// Drop into a PHP page. Receives a form POST and proxies it to splitforms.com.
// Useful when you want to add server-side validation or rate limiting.

    // submits. It only exists if the page with your form also has
    //   <form data-sf-key="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" ...>   (this proxy adds access_key, so the form has none)
    //   <script src="https://splitforms.com/embed.js" async></script>

WordPress + Booking / Appointment

Built for WordPress developers who hate operating a backend.

WordPress contact form plugins (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms) work but add database bloat, update fatigue, and a monthly subscription for features like webhook delivery or advanced spam controls. The booking / appointment on this page drops into a Custom HTML block — no PHP, no plugin activation, no settings page to configure. Every field POSTs to splitforms as standard form data, so your WordPress admin stays clean. You keep using WordPress for content management and page building while splitforms handles the form pipeline.

  • 500 form submissions total, free to start
  • Unlimited forms on every plan, including Free
  • Spam protection — honeypot plus a rule-based filter

Booking / Appointment fields

What every field actually does.

The posted payload contains full name, email, phone, service, preferred date, notes. Required fields are full name, email, phone, service and preferred date. Rename, remove, or add your own — splitforms accepts any name you POST.

  • Full name — Greeting + dashboard label so submissions don't all read 'anonymous'.
  • Email — 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.

WordPress production notes

What changes when this booking / appointment lives in WordPress.

WordPress core has no contact-form feature, so every contact form on a WP site is either a plugin (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Forminator, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms) or custom PHP in a theme. Plugins add their own PHP, scripts and often database tables, and many sites end up adding an SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP on top because PHP mail() on shared hosting often lands in spam. Anti-spam is usually another add-on, such as Akismet or a CAPTCHA plugin. Splitforms replaces the plugin: a tag in a Custom HTML block, pointing at our endpoint, with a hidden access_key field. No plugin, no extra DB tables, no SMTP setup.

  • WordPress wpautop() mangles your form HTML in posts
  • Caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache) cache the form page itself
  • Theme or optimization JavaScript can interfere with the submit

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

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.

Common questions

Booking / Appointment on WordPress — answered.

View all FAQs
Does this booking / appointment work on WordPress?

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

How much does the booking / appointment cost on WordPress?

Free for 500 submissions — no credit card, no time limit. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions a month, and Annual is $49/year for 15,000 submissions a month. The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.

Can I customize the fields?

Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (full name, email, phone, service…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

How does spam protection work on the booking / appointment?

A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a rule-based filter scores the rest; anything that looks like spam goes to a separate Spam tab instead of your inbox. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on WordPress as on any other framework.

Can I send the booking / appointment submissions to Slack or Discord?

Yes. Webhooks are available on paid plans, 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.

Will it work on a static WordPress 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.
