Can a user who initiates the sign-up process on a restricted page be automatically directed back to that page upon verification in Webflow? Is it possible to send a user a specific email pertaining to the video they are watching once they have landed on the video page in Webflow?

Yes, in Webflow it is possible to automatically direct a user back to a restricted page upon verification. This can be done by using Webflow's built-in form handling feature.
Here's how you can set it up:
- Create a form element on your restricted page where the user initiates the sign-up process.
- Customize the form fields according to your requirements (e.g., name, email, password).
- Set the form's action to be an external URL that points to your verification endpoint or script.
- In your verification endpoint or script, verify the user's credentials and redirect them back to the original restricted page if they are verified.
- You can use Webflow's redirect feature to perform the redirection. Access this feature by selecting the form element and navigating to the settings panel on the right side of the Designer interface. Under the "Form Handling" section, click on "Redirect" and enter the URL of the restricted page.
Regarding the second question, Webflow does not have direct functionality to send specific emails based on the video a user is watching. However, you can integrate Webflow with external email marketing software, such as Mailchimp or Sendinblue, to achieve this functionality. Here's how you can do it:
- Integrate your Webflow site with an email marketing service like Mailchimp or Sendinblue. Webflow has built-in integrations for these services that allow you to connect your forms and send email notifications.
- In your video page template, add a hidden field to the form element that captures the video information. You can use custom code to do this, or Webflow's embed component.
- Set up an automation or campaign in your email marketing software that triggers based on the form submission from the video page.
- Customize the email content to include the specific video information based on the hidden field value captured in the form submission.
By following these steps, you can automatically send a specific email pertaining to the video a user is watching once they have landed on the video page in Webflow.
