To provide your clients with access to and the ability to download files submitted through forms in Webflow without giving them access to your designer account or making the form submissions public, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up a Zapier integration: Zapier is a platform that allows you to connect different apps and automate workflows. Set up a Zapier integration with Webflow and choose the trigger event as a new form submission.

  2. Choose an action: After setting up the trigger event, choose an action that will allow you to send the file to your client. There are several options you can consider, such as sending an email with the file as an attachment or uploading the file to a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive.

  3. Configure the action: Once you have chosen the action, configure it to specify the recipient email address and the file you want to send or upload. You can also customize the email template if you choose to send the file as an attachment via email.

  4. Test the integration: Before making it live, it's important to test the integration to ensure that the file is being sent or uploaded correctly. Submit a test form and check if the file is delivered to your client as expected.

  5. Activate the integration: After testing, activate the integration so that it becomes live and starts working with every new form submission. Make sure to monitor the integration regularly to ensure its continued success.

By implementing this workflow using a tool like Zapier, you can provide your clients with access to and the ability to download files submitted through forms in Webflow easily and securely, without compromising the privacy of your designer account or exposing form submissions to the public.
