jsFAQ.

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

01Does this quote request work on Next.js?
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Next.js site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Next.js page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
02How much does the quote request cost on Next.js?
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 (name, email, phone, company…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
04How 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 Next.js as on any other framework.
05Can 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.
06Will it work on a static Next.js 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.
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.
