Is there a free alternative to automate email sending through Webflow without using Mailchimp and Zapier?
Yes, there is a free alternative to automate email sending through Webflow without using Mailchimp and Zapier. Here is how you can achieve this:
Use the Webflow Form feature: Webflow has a built-in form feature that allows you to collect user data and send it to your email address. You can configure this feature to send emails automatically whenever a form is submitted.
Set up an email service provider: To send emails through Webflow without using Mailchimp, you will need to set up an email service provider (ESP) that offers an API integration. Some popular ESPs with API integrations include SendGrid, Mailgun, and Postmark.
Configure your ESP with Webflow: Once you have set up your ESP account, you will need to obtain API keys or credentials from your ESP and configure them in your Webflow project settings. This will enable Webflow to communicate with your ESP.
Customize your Webflow form submission settings: In your Webflow project settings, go to the Forms tab and select the form you want to configure. Under the "Actions" section, choose the option to "send form data to an external service." Here, you will need to provide the API endpoint URL provided by your ESP.
Map form fields to ESP: In the same form settings, you will also need to map your form fields with the corresponding fields in your ESP. This ensures that the data submitted through the form is sent to the correct fields in your ESP.
Test and deploy: After setting up the integration and mapping the fields, test your form submission to see if the data is being sent to your ESP successfully. Once everything is working as expected, you can deploy your Webflow project.
By following these steps, you can achieve email automation through Webflow without using Mailchimp and Zapier. This allows you to send emails directly to your chosen ESP and take advantage of their automation features.
