How can I add a secret in the "Authorization" HTTP header with a suggested value in Webflow forms?

To add a secret in the "Authorization" HTTP header with a suggested value in Webflow forms, you will need to use custom code. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Create a form in Webflow: Start by creating a form in Webflow using the built-in form functionality. This will generate the necessary HTML markup for your form.

  2. Add a field for the "Authorization" header: In your form, add an input field where users can enter the secret value. This could be a text input, a select dropdown, or any other form field type that suits your needs.

  3. Identify the form class or ID: In order to target the form in your custom code, you'll need to identify its class or ID. You can do this by inspecting the form element using your browser's developer tools.

  4. Write the custom code: Once you have identified the form class or ID, you can add custom code to your Webflow project to modify the form behavior. This code should capture the value entered by the user and include it as a header in the form submission.

  5. Use JavaScript to modify the form behavior: In your custom code, use JavaScript to listen for the form submission event. When the form is submitted, capture the value of the field that contains the secret value. Then, add a new header to the form submission with the name "Authorization" and the value you captured.

Here's an example of what your custom code could look like:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {  var form = document.querySelector("#your-form-id");  form.addEventListener("submit", function(event) {    var secretValue = document.querySelector("#your-input-id").value;    var headers = new Headers();    headers.append("Authorization", secretValue);    event.preventDefault();    fetch(form.action, {      method: form.method,      headers: headers,      body: new FormData(form)    })      .then(function(response) {        // handle the form submission response      })      .catch(function(error) {        // handle any errors      });  });});

Make sure to replace "#your-form-id" with the actual class or ID of your form, and "#your-input-id" with the class or ID of the input field where users enter the secret value. Also, you will need to handle the form submission response and error in the appropriate places within the code.

By following these steps, you should be able to add a secret in the "Authorization" HTTP header with a suggested value in Webflow forms.
