Hi! My understanding is hugo is static website generator. Does it have a feature to add a contact form, so that a visitor has send message from the site? Thanks.

@askar Right now, my understanding, is that Hugo does not handle forms at this time. However, it is possible to add forms to static sites that send the content to a service that handles the submitted content. An example of these services is FormKeep & Formspree. You could also develop your own API …

[image] brettch: You could also develop your own API application to handle the form requests, which could store them, send them to you via email, etc. Thanks. For example, can you please point out?

I used formspree.io in some of my themes. It’s like sending a normal form with POST, where the fields have known names (like subject, message…). Over all, the setup is very easy. Your visitors can send up to a thousand emails each month which should be enough for smaller sites like a blog or portfol…

If you wanted to build it in Sinatra , a little Ruby web library, it would look something like: require 'sinatra' post '/contact_form' do email = params[:email] body = params[:body] # store in database or send email end This is a little bit of pseudo code, but what you would do is setup you…

I’m new here. Been using Hugo for the past few hours. Really enjoying it. Regarding the FORMS question. I have embedded a Google Form, and it looks to be working okay. Would that be an option for most users?

For anyone else searching, Zapier is a good alternative. You can write a standard HTML form, change the action attribute to a Zapier webhook url , and let Zapier process the form data from there (send email, add to mailing list, add to your CRM, etc)

I am testing a combination of MailChimp integrated with MailMunch right now. I have done a subscription optin popover form. It was easy and fast to set up.

I have now built a popover opt-in e-mail subscription form with cookie support and mobile device detection. It’s perfect to use with Zapier hooks and MailChimp for example. It is integrated in my theme: https://github.com/appernetic/hugo-bootstrap-premium How to build a mailing list with…

Hi, I could get the Zapier hook working properly, however i’m redirected to a new page showing the result, it only displays the string below: {“status”: “success”, “attempt”: “5766ccb5-e397-43cf-b49f-c8bcf39e6420”, “id”: “a38f11b8-0df4-4ed3-ab63-aea5749875e4”, “request_id”: “6y6P45skJKmWVMgj”} Th…

I’ll reply to myself because it took me a while, but I found a solution, so it’s definitely possible to display a success message without leaving the page using a bit of JavaScript with jQuery. For those of you interested, here’s the code I used. This is done using the creative theme and the javasc…
