§ 00React + Quote Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why React developers choose splitforms for quote request

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 quote request 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 · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for React.

Use the React / Next.js snippet on this page, keep the quote request 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 name, email, phone, company, budget, tell us about the project. Required fields are name, email, phone, budget and tell us about the project.

native react reality

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

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.

§ 03cReact production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this quote request 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 quote request 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 quote request 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

Quote Request on ReactFAQ.

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

01Does this quote request 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 quote request 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 (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 React 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 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.
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.
