Creating a pop-up form that captures user information and redirects them to a "Thank you" page with a button linked to the original event URL is a common requirement for many websites. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this in Webflow:

  1. Create the pop-up form: Start by designing and building your pop-up form using Webflow's built-in form elements. You can add form fields like name, email, and any other required information you want to capture from the user. Style the form to match your website's design and ensure it's easily accessible to the user.

  2. Add a form submission interaction: Once the form is designed, you'll need to add an interaction to trigger the submission action. Select the form element and go to the Interactions panel. Add a new interaction that listens for the form submission event.

  3. Configure the form submission action: In the interaction settings, choose the desired action when the form is submitted. In this case, you want to redirect the user to a "Thank you" page. Select the option to "Navigate to Page" and choose the appropriate page from the dropdown.

  4. Pass user data to the "Thank you" page: To ensure that the user's data is available on the "Thank you" page, you can pass it through the URL parameters. In the interaction settings, select "Pass form data via URL". Add the appropriate URL parameter names for each form field.

  5. Design the "Thank you" page: Create a new page in Webflow for the "Thank you" message. Design this page to display a thank you message and any other relevant information you want to share with the user. You can also add a button that links back to the original event URL.

  6. Add a dynamic link to the button: In Webflow, you can create dynamic links that populate URLs with specific parameters. Select the button on the "Thank you" page and set its link settings to be a dynamic link. Retrieve the URL parameter values from the form data and construct the original event URL by appending them to the desired URL structure.

  7. Test and publish: Finally, test the pop-up form by submitting it and validating the redirection to the "Thank you" page. Additionally, make sure the button on the "Thank you" page properly links to the original event URL. Once everything is working as expected, publish your changes to make them live on your website.

This approach allows you to create a seamless user experience, capturing their information in a pop-up form, redirecting them to a "Thank you" page, and providing a button with a dynamic link back to the original event URL. By following these steps, you can easily implement this functionality in Webflow.
