To direct a form submission to a specific email address in Webflow, you do not need to use a paid service like Mailchimp or Zapier. Webflow has built-in functionality to handle form submissions and send them to an email address of your choice.
Here's how you can direct a form to a specific email address in Webflow:
- Design your form in the Webflow Designer:
- Go to the page where you want to place the form.
- Drag and drop form elements from the Form section of the Elements panel onto the canvas to build your form.
- Customize the form fields and styling as desired.
- Set up the form submission settings:
- With the form selected, go to the Form Settings panel on the right-hand side.
- Under the "Actions" tab, click on the "Add an action" button.
- Select the "Email" action from the list.
- Configure the email settings:
- In the "To" field, enter the email address where you want the form submissions to be sent.
- Optionally, you can add more email addresses by separating them with commas.
- Customize the "Subject" field to specify the subject line of the email that will contain the form submission.
- Customize the "Message" field to include any additional information you want to include in the email body.
- Save and publish your site:
- Once you have configured the form and email settings, save your changes in the Webflow Designer.
- Publish your site for the changes to take effect.
That's it! Now, whenever a user submits the form on your Webflow site, the form submission data will be sent to the specified email address(es).
