How can I determine which CMS page a form submission is from in Webflow?

To determine which CMS page a form submission is from in Webflow, you can use a combination of Webflow's native form submission handling and custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Set up a form on your CMS page: In the Webflow Designer, create a form element and add your desired form fields. Make sure to give each field a unique name attribute.

2. Configure the form settings: Under the Form Settings panel, choose the "Form submission" option and select a desired target URL. This URL will be used to handle the form submission.

3. Set up a server or use a third-party service: In order to capture the form submissions and determine the originating CMS page, you'll need to handle the form data server-side. You can either set up your own server using a server-side programming language like Node.js, PHP, or Python, or use a third-party service like Zapier or Integromat.

4. Capture the form data: In your server or third-party service, set up a handler to capture the submitted form data. You can access the form data by extracting it from the request object or payload, depending on the server-side programming language or service you're using.

5. Determine the originating CMS page: Once you have access to the form data, you can extract information like the CMS item ID or slug from the form submission. You can use this information to identify the CMS page from which the form was submitted.

6. Store or process the form data: Depending on your requirements, you can choose to store the form data in a database, send email notifications, or perform any other desired actions.

Note: Custom coding is required for this setup, so some familiarity with server-side programming or using third-party services is helpful.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure to handle error scenarios, such as form submissions from non-CMS pages or forms that are not associated with any CMS item.
• Use proper security measures when handling form data, such as sanitizing user input and implementing measures to prevent form spam.
• Test your setup thoroughly to ensure that the form data is being captured accurately and the correct CMS page is identified.

Example Custom Code:
Here's an example to demonstrate how you can determine the originating CMS page using custom code in Node.js with Express framework:

app.post('/form-submission-handler', (req, res) => {  const formData = req.body; // Assumes form data is sent in the request body  // Extract CMS identifier from the form data (e.g., item ID or slug)  const cmsIdentifier = formData.cmsIdentifier;  // Lookup CMS page based on the identifier  const cmsPage = lookupPageByIdentifier(cmsIdentifier);  if (cmsPage) {    // Perform desired actions or pass the CMS page information to other functions    // (e.g., store in database, send email notification)  } else {    // Handle error scenario where CMS page is not found  }  res.status(200).end();});

Summary:
Determining the originating CMS page of a form submission in Webflow involves setting up a form on your CMS page, capturing the form data server-side or using a third-party service, and extracting the CMS page information from the form data. Handling form submissions and processing the data requires custom code and is typically done in a server-side programming language or using third-party services.
