Has anyone been able to successfully get the default Webflow success message to appear after passing data to a custom endpoint without being redirected to a new page?
Yes, it is possible to have the default Webflow success message appear without being redirected to a new page after passing data to a custom endpoint. This can be achieved by using the Webflow API and custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Create a form in Webflow: Start by creating a form element in your Webflow project. Add the necessary form fields and ensure that the form submission is directed to a custom endpoint.
Set up the custom endpoint: You will need to set up a custom endpoint to handle the form submission data. This can be done using server-side scripting languages such as PHP or Node.js.
Use the Webflow API: In your server-side script, use the Webflow API to pass the form data to Webflow. You will need to authenticate the API request using your Webflow API key.
Handle the API response: Once the API request is successful, you will receive a response from the Webflow API. Check the response to determine if the data was successfully passed to Webflow.
Display the success message: If the data was successfully passed to Webflow, you can use JavaScript to display the default Webflow success message. This can be done by targeting the success message element in your Webflow project and changing its visibility or adding a custom class to show it.
By following these steps, you can pass the form data to a custom endpoint without redirecting to a new page and still display the default Webflow success message.
