Yes, in Webflow, you can trace the source of form submissions by utilizing a feature called Form Notifications. Form Notifications allow you to receive email notifications whenever someone submits a form on your website. By including specific information in the email notification, you can easily trace the source of the submission.

To trace the source of form submissions in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Open the Designer and navigate to the page that contains the form you want to trace.
  3. Select the form element on the canvas to open its settings in the right sidebar.
  4. In the form settings, scroll down to the "Actions" section and click on "Notifications."
  5. Click on "Add Email" to add a new notification recipient.
  6. In the "To" field, enter the email address where you want to receive the notifications.
  7. In the "Message" field, you can customize the content of the notification email. Include important information such as the form name and page URL to help you trace the source.
  8. Optionally, you can customize the subject line of the email by clicking on the "Subject" field.
  9. Click "Save" to save the notification settings for the form.

Now, whenever someone submits the form on your website, you will receive an email notification containing the relevant information. By checking the email, you can easily trace the source and other details of the form submission.

NOTE: If you want to store the form submission data in Webflow or integrate it with external tools, you can explore other features like Zapier, Webflow CMS, or custom code. These methods offer more advanced options for tracking and managing form submissions.
