How can I add a form fill for users to view a .pdf on just one blog post in Webflow?
To add a form fill for users to view a .pdf on just one blog post in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Upload the .pdf file: Before you can add the form fill, you need to make sure that the .pdf file is uploaded to your Webflow project. You can upload the file by going to the Webflow Designer, selecting the page where you want to add the form, and then clicking on the Assets panel. From there, click the "Upload File" button and select your .pdf file.
Create a form: In order to capture user information and grant access to the .pdf file, you will need to create a form. Go to the Webflow Designer, add a new section to your blog post page or use an existing one, and then drag and drop a "Form" element onto that section.
Configure the form: With the form element selected, click on the settings gear icon to open its settings panel. In the settings panel, set the form's method to "POST" and add the appropriate form fields to capture user information (e.g., name, email).
Set up a form submission trigger: After setting up the form fields, you need to add an interaction that will trigger when the form is submitted. With the form selected, click on the "Add Interaction" button in the toolbar at the top right of the Designer. In the interaction panel, choose the "Form Submission" trigger and configure it to submit the form data.
Customize the success message: With the form still selected, you can customize the success message that will be displayed to the user after they submit the form. This message can include a link to download the .pdf file.
Grant access to .pdf file: To restrict access to the .pdf file and only allow users who have submitted the form to view it, you can use a backend service or CMS integration. You can store the form submissions in your Webflow CMS or integrate with a third-party service like Zapier to store the form data. Then, you can set up a conditional visibility rule on the .pdf file element to only show it to users who have submitted the form.
By following these steps, you can add a form fill for users to view a .pdf on just one blog post in Webflow while capturing user information and granting access to the file.
