How to POST the data from a modal form of Bootstrap?

You need to handle it via ajax submit.

Something like this:

$(function(){
    $('#subscribe-email-form').on('submit', function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            url: url, //this is the submit URL
            type: 'GET', //or POST
            data: $('#subscribe-email-form').serialize(),
            success: function(data){
                 alert('successfully submitted')
            }
        });
    });
});

A better way would be to use a django form, and then render the following snippet:

<form>
    <div class="modal-body">
        <input type="email" placeholder="email"/>
        <p>This service will notify you by email should any issue arise that affects your plivo service.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" class="btn"/>
    </div>
</form>

via the context - example : {{form}}.
