What this form is
This support request form gives customers a direct way to report an issue from a marketing site, docs page, or product help page. It captures contact details, priority, subject, and the problem description.
It is not a replacement for a full help desk once volume is high. It is the clean first version that gets support requests to the right place without building a ticket system.
When to use it
- You need a public support form before you have a support portal.
- You want priority and subject fields so incoming requests are easier to triage.
- You want to avoid asking users to email a generic address with missing context.
- You need a form that works on a static documentation or product page.
Fields explained
name and email use browser autocomplete because support forms should be fast. A frustrated customer should not have to fight basic contact fields.
priority is a select field. It gives your team a signal without trusting it as an absolute truth.
subject is a normal field named subject. In html.contact, that name is useful because it can also become the notification subject when submitted.
message is required because support requests need enough detail to act on. The label asks “What happened?” because that gets better answers than a vague “Message” label.
Why it works well with html.contact
html.contact can collect these requests from a public page and send them to your configured recipients. You do not need to expose routing fields in the HTML, and you can change recipients in the dashboard instead of editing the site.
