It is indeed possible to collect email addresses in Webflow forms and send a download link in return. There is no need to rely on third-party tools for this feature. Webflow's form builder allows you to easily create forms that collect user information, including email addresses, and trigger actions upon submission.

Set up a form submission action: In the Form Builder, click on the "Add Field" dropdown and select "Email." This will add a field where you can customize the email that will receive the form submission data.
Set up the confirmation email: In the Form Builder, click on the "Add Field" dropdown again and select "Email." This time, you will customize the email that will be sent to the user after they submit the form. You can include a personalized download link in this email.
Customize the success message: In the Form Builder, you can also customize the success message that appears after a user submits the form. You can include instructions on how to access the download link.
Style and publish your form: Finally, style the form to match the design of your website using the Webflow Designer. Once you are satisfied, publish your site for the changes to take effect.
By following these steps, you can collect email addresses in Webflow forms and automatically send a download link in return, all without the need for third-party tools.
