Creating an auto-submit form with emoji selection in Webflow

To create a form in Webflow that auto-submits after the user selects an emoji without a "Submit" button, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a form element to your Webflow project
  • Access the Webflow Designer by clicking on the project name in your dashboard and selecting the desired project.
  • Drag and drop a Form Block element onto your webpage. You can find this element in the "Forms" section of the elements panel.
  • Position the form element where you want it to appear on your webpage.
  1. Set up the form fields
  • Within the Form Block, add the necessary form fields. In this case, a "Radio Button" or "Checkbox" field will work best for emoji selection.
  • Customize the field labels to indicate the choices or emojis available for selection.
  1. Configure the form submissions
  • With the form element selected, go to the right panel and click "Open Form Settings."
  • In the Form Settings panel, you can set up the form submission options.
  • Enable the "Auto-Submit" option to make the form submit automatically when a selection is made.
  • If you want to receive form submissions via email or integrate with a third-party service, such as Webflow Forms, you can configure the necessary options in this panel as well.
  1. Style the form
  • Customize the appearance of the form to match your design.
  • Use CSS styling options available in the Webflow Designer to adjust the form's colors, typography, spacing, etc.
  1. Preview and publish
  • Preview your webpage to test the form functionality. Make sure the form auto-submits when an emoji is selected.
  • If everything looks and works as expected, publish your website for the changes to take effect.

Now your form in Webflow will automatically submit once a user selects an emoji without the need for a "Submit" button.
