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).

Which template language do I use?

Any — the form is plain HTML, so Nunjucks, Liquid, or Markdown all work.

Can I get an inline success message?

Yes — add the small AJAX script variant for a no-reload success state.

Eleventy 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

The code

Add the HTML form to a template or include. Optionally enhance with a small script for an inline success state.

Plain HTML (no JavaScript)

contact.html

<form action="https://formloom.vercel.app/api/submit/YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" method="POST">
  <label>
    Name
    <input type="text" name="name" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" name="email" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Message
    <textarea name="message" required placeholder="How can we help?"></textarea>
  </label>
  <!-- honeypot: bots fill this, humans don't see it -->
  <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

AJAX fetch (vanilla JS)

contact.html

<form id="contact-form">
  <label>
    Name
    <input type="text" name="name" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" name="email" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Message
    <textarea name="message" required placeholder="How can we help?"></textarea>
  </label>
  <!-- honeypot: bots fill this, humans don't see it -->
  <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

<script>
const form = document.getElementById("contact-form");
form.addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  const res = 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(form))),
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  if (data.success) {
    form.reset();
    alert("Thanks — we got your message.");
  } else {
    alert(data.message || "Something went wrong.");
  }
});
</script>

@formloom/client (typed SDK)

submit.ts

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

type Contact = {
  name: string;
  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.
