Contact Form

We can put our email address on social links so that readers can contact us. Unfortunately, emails will be more or less treated as spam and even filtered. Therefore, we bring a feature called contact form.

Prerequisites

We need to create a contact page called contact/index.md in the content directory, so that we can access the contact form.

1+++
2title = "Contact Us"
3layout = "contact"
4+++

Once created, the link will appear in the profile widget.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
`contact`	Object	-
`contact.endpoint`	String	-	See also Backends .
`contact.file`	Boolean	`false`	Enable/Disable file upload.
`contact.fileField`	String	-	The name of file field.

Backends

It is designed to be compatible with most backends, such as Netlify form , Getform and Formspree .

Netlify

Netlify form are supported out of box, therefore, you don’t need to specify the contact.endpoint parameter.

The demo site uses Getform instead of Netlify form, because the Netlify will upgrade your form level automatically if you exceed the limit of current plan, which will lead to additional expenses.

Please make sure the contact.endpoint parameter is empty if you intend to use Netlify form.

Others

Let’s take Getform as an example:

1[contact]
2  endpoint = "YOUR_ENDPOINT"
