Quote Request for React
Lead-capture form for agencies, freelancers, and service businesses. Free for 500 submissions per month — no backend, no SDK, no plugin.
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.
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.
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.
React itself ships nothing for form submission — it's a view layer.
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.

The reason this quote request exists.
Speed-to-quote wins · webhooks into AgencyZoom / EZLynx / Applied / Vertafore.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 — 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 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.
What every field actually does.
Each field below ships in the quote request template — rename, remove, or add your own. Splitforms accepts any name you POST.
Name
Greeting + dashboard label so submissions don't all read 'anonymous'.
Reply-to address — splitforms wires this so hitting reply goes back to the sender.
Phone
Faster qualification — phone leads convert ~3× higher than email-only on B2B forms.
Company
Lets you sort enterprise vs SMB inquiries before you reply.
Budget
Filters tire-kickers from real buyers without a sales call.
