Yes — this is the shortest safe path for SvelteKit.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the lead magnet download fields visible in your SvelteKit 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.

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.

§ 03cSvelteKit production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this lead magnet download lives in SvelteKit.

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

without splitforms

SvelteKit's headline form story is form actions — write a default-exported actions object in +page.server.ts, and SvelteKit handles FormData parsing, progressive enhancement (use:enhance), and result passing via the form prop. It's elegant DX — but it doesn't deliver email. You still write the SMTP integration, the spam-filter logic, the database for storing submissions, the webhook fan-out. The result is a form action that's ~80% boilerplate and ~20% your business logic. Splitforms collapses the boilerplate: the form posts directly from the browser to splitforms.com, the form action becomes a thin proxy (or you skip it entirely), and the operational layer disappears.

deploy notes

SvelteKit's adapter system is the deployment story: @sveltejs/adapter-vercel, -netlify, -cloudflare, -cloudflare-workers, -node, -static. The form's POST is cross-origin to splitforms regardless of adapter. On Cloudflare Pages/Workers (free tier: 10ms CPU per request), avoid Pattern B — the form action's fetch round-trip eats your budget; use Pattern A. On Vercel/Netlify, both patterns work with no measurable difference. $env/static/public inlines at build time (use for client-exposed keys); $env/static/private is server-only (use for Pattern B's server-action key). Domain-lock the access key.

SvelteKit gotcha

Form actions need POST and the named action prefix

If you use +page.server.ts form actions, the form's action attribute must be ?/contact (or whatever you named it) — not /api/contact. Forgetting the ?/ prefix routes to a 404 because SvelteKit doesn't recognize it as an action.

SvelteKit gotcha

use:enhance disables your client-side handler if you don't return a callback

use:enhance without arguments uses default progressive-enhancement behavior — which calls the form action and re-renders. If you need custom logic (toast on error, etc.), return a function: use:enhance={({ formData, cancel }) => async ({ result }) => …}.

SvelteKit gotcha

Cloudflare adapter has a 50ms cold start budget — fetch to splitforms eats it

If you use a SvelteKit form action that proxies to splitforms.com via fetch, the round-trip eats your CF Worker time budget on cold start. Skip the proxy: have the form POST directly to splitforms.com from the client (the snippet above does this).

SvelteKit gotcha

$env/static/public vs $env/dynamic/public — pick the right one

$env/static/public is inlined at build time (faster, but key is in the bundle). $env/dynamic/public is read at runtime (slower, but rotatable without rebuild). For the splitforms key, static is fine if you've locked the key to your domain.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — client-side fetch (skip form actions)

Pure +page.svelte with a fetch handler — no +page.server.ts needed. Simpler, works on every adapter without server CPU time, no proxying. Best for Cloudflare Workers / Pages where CPU budget matters. 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.currentTarget);
06    fd.append("access_key", import.meta.env.VITE_PUBLIC_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  }

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 — form action with use:enhance (no-JS support)

Server-side form action proxies to splitforms; key stays in $env/static/private. With use:enhance, the form posts traditionally without JS (full-page reload, splitforms 302 to /thanks) and AJAXes when JS loads. Maximum compatibility, slight CPU cost on the server. Use the same wiring for the lead magnet download fields on this page.

§ 06Questions9 answered

Lead Magnet Download on SvelteKit — FAQ.

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

01Does this lead magnet download work on SvelteKit?

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

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

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 SvelteKit 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 SvelteKit 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.
