How do I reply to the person?

Set the email's reply-to to the submitter's email (FormLoom does this automatically when an `email` field is present).

No — include Alpine from a CDN and you're done.

How do I show success inline?

Toggle an `x-data` property based on the FormLoom JSON response and `x-show` the success message.

Alpine.js contact form

The classic name / email / message form. The default for any site's contact page.

Recommended fields

Field	Type	Required
name	text	Yes
email	email	Yes
message	textarea	Yes

The code

Use `x-data` for local state and `@submit.prevent` to call `fetch`. Toggle a `status` property to show the result.

Alpine.js (no build step)

contact.html

<form
  x-data="{ status: 'idle' }"
  @submit.prevent="
    status = (await (await fetch('https://formloom.vercel.app/api/submit/YOUR_ACCESS_KEY', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', Accept: 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(new FormData($el))),
    })).json()).success ? 'ok' : 'error'

// npm i @formloom/client
import { createForm } from "@formloom/client";

type Contact = {

  email: string;
  message: string;

const form = createForm<Contact>("YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");

// End-to-end typed: TS errors if you send the wrong shape.
const { success, message } = await form.submit({
  name: form.name.value,
  email: form.email.value,
  message: form.message.value,
});

Tips

Add a hidden `redirect` to a thank-you page so visitors get clear feedback.
Set a `subject` field so the notification email is easy to triage.

FAQ

Name, email, and message cover most cases. Keep it short — every extra field lowers completion.
