Everything your React contact form needs to actually work
Most React contact forms look great but require complex state handling or serverless functions to process submissions. Lucid Forms handles the backend, routing entries to your inbox, Slack, Notion, and more.
Get submissions in your inbox
Every form entry goes straight to your email. No setup, no configuration: it just works from the moment you connect.
No serverless functions to build
Skip writing Next.js API routes or AWS Lambda handlers. Your React frontend remains completely static and serverless. Host on Vercel, Netlify, or AWS.
Spam protection built in
Bots get blocked automatically. Your visitors never see annoying CAPTCHAs, and your inbox stays clean.
Send form data anywhere
Route submissions to Notion, Google Sheets, Slack, or any webhook. Set it up once and every entry flows to the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up React contact forms, spam protection, and framework support.
How do I make my React contact form actually send messages?
React forms need a backend to process and store submissions. With Lucid Forms, you can connect your form using a simple JSX <form action='endpoint' method='POST'> structure, or submit form states using a standard fetch() call. Lucid Forms handles the email routing, autoresponders, and spam filtering.
Do I need custom serverless functions or API routes to process React forms?
No. Lucid Forms eliminates the need to build and maintain custom serverless functions (like Next.js API routes or AWS Lambda handlers). Simply point your form requests to our API, and we will route your data to Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, or your email.
Can I use React hooks (like useState) for async submissions?
Yes! Lucid Forms is fully compatible with stateful forms. You can prevent the default submit action, serialize the form data using new FormData(), send a POST request with fetch(), and handle loading/success UI state changes using useState.
Does Lucid Forms work with meta-frameworks like Next.js, Remix, Astro, and Gatsby?
Yes. Since Lucid Forms relies on a standard HTTP API endpoint, it works perfectly across Next.js (App and Pages router), Remix, Astro, Gatsby, Vite, and single-page React apps.
Does Lucid Forms protect React forms from spam?
Absolutely. All Lucid Forms endpoints come equipped with automated spam filtering. We use silent honeypots, rate limiting, and machine learning models to block bots without forcing human users to solve annoying CAPTCHA challenges.
Does this work with code generated by AI tools like Cursor, Claude, or Lovable?
Yes! Simply prompt your AI development tool (like Cursor, Claude, Lovable, or v0) to build a styled React form component that posts to your unique Lucid Forms URL. It will write the frontend UI, and Lucid Forms will handle the submissions.
