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:

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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).
