How can I create a PDF from a form filled by a customer and then send it to their email using Webflow?
To create a PDF from a form filled by a customer and send it to their email using Webflow, you will need to integrate with third-party services. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
Choose a form builder: Webflow has its built-in forms, but they don't have the capability to generate PDFs. Therefore, you'll need to use a third-party form builder that supports PDF generation. Some popular form builders that integrate well with Webflow are JotForm, Typeform, and Formstack.
Create your form: Use your chosen form builder to design and build your form. Ensure that it includes all the necessary fields for collecting the required information.
Set up the PDF generation: Within your form builder, set up the PDF generation feature. This allows you to define the layout and content of the PDF generated from the form data.
Configure email notifications: Configure the form builder to send an email notification to the customer's email address. Make sure to attach the generated PDF to the email.
Integrate the form with Webflow: Once you've created the form and configured the PDF generation and email notifications, you'll need to integrate the form with your Webflow website. This involves embedding the form code provided by the form builder into your Webflow site. Most form builders offer detailed instructions on how to do this.
Publish and test: Publish your Webflow site and test the form. Fill out the form as a customer would, submit it, and check your email to ensure that the PDF is successfully sent to the customer.
By following these steps, you can create a PDF from a form filled by a customer and send it to their email using Webflow. This integration with a third-party form builder that supports PDF generation and email notifications is necessary as Webflow's native form functionality does not provide this capability.
