Send Email from a Static HTML

I found some solutions, generally you would need a server but there are some free services we can use.

https://formspree.io/

ManuelVargas1251 commented 3 years ago

using formspree.io, we can edit the contact form to your custom fields. and their code already has the info to send the email through their service.

What about form action="mailto:...." easy peasy

or maybe better email with php

sazdg commented 3 years ago

from your suggestion

sazdg commented 3 years ago

basically all I need is that action code

ManuelVargas1251 commented 3 years ago

For the first option you mention, mailto will open gmail and you will have to write your own email; there is no automation. Only opens mail client (gmail/outlook/any).

For the second option, we need a php server to run those requests which we currently do not have. unless we have server, we cannot use php :/

okay, I am creating an account on formspree to begin testing!

sazdg commented 3 years ago

how fast lol I like your idea but I will try by myself php just to review some php code

here's the catch :(

ManuelVargas1251 commented 3 years ago

yes there is a catch, custom forms require you to update also.

alternative site but similar situation: https://formkeep.com/#pricing

ManuelVargas1251 commented 3 years ago

ok I was able to test locally.

and I received the email:

ManuelVargas1251 commented 3 years ago

the code I used is below:

     <form action="https://formspree.io/f/mknpadkz" method="POST">
      <input type="text" name="name">
      <input type="email" name="_replyto">
      <input type="submit" value="Send">
    </form>

At least I can write the code but it will never works on github. And I can add a button "mailto:ecc...."

ManuelVargas1251 commented 3 years ago

In order to do the PHP site, we would need to also host the files in the php server by deploying in github. Using heroku is easy as it has integration for github but this will take more time to develop.
