To create a script in Webflow that redirects users based on the fields they select in a form, you will need to use custom code. Here are the steps to achieve this:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where the form is located.
  2. Add an HTML Embed element to the page. You can find it in the Add panel on the left-hand side.
  3. Double-click on the HTML Embed element to open the code editor.
  4. In the code editor, you can write your custom JavaScript code to handle the form submission and redirect the user. Here is an example code snippet:
<script>  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {    var form = document.querySelector('#your-form-selector');    form.addEventListener('submit', function(event) {      event.preventDefault(); // Prevent the default form submission      var field1 = form.querySelector('#field1-selector').value;      var field2 = form.querySelector('#field2-selector').value;      // Check the values of the form fields and redirect accordingly      if (field1 == 'option1' && field2 == 'option2') {        window.location.href = 'https://example.com/page1';      } else if (field1 == 'option3' && field2 == 'option4') {        window.location.href = 'https://example.com/page2';      } else {        window.location.href = 'https://example.com/other-page';      }    });  });</script>
  1. Customize the code to match your specific form fields, options, and redirect URLs. Replace 'your-form-selector', 'field1-selector', 'field2-selector', and the redirect URLs as needed.
  2. Save the changes and publish your Webflow site to make the custom script live.

Keep in mind that this solution assumes you have some knowledge of JavaScript and you have access to custom code in your Webflow project. It's also important to test the form thoroughly to ensure it behaves as expected.

Additional Notes:

  • If you have multiple forms on different pages, you will need to repeat these steps for each form.
  • Remember to follow best practices for user experience by providing clear feedback to the user, such as displaying an error message if the form submission fails or the fields are not valid.
  • This solution does not cover server-side form validation, so make sure to implement appropriate server-side validation to secure your form submissions.

By using this custom script, you will be able to redirect users based on the fields they select in a form, providing a personalized user experience and improving your website's functionality.
