Here is a very quick way to setup a contact form in hugo.

Is it possible to add a contact form to a site? - support - HUGO

I decided to hack this using n8n

# got this from postman!
curl --location --request POST 'https://n8n.santoshsrinivas.com/webhook/4/get-data/webhook' \
--form 'name=Santosh Srinivas' \
--form 'email=santosh@n0c0de.com'

IMPORTANT:

To ensure authorization to work correctly with n8n. I had to do the following:

My final nginx config was:

server {
    server_name *****************; # Replace with your domain

    access_log /var/log/n8n_ss_acc.log;
    error_log /var/log/n8n_ss_err.logs;

    proxy_set_header    Host    $host;
    proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP   $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Host    $host;
    proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Server  $host;
    proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For     $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    location / {
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, OPTIONS";
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Origin, Authorization, Accept";
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true;

        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_read_timeout 43200000;

        proxy_buffering off;
        proxy_cache off;
        chunked_transfer_encoding off;
        # proxy_set_header Connection '';
        
        proxy_pass http://************;
    }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
