§ 00Nuxt + Event RSVPplatform-specific integration guide

Why Nuxt developers choose splitforms for event rsvp

Nuxt 3's auto-imports and server routes make it easy to add form handling, but setting up a server-side submission pipeline (SMTP, spam checks, database, dashboard) is still a significant project. The event rsvp on this page uses <code>useState</code> for submit state and a <code>fetch</code> POST to splitforms — no server route, no Nitro engine dependency, no SMTP configuration. Because the form posts directly from the browser, it works identically on static hosting (Netlify, Cloudflare Pages) and on Nuxt's server-rendered pages.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · events

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Nuxt.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the event rsvp fields visible in your Nuxt 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 your name, email, will you attend?, how many guests are you bringing?, dietary preferences. Required fields are your name, email and will you attend?.

native nuxt reality

Nuxt 3's Nitro server gives you /server/api/contact.post.ts for free — write a handler, parse FormData, send email, store the submission, fan out a webhook.

use case fit

Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket. For a free event, fundraiser, or private gathering, the RSVP form does the same job for $0 — and lives on your own domain.

§ 03bEvent RSVP Form (Public / Private Events)template-specific playbook

The reason this event rsvp exists.

Webhooks into Notion / Airtable / Google Sheets · auto .ics calendar invite.

why it matters

Eventbrite, Splash, and Hopin take 3-7% of every paid ticket and charge subscription fees for the white-label option. For free events (fundraisers, private parties, conferences with sponsor-only revenue, weddings), the platform fees are pure waste. The RSVP form captures attending yes/no, guest count, plus-one names, dietary restrictions, and any custom fields (workshop preference for conferences, song requests for weddings). Webhook to a Notion / Airtable / Google Sheet for the running headcount, plus an automatic confirmation email. Final headcount goes to catering 5-7 days out, same as any platform would deliver.

route the submission
01

Capture attendance and party

Required: attending yes/no, guest count, plus-one names if applicable. Optional: dietary restrictions, song requests, workshop preference, accessibility needs.

02

Update the running list

Webhook to a Notion / Airtable / Google Sheet that the host references. Each RSVP appends a row; conditional formatting highlights special diets. Real-time headcount without spreadsheet work.

03

Confirm via email

Auto-respond with confirmation, event details, and a calendar invite (.ics file). Most guests forget the date once they've RSVP'd — calendar adds reduce no-shows by 30-40%.

§ 03cNuxt production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this event rsvp lives in Nuxt.

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

without splitforms

Nuxt 3's Nitro server gives you /server/api/contact.post.ts for free — write a handler, parse FormData, send email, store the submission, fan out a webhook. The DX is good; the operational cost is the same as any framework: an SMTP integration (Nodemailer + a transactional provider), a Postgres or KV store for submissions, anti-spam logic (honeypot + classifier or hCaptcha), and webhook signing if you want secure delivery to Slack/Discord/Make.com. Each feature is another deploy artifact, another env var, another thing to monitor. Splitforms is the inverse: skip the /server/api route entirely (post directly from the page), or proxy through a one-line Nitro route to keep the key server-side.

deploy notes

Nuxt's Nitro server abstracts away deployment — pick a preset (vercel, netlify, cloudflare-pages, cloudflare-workers, node-server, static, aws-lambda, digital-ocean) and ship. The form's POST is cross-origin to splitforms, so the preset doesn't affect delivery. On Cloudflare Workers (10ms CPU on free tier), strongly prefer Pattern A — Pattern B's $fetch round-trip can blow the budget under load. Use runtimeConfig.public.splitformsKey (client-exposed) for Pattern A and runtimeConfig.splitformsKey (server-only) for Pattern B. Both populate from NUXT_PUBLIC_SPLITFORMS_KEY / NUXT_SPLITFORMS_KEY env vars.

Nuxt gotcha

runtimeConfig.public is required for client exposure — `runtimeConfig.x` is server-only

Nuxt's runtimeConfig has two scopes. Anything under runtimeConfig.public is exposed to the browser bundle; anything else is server-only. If you put splitformsKey directly in runtimeConfig (not .public), useRuntimeConfig().splitformsKey returns undefined client-side.

Nuxt gotcha

useRuntimeConfig() called outside setup() returns empty object

Calling useRuntimeConfig() inside a regular function (not inside <script setup> or a composable) returns {}. Always call it at the top of <script setup> and capture the value, then use config.public.splitformsKey inside event handlers.

Nuxt gotcha

Nitro Cloudflare preset has 10ms CPU time on the free plan

If you proxy the splitforms call through a Nuxt server route (/server/api/contact.post.ts), the fetch round-trip eats your Cloudflare Worker CPU budget. On Cloudflare Pages Free tier, this can fail under load. Skip the proxy: have the form POST directly to splitforms.com.

Nuxt gotcha

Nuxt Content's <ContentDoc> rendering can break form HTML

If you embed the form in a Markdown file rendered by Nuxt Content, MDC syntax may interpret your inputs as MDC components. Wrap the form in <NuxtContent> (or use :component="ContactForm") instead of inline form HTML.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — direct browser POST from `<script setup>`

No server route. Page reads the access key from useRuntimeConfig().public.splitformsKey. Works identically on every Nitro preset. Use the same wiring for the event rsvp fields on this page.

pattern-a.txtvue18 lines
01<script setup>
02import { ref } from "vue";
03const status = ref("idle");
04const config = useRuntimeConfig();
05async function onSubmit(e) {
06 status.value = "loading";
07 const fd = new FormData(e.target);
08 fd.append("access_key", config.public.splitformsKey);
09 const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
10 status.value = (await r.json()).success ? "ok" : "err";
11}
12</script>
13<template>
14 <form @submit.prevent="onSubmit">
15 <input name="email" type="email" required />
16 <button :disabled="status === 'loading'">Send</button>
17 </form>
18</template>
PATTERN B

Pattern B — Nitro server route (key stays server-side)

Page posts to /api/contact (a Nitro route) which appends the access key from runtimeConfig.splitformsKey (private) and proxies to splitforms. Adds a hop but the key never reaches the browser bundle. Use the same wiring for the event rsvp fields on this page.

pattern-b.txtvue11 lines
01// server/api/contact.post.ts
02export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
03 const config = useRuntimeConfig();
04 const parts = await readMultipartFormData(event);
05 const fd = new FormData();
06 for (const p of parts ?? []) p.name && fd.append(p.name, p.data.toString("utf8"));
07 fd.append("access_key", config.splitformsKey);
08 const res = await $fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
09 if (!res.success) throw createError({ statusCode: 400, message: res.message });

§ 06Questions9 answered

Event RSVP on NuxtFAQ.

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

01Does this event rsvp work on Nuxt?
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Nuxt site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Nuxt page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
02How much does the event rsvp cost on Nuxt?
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 (your name, email, will you attend?, how many guests are you bringing?…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
04How does spam protection work on the event rsvp?
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 Nuxt as on any other framework.
05Can I send the event rsvp 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 Nuxt 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.
07Why not just use Eventbrite or Splash?
For free events, both charge subscription fees ($30-100/mo for white-label) plus per-ticket fees. The form costs $0, lives on your own domain (which matters for weddings and brand events), and the data is yours — not licensed inside their platform.
08Can I send a calendar invite (.ics) automatically?
Yes — generate an .ics file and attach to the auto-responder. Webhook to a Zapier / Make automation that crafts the .ics with event title, date, location, and notes. Most email clients render the attachment as 'add to calendar' inline.
09How do I handle plus-ones?
Add 'plus-one yes/no' and a name field that appears conditionally. For weddings, the 'plus-one allowed' is invitation-specific — capture invitation code on the form, and the webhook validates whether that invite includes a plus-one before accepting the second name.
