To send the data from the contact form on your Webflow site to a mailbox on your Exchange server without being limited in form submissions, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Set up SMTP email delivery:
  • Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the project dashboard.
  • Go to the Form Settings for the contact form you want to connect with your Exchange server mailbox.
  • Under the "Form Actions" section, select "Mail an email" and click on "SMTP."
  • Fill in your Exchange server's SMTP settings, including the SMTP server address, port number, and any necessary authentication details.
  • Test the connection to ensure it's working properly.
  1. Customize the email template:
  • Click on the "Customize Email Template" link in the Form Settings.
  • Customize the email template to include the desired form data. You can use the form input field names as placeholders in the template.
  • Ensure that the email template includes a field for the recipient email address where you want the submissions to be sent.
  1. Set up form submission limits:
  • To avoid being limited in form submissions, you can use a transactional email service like SendGrid or Mailgun.
  • Sign up for an account with the chosen transactional email service and obtain the necessary credentials.
  • Configure the SMTP settings in your Webflow Form Settings with the credentials provided by the transactional email service.
  • These services usually offer higher submission limits or provide a paid plan for increased capacity.
  1. Test the form submission:
  • After setting up SMTP email delivery, customizing the email template, and configuring submission limits, test the contact form to ensure it's working correctly.
  • Fill in the form fields and submit the form.
  • Check the mailbox on your Exchange server to confirm that the form submission is delivered successfully.

By following these steps, you can send the data from the contact form on your Webflow site to a mailbox on your Exchange server without being limited in form submissions.
