§ 00React + Feedback Formplatform-specific integration guide

Why React developers choose splitforms for feedback form

React ships nothing for form delivery — it's a view layer. The historical options are an Express server you stand up just for POST /api/contact, a Vercel serverless function with SMTP wiring, or a third-party library like Formik that still leaves the backend problem unsolved. The feedback form on this page uses <code>useState</code> for submit state and a plain <code>fetch</code> POST to splitforms — no form library, no context provider, no wrapper component. It works in Create React App, Vite, Remix, and every React bundler because it's just standard <code>FormData</code> and the Fetch API.

§ 00Quick answerReact / Next.js · feedback

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for React.

Use the React / Next.js snippet on this page, keep the feedback form fields visible in your React 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 how would you rate your experience?, what can we do better?, email (optional, for follow-up). Required fields are how would you rate your experience? and what can we do better?.

native react reality

React itself ships nothing for form submission — it's a view layer.

use case fit

Customer feedback is the cheapest product research you have. The form captures NPS / CSAT plus an open comment — and routes negative responses to a Slack channel for same-day triage.

§ 03bCustomer Feedback Form (NPS / CSAT / Open-Ended)template-specific playbook

The reason this feedback form exists.

Webhooks into Slack / Linear / Productboard · NPS detractor triage in minutes.

why it matters

Feedback forms cost almost nothing to ship and pay back disproportionately — every NPS detractor (score 0-6) is a conversation that prevents churn, every promoter (9-10) is a referral or testimonial source. The form is simple: 0-10 rating, an optional comment, and an email. The leverage is in the routing: detractors auto-DM your support lead in Slack within minutes, promoters get a 'mind leaving us a G2 / Trustpilot review?' follow-up, passives go into a digest. Survey tools (SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Hotjar) charge $30-100/mo for the same pattern. The form pattern is 30 lines of HTML.

route the submission

Capture rating + comment

Required: 0-10 NPS rating (or 1-5 CSAT for transactional surveys). Optional: comment textarea, email for follow-up. Keep it minimal — long surveys tank completion.

Route by score

Webhook branches on score: 0-6 (detractors) DM Slack support channel; 7-8 (passives) go to weekly digest; 9-10 (promoters) trigger a G2 / Trustpilot review-request email.

Push to your tools

Detractor comments to Linear / Productboard for product triage. Promoter quotes to a 'testimonials' Notion database for marketing. Raw data to a CSV / BigQuery / dbt warehouse for trend analysis.

§ 03cReact production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this feedback form lives in React.

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

without splitforms

React itself ships nothing for form submission — it's a view layer. The historical baseline is one of: an Express/Hono/Fastify server you stand up just for POST /api/contact, a Function-as-a-Service (Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare) that ends up needing the same SMTP wiring, or a third-party form library (React Hook Form, Formik) that handles validation but still leaves you to operate the backend. Vite, CRA, and Remix all default to assuming you have somewhere to POST — they just don't tell you where. Splitforms is the where: a single fetch call, no library install, no useEffect gymnastics, no Express boilerplate.

deploy notes

Vite-built React apps are static — they deploy to any static host (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, S3, GitHub Pages). The splitforms fetch is cross-origin, so configure your CSP to allow connect-src 'self' https://splitforms.com if you have one. Vite reads env vars from .env at build time and only exposes those prefixed VITE_ to the browser bundle. CRA uses REACT_APP_ instead. On Cloudflare Pages, the build output is served from the edge with sub-50ms cold starts; splitforms adds another ~30ms RTT — not noticeable in practice. Lock the access key to your live origin in the splitforms dashboard.

React gotcha

useState + setStatus inside async causes race conditions

If a user double-clicks submit before the first request settles, you'll fire two POSTs. Always disable the button while status === 'loading'. Better still, also use an AbortController to cancel the in-flight request if a re-submit happens.

React gotcha

FormData and controlled inputs can desync

If you control inputs via useState (value={name} onChange={...}), the FormData object you build with new FormData(e.target) won't see your state — it reads the actual DOM. Either use uncontrolled inputs (no value prop) or build the body manually from state.

React gotcha

CSP errors when posting to a third-party endpoint

If your site has a strict Content Security Policy with connect-src 'self', fetch to splitforms.com will be blocked. Add splitforms.com to your connect-src directive: connect-src 'self' https://splitforms.com.

React gotcha

Strict mode + double-mount triggers two submissions in dev

React 18+ strict mode mounts components twice in development to surface side effects. If you put your fetch call in useEffect (don't), you'll see double-submits. Always trigger network calls in event handlers, not effects.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — uncontrolled inputs + native FormData

Skip useState per field. Inputs stay uncontrolled, new FormData(e.currentTarget) reads them at submit time, status state covers idle/loading/ok/err. ~25 lines, no form library. Use the same wiring for the feedback form fields on this page.

pattern-a.jsxjsx17 lines

01import { useState } from "react";
02export default function ContactForm() {
03  const [status, setStatus] = useState("idle");
04  return (
05    <form onSubmit={async (e) => {
06      e.preventDefault(); setStatus("loading");
07      const fd = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
08      fd.append("access_key", import.meta.env.VITE_SPLITFORMS_KEY);
09      const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
10      setStatus((await r.json()).success ? "ok" : "err");
11    }}>
12      <input name="email" type="email" required />
13      <textarea name="message" required />
14      <button disabled={status === "loading"}>Send</button>
15    </form>
16  );
17}

PATTERN B

Pattern B — React Hook Form for validation, splitforms for delivery

RHF handles client-side validation (zod schema, error messages); on valid submit, hand off to splitforms. RHF's handleSubmit callback receives parsed values — repackage as FormData and POST. Use the same wiring for the feedback form fields on this page.

pattern-b.jsxjsx8 lines

01import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
02const { register, handleSubmit, formState } = useForm();
03const onSubmit = async (data) => {
04  const fd = new FormData();
05  Object.entries(data).forEach(([k, v]) => fd.append(k, v));
06  fd.append("access_key", import.meta.env.VITE_SPLITFORMS_KEY);
07  await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
08};

§ 06Questions9 answered

Feedback Form on React — FAQ.

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

01Does this feedback form work on React?

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

02How much does the feedback form cost on React?

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 (how would you rate your experience?, what can we do better?, email (optional, for follow-up)…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

04How does spam protection work on the feedback form?

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 React as on any other framework.

05Can I send the feedback form 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 React 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.

07Should I use NPS or CSAT?

NPS (0-10) for relationship surveys ('how likely are you to recommend us?') sent quarterly or after major moments. CSAT (1-5) for transactional surveys ('how was this support ticket?') sent right after the interaction. Different questions, different cadences, both common patterns.

08Will I get response bias from a public form?

Yes — open-link feedback skews toward people with strong feelings (positive or negative). For statistically representative measurement, send the survey via email to a random sample of users. The public form catches the heat-of-moment feedback you'd otherwise miss.

09Can I push to Slack / Linear / Productboard?

Yes — webhook the JSON. Slack has incoming webhooks (free); Linear and Productboard accept inbound issue creation via Zapier or native APIs. Detractor comments showing up as a Linear issue with the rating prefilled in the title is a powerful workflow.
