Contact form on static website

[ashawe]

How will a contact form on a static website work?

We either have to create a server-side code to handle the form request and write some AJAX for the client side or we've to deploy a dynamic page on the server which the form can submit request too.

I noticed we're using tawk.to for sending messages. So is there any way in which we can use that form in conjunction with that plugin or maybe replace the form with the plugin?

Yes, we can connect the form with the backend via ajax call.
I think we should also put the form on the website.
What do you think?

I think we should remove the default contact form and replace it with tawk.to's form so we don't need to write additional js and server side code ( plus the database ) to handle the contact form.

@ashawe Take a look at this : https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-form-send-email-via-google-script-without-server . I used this method to make my contact form work on my static website.
