To link input fields in your form to the fields in your collection on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your collection: First, make sure you have set up a collection in Webflow that contains the fields you want to link with your form input fields. You can create a new collection or modify an existing one as per your requirements.

  2. Add form element: Place a Form element on the page where you want your form to appear. You can find the Form element in the Add Panel on the left side of the Webflow Designer.

  3. Add input fields: Inside the Form element, add the necessary input fields you want to include in your form, such as text fields, email fields, or dropdowns. Customize the input fields as required, including labels and input types.

  4. Add bindings: With the input field selected, go to the Property Panel on the right side of the Designer and find the "Bind to Collection" section. Click the "+" button to add a binding.

  5. Choose collection field: In the pop-up window, select the appropriate collection from the dropdown list. Then, select the specific field in the collection that corresponds to the input field. Webflow will automatically populate the field's value based on the collection data when the form is submitted.

  6. Repeat for other input fields: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each input field that you want to link to your collection fields. Make sure you select the correct collection and corresponding field for each input.

  7. Style your form: After setting up the bindings, you can style your form using the Webflow Designer. Customize the form layout, typography, colors, and other visual elements to match your website's design.

  8. Test the form: Preview your website and test the form functionality. Enter data into the input fields and submit the form to verify that the data is correctly linked to the respective collection fields.

By following these steps, you can easily link input fields in your form to the fields in your collection on Webflow.
