§ 00Quick answerHTML · marketing

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Svelte.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the lead magnet download fields visible in your Svelte 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 first name, work email, company, what's your role?. Required fields are first name and work email.

native svelte reality

Plain Svelte (without SvelteKit) is a compiler — there's no runtime route handler, no server, no built-in form delivery.

use case fit

Ungated content gets read; gated content builds your list. The lead-magnet form trades the PDF for an email plus 1-2 qualifying questions, so the nurture sequence segments by intent.

§ 03bLead Magnet Download Form (Ebook / PDF / Checklist Gate)template-specific playbook

The reason this lead magnet download exists.

Multi-step (Typeform-style) · webhooks into ConvertKit / HubSpot / Mailchimp.

why it matters

Lead magnets — ebooks, checklists, templates, swipe files, mini-courses — are the workhorse of B2B content marketing. Gated downloads convert at 25-50% of landing-page visitors (vs 1-2% for newsletter signups), but only when the magnet is truly valuable. The form captures email plus 1-2 qualifying questions ('what's your role?', 'what's your team size?') so the nurture sequence segments by intent. Multi-step boosts completion vs a single form. After submit, the user is redirected to the PDF or it's emailed via webhook + auto-responder. Push the email to your ESP segmented by lead-magnet topic — that's how content marketers build audience taxonomies that actually convert downstream.

route the submission

Step 1: capture email

Single email field — frictionless step 1. Once the email is in, momentum carries through later qualifying questions.

Step 2-3: qualify role / team

One or two questions on role and team size. Optional but most users complete because they're invested. Each answer becomes a tag in the ESP for downstream segmentation.

Deliver the magnet

Auto-respond with the PDF link (or redirect to a thank-you page that auto-downloads). Webhook to ConvertKit / HubSpot / Mailchimp into a 'lead-magnet:[topic]' audience for the nurture sequence.

§ 03cSvelte production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this lead magnet download lives in Svelte.

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

without splitforms

Plain Svelte (without SvelteKit) is a compiler — there's no runtime route handler, no server, no built-in form delivery. To ship a working form natively you'd add a separate Node/Bun/Express layer, write the SMTP wiring, and operate it. SvelteKit ships form actions and use:enhance for progressive enhancement, but those just give you ergonomic ways to call your own backend; the actual email-delivery, spam-filtering, and submission-storage are still on you. Svelte 5 runes change reactivity syntax, not the operational model. Splitforms removes the entire 'add a backend' step: the runtime is one URL, hosted by us.

deploy notes

Vite + Svelte (non-Kit) builds a static bundle for any host. SvelteKit deploys via adapters: @sveltejs/adapter-vercel, -netlify, -cloudflare, -node, -static. The form posts client-side regardless of adapter, so the form itself works identically on each. Use VITE_SPLITFORMS_KEY for plain Vite-Svelte projects; SvelteKit uses $env/static/public from PUBLIC_SPLITFORMS_KEY. Svelte islands embedded in Astro hydrate via client:visible — the form's fetch only runs after the user scrolls to it, saving JS execution on initial load. Lock the access key to your domain.

Svelte gotcha

Svelte 5 runes vs Svelte 4 reactive let — pick one

Svelte 5 introduces $state(...) runes; Svelte 4 uses plain let status = 'idle'. They're not interchangeable in the same component. Check package.json for "svelte": "^5" and use runes accordingly. Mixing them throws a confusing 'rune used outside .svelte.js' error.

Svelte gotcha

on:submit|preventDefault becomes onsubmit={(e) => …} in Svelte 5

If you copy a Svelte 4 snippet into a Svelte 5 project, the on:submit|preventDefault modifier syntax is gone. Use onsubmit={(e) => { e.preventDefault(); … }} or migrate to a SvelteKit form action that handles preventDefault for you.

Svelte gotcha

bind:value desyncs FormData if you forget the `name` attribute

FormData reads from name="…" attributes, not Svelte's bind:value. If you bind a value but skip the name attribute, the field is silently dropped from the POST body. Always set both.

Svelte gotcha

Vite-only Svelte projects can't use $env/static/private

$env/static/private is a SvelteKit feature, not a Vite-Svelte one. In a vanilla Vite + Svelte project, use import.meta.env.VITE_SPLITFORMS_KEY (must have the VITE_ prefix or it's undefined client-side).

PATTERN A

Pattern A — Svelte 4 reactive let

Classic Svelte syntax: let status = 'idle', reactive by assignment. Works in every Svelte version with a deprecation warning in Svelte 5. Single-file component, no SvelteKit required. Use the same wiring for the lead magnet download fields on this page.

pattern-a.txtsvelte14 lines

01<script>
02  let status = "idle";
03  async function onSubmit(e) {
04    status = "loading";
05    const fd = new FormData(e.target);
06    fd.append("access_key", import.meta.env.VITE_SPLITFORMS_KEY);
07    const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
08    status = (await r.json()).success ? "ok" : "err";
09  }
10</script>
11<form on:submit|preventDefault={onSubmit}>
12  <input name="email" type="email" required />
13  <button disabled={status === "loading"}>Send</button>
14</form>

PATTERN B

Pattern B — Svelte 5 runes

$state(...) for reactive variables, onsubmit={...} (no on: prefix) for events. Cleaner reactivity model, full TypeScript inference on state. Use the same wiring for the lead magnet download fields on this page.

pattern-b.txtsvelte14 lines

01<script lang="ts">
02  let status = $state<"idle" | "loading" | "ok" | "err">("idle");
03  async function onSubmit(e: SubmitEvent) {
04    e.preventDefault(); status = "loading";
05    const fd = new FormData(e.currentTarget as HTMLFormElement);
06    fd.append("access_key", import.meta.env.VITE_SPLITFORMS_KEY);
07    const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });

§ 06Questions9 answered

Lead Magnet Download on Svelte — FAQ.

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

01Does this lead magnet download work on Svelte?

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

02How much does the lead magnet download cost on Svelte?

Free for 1,000 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 (first name, work email, company, what's your role?…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

04How does spam protection work on the lead magnet download?

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 Svelte as on any other framework.

05Can I send the lead magnet download submissions to Slack or Discord?

Yes. Webhooks are free on every plan, 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 Svelte 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 redirect to the PDF or email it?

Email it. Redirects to a Drive / S3 link mean the user gets the PDF without confirming the email — and the email might be a typo or a temporary address. Email delivery confirms the address by requiring an open. Add a 'didn't get it?' resend button on the thank-you page for the rare typo case.

08Can I integrate with ConvertKit / HubSpot / Mailchimp?

Yes — webhook the JSON into the ESP. ConvertKit's 'tags' map naturally to lead-magnet topics; HubSpot's 'lists' do the same. The nurture sequence triggers on tag-add and the topic-specific drip starts immediately. Most B2B teams use this exact pattern.

09Is gating content GDPR-safe?

If you have EU visitors, the consent for marketing email needs to be explicit and unbundled — meaning a separate checkbox 'I want to receive emails about [topic]' that's not pre-checked and not bundled with 'I accept the download'. Bundled consent has been challenged in EU rulings; unbundled is the safe play.
