The code

Define an inline `"use server"` action that forwards the FormData to your FormLoom endpoint. No client JS required — it works with JavaScript disabled and progressively enhances. For richer UIs, pair it with `useActionState` for pending/error states.

Server Action (recommended)
app/contact/page.tsx
// app/contact/page.tsx — Next.js 15 App Router, Server Action
export default function ContactPage() {
  async function submit(formData: FormData) {
    "use server";
    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(formData)),
    });
    // FormLoom scores spam, stores the row, and emails you — no backend to wire.
    return res.json();
  }

  return (
    <form action={submit}>
      <label>
        Email
        <input type="email" name="email" />
      </label>
      <label>
        Summary
        <input type="text" name="summary" required />
      </label>
      <label>
        Steps to reproduce
        <textarea name="steps" required></textarea>
      </label>
      <label>
        Severity
        <select name="severity">
          <option value="Cosmetic">Cosmetic</option>
          <option value="Minor">Minor</option>
          <option value="Major">Major</option>
          <option value="Critical">Critical</option>
        </select>
      </label>
      <label>
        Screenshot
        <input type="file" name="screenshot" />
      </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>
  );
}
React component (client)
ContactForm.tsx
// ContactForm.tsx — React (works in Vite, CRA, Next 'use client')
"use client";
import { useState } from "react";

export function ContactForm() {
  const [status, setStatus] = useState<"idle" | "ok" | "error">("idle");

  async function onSubmit(e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) {
    e.preventDefault();
    const form = e.currentTarget;
    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))),
    });
    setStatus((await res.json()).success ? "ok" : "error");
    if (status !== "error") form.reset();
  }

  if (status === "ok") return <p>Thanks — we got your message.</p>;
  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
      <label>
        Email
        <input type="email" name="email" />

Tips

  • Allow a screenshot upload to speed up triage.
  • Forward to GitHub Issues or Linear via a webhook.

FAQ

Yes — add a webhook that forwards the report JSON to a function that opens an issue.
