How can you make a form in Webflow take in dynamic information from your CMS?
To make a form in Webflow take in dynamic information from your CMS, you can follow these steps:
Connect your form to your CMS collection: In your Webflow project, go to the Designer and select the form element you want to connect to your CMS collection. In the right sidebar, under the "Settings" tab, click on "Form settings." In the "Form actions" section, select "Collect form submissions" and click on the "Connect your form to a CMS collection" button.
Choose your CMS collection: A modal will appear showing all your available CMS collections. Select the collection you want to store the form submissions in.
Map form fields to CMS fields: After selecting your CMS collection, you will see a list of fields in your CMS collection on the left side of the modal. On the right side, you will see the form fields in your selected form. Map each form field to its corresponding CMS field. This step ensures that the data from the form is correctly stored in the CMS.
Customize the success and error messages: In the form settings, you can customize the success and error messages that users see after submitting the form. This helps improve the user experience and provides feedback to the user.
Style and design your form: Once your form is connected to your CMS, you can style and design it using Webflow's visual interface. This allows you to create a beautiful and functional form that seamlessly integrates with your website's design.
By following these steps, you can create a form in Webflow that takes in dynamic information from your CMS. This allows you to collect user-submitted data and store it in your CMS collection for further use and analysis.
