To create a workflow in Webflow that allows users to submit their email before downloading an ebook from a gallery, you can follow these steps:

  1. Design your gallery and create the download button:
  • Start by designing your gallery using Webflow's built-in design tools. Add images and any other relevant content.
  • Create a button within each gallery item that prompts users to download the ebook.
  1. Set up a form to collect user emails:
  • Drag and drop a "Form" element from the Webflow Designer onto your page.
  • Customize the form by adding an email input field where users can enter their emails.
  • Optional: You can include additional fields in the form to collect more information about the user if desired.
  1. Configure the form submission:
  • Once your form is set up, select the form element, go to the "Settings" tab, and click on "Form settings."
  • Enable the "Form notifications" feature to receive an email notification every time someone submits the form.
  • Next, choose the "Redirect" option and enter the URL of the ebook file so that users are redirected to the file after submitting their email.
  1. Add a form success message:
  • After setting up the form submission, you can customize the success message that users will see once they've submitted their email.
  1. Connect your form to an email marketing service:
  • To ensure you capture and store the email addresses of users who submit the form, you can integrate Webflow with popular email marketing services like Mailchimp or ConvertKit.
  • In Webflow, go to the "Settings" tab, select the "Integrations" option, and choose your preferred email marketing service. Follow the instructions to connect it to your form.
  1. Style and position the form:
  • Customize the form's style and position it in a visually appealing way within your gallery.
  • You can use Webflow's Designer tools to modify the form's appearance, add animations, or adjust its position on the page.

By following these steps, you can create a seamless workflow in Webflow where users can submit their email and access the ebook from your gallery.
