To redirect a user to a specific page based on the CMS page the form is in, you can utilize Webflow's built-in redirect feature. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Open the page with the form in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Select the form element you want to add the redirect to.
  3. In the right sidebar, click on the "Settings" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Form Redirect" section and enable the toggle switch.
  5. In the "Redirect to" field, click on the dropdown menu and select "Custom URL."
  6. Now you can dynamically generate the URL using the CMS data. Click on the dynamic field button next to the URL input box.
  7. In the dynamic field modal, select the appropriate CMS field that contains the page slug or any other identifier you want to use to determine the redirect destination.
  8. After selecting the CMS field, type in the rest of the URL or static portion of the URL you want to redirect to. For example, if you want to redirect to a dynamically generated blog post page, you would enter something like "/blog/" and then select the CMS field that contains the blog post slug.
  9. Once you've set up the redirect URL, hit the "Save" button to apply the changes.

Now, whenever a user submits the form on that specific CMS page, they will be redirected to the dynamically generated page based on the CMS data you've set up.

By using this method, you can create personalized experiences for your users by redirecting them to relevant content related to the page they are on. This can be especially useful when you have a blog or any other content-rich website where users may be submitting a form to access more information.

In summary, to redirect a user to a specific page based on the CMS page the form is in, follow these steps:

  1. Select the form element in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Enable the form redirect setting in the right sidebar.
  3. Choose "Custom URL" as the redirect option.
  4. Generate the URL dynamically by selecting the appropriate CMS field.
  5. Type in the static portion of the URL.
  6. Save the changes and test the form submission to ensure the correct redirection.
