Can I create a directory listing with a form submission feature in Webflow using CMS and native Forms?

Yes, you can create a directory listing with a form submission feature in Webflow using CMS and native Forms. Here's how you can accomplish this:

1. Setting up the CMS:

• Create a new collection for your directory listing. Add fields to store the various details you want to include in the directory listing, such as name, address, description, etc.
• Populate the collection with the directory listings you want to display.

1. Creating the directory listing page:

• Design and build the layout of your directory listing page using Webflow's Designer tool.
• Create a dynamic list on the page that pulls data from your CMS collection. Customize how the listings are displayed by dragging and dropping elements within the list.

1. Setting up the form submission feature:

• Add a Form element to the directory listing page using Webflow's Designer tool.
• Customize the form fields to collect the necessary information for the directory listing submission.
• In the Form Settings panel, select "Collect Email Submissions" and choose a target collection (the same collection you created in step 1).

1. Styling the form and success message:

• Customize the form's appearance using the Designer tool. You can modify fonts, colors, and layout to match your website's design.
• Edit the success message that is displayed after form submission. You can personalize the message and redirect users to a different page if desired.

1. Adding form data to the directory listing collection:

• After submitting the form, the data is automatically added to the CMS collection in Webflow.
• You can then use this newly added data to populate the directory listings.

By following these steps, you can create a directory listing with a form submission feature using CMS and native Forms in Webflow. This allows users to submit new listings through a form and have them displayed automatically on your website.
