Integration · Zapier
Send form submissions to Zapier to trigger workflows.

splitforms connects your forms to Zapier and moves every submission across the moment it's received — no manual export, no copy-paste.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard, so the lead is captured even if Zapier is unreachable.
Connecting Zapier to your forms is included in your plan — no add-on charge and no per-message billing from splitforms.
Example: form markup
The form posts to https://splitforms.com/api/submit. The Zapierrouting is configured in the splitforms dashboard against the form's access key — there's no client-side Zapier-specific code in your HTML.
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_SPLITFORMS_KEY" />
<input type="hidden" name="_route" value="zapier" />
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="you@example.com" required />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" required></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send to Zapier</button>
</form>How it works
Here's how to send form submissions to Zapier in 6 steps — no code required, and most teams finish in a couple of minutes.
In Zapier, create a new Zap and pick 'Webhooks by Zapier' as the trigger. Choose 'Catch Hook' as the event.
Zapier gives you a unique catch-hook URL. Copy it.
In splitforms, open the form's Webhooks tab and paste the Zapier catch-hook URL.
Submit a test entry. Zapier's trigger step will pick up the sample payload — confirm the field names match what the downstream Zap action expects.
Add an action step in Zapier — Slack message, Sheets row, Mailchimp subscriber, anything from Zapier's app library — and map fields from the splitforms payload.
Turn on the Zap. From here on, every splitforms submission triggers the Zap.
How teams use it
Hook splitforms up to Zapier's Webhooks by Zapier trigger and you can fire off any of Zapier's 6,000+ app actions on every form submission — Sheets, Salesforce, Mailchimp, anything. Prefer a plainer destination? The same form can also send form submissions to email or forward them to any webhook.

Why splitforms
Zapier itself starts at $20/mo for multi-step Zaps; splitforms-side is free. splitforms is free for 500 submissions per month, $5/mo on Pro, or $59 for a 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/month, 36 months of access), with no per-integration add-on fees.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Common questions
Zapier's free plan includes 100 tasks per month with single-step Zaps. For multi-step Zaps (e.g. webhook → enrich → CRM → Slack), you need their Starter plan ($20/mo). For high-volume forms, plan accordingly — splitforms itself runs free up to 500 submissions per month.
Zapier's free and Starter plans poll trigger queues every few minutes. For near-real-time delivery, you need their Professional plan, which polls every minute. If you need sub-minute delivery, use a native splitforms integration (Slack, Discord) or Make.com (which runs immediately) instead.
Zapier has more apps and a friendlier UI; Make.com has cheaper per-task pricing, runs scenarios immediately rather than polling, and offers more advanced control flow. If you're already in one ecosystem, stick with it. If you're starting fresh and price is a concern, Make.com tends to be cheaper.
Yes. splitforms supports multiple webhook URLs per form, so register both the Slack and Zapier URLs on the same form. They are POSTed independently and one failing does not block the other.
The submission still arrives in the splitforms email + dashboard — webhook delivery is independent of lead capture, so you won't lose the lead. The failed push is recorded as the webhook's last status in the dashboard (deliveries aren't auto-retried today), so once Zapier recovers you can confirm new submissions are flowing and re-run anything missed from Zapier's side.
Today, splitforms uses Zapier's generic Webhooks by Zapier trigger. A dedicated splitforms Zapier app — with named triggers per form — is on the roadmap. The webhook-trigger route is fully functional in the meantime.
