Form template · Customer support
Live chat plugins start at $50-100/month per seat. For low-volume support, a structured contact form plus a paid-plan webhook into Linear or Help Scout does the same job for far less.
This template is one of our free HTML form templates. See more form templates by industry.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Customer Support Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Customer Support Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

To add a Customer Support Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Required: category (billing / bug / feature / account / general), urgency, account email, description. Optional: screenshot upload (Pro), order/invoice number for billing.
Webhook branches on category — billing goes to finance Slack; bugs to engineering Linear; feature requests to product Productboard. Each team owns their queue.
Auto-respond with ticket number and SLA promise ('we'll reply within 24 hours on weekdays'). Sets expectations and reduces the 'have you seen this?' follow-up email two days later.
What's included
Support tools (Zendesk, Intercom, Help Scout) start at $20-100/seat/month. For early-stage SaaS handling 10-50 tickets a week, a structured support form that webhooks into Linear / Notion / Slack handles the volume without the subscription. The form captures ticket category (billing / bug / feature request / account access / general), urgency (blocking / high / medium / low), account email, and description. Routing the categories to different Slack channels or Linear teams turns the form into a triage layer. As you scale, switch the webhook target to Zendesk or Intercom and the form stays — same UX, different backend. SLA tracking still works because submission timestamps are stored. Webhooks into Linear / Notion / Help Scout / Zendesk · category-based routing.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

How SplitForms works
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Point your form to your unique SplitForms endpoint. That's it.

We instantly capture and organize every submission in your inbox.

Send data to email, spreadsheets, CRMs, webhooks, and 7,000+ apps.

No credit card required. Set up in under 60 seconds.
Connect & automate
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions
When ticket volume crosses ~50/week, the dedicated tool's UX (queue management, canned responses, customer history) starts paying back the subscription. Below that, webhooks into Linear or Slack handle volume cheaper. Switch when you outgrow the simpler tools, not before.
splitforms timestamps every submission. A daily Zapier / Make automation flags any unresponded submission older than your SLA threshold and pings the owning team in Slack. Crude but effective for small teams. At scale, switch to a tool that tracks time-to-first-response natively.
Yes — webhook the JSON. Linear and Notion both accept issue / database creation via API. Productboard accepts feature requests via Zapier. Routing categories to the right tool (bugs to Linear, features to Productboard) means each gets triaged in the place that team works.
Phone support requires staff on shift; live chat is the same. The form is async — best for product / SaaS where most issues aren't time-critical. For e-commerce or services where customers need immediate answers, layer a chat widget (Crisp, Intercom) on top, and use the form for after-hours overflow.
