Yes, there is a way to log the server response, including the payload, when submitting a form on the actual page in Webflow. Here's how:

  1. Enable form submission logging: In order to log the server response, you need to have the form submission data sent to an external service or script that can handle the log. You can use Webflow's built-in form submission feature or integrate with third-party services like Zapier or Integromat to achieve this.

  2. Use the Webflow Form Submission feature: Webflow has a native form submission feature that allows you to collect form data and send it to an email address. You can enable this feature by selecting the form field and going to the settings panel on the right-hand side. Under the "Form" section, enter the email address where form submissions should be sent.

  3. Set up a webhook with an external service: Another way to log the server response is by setting up a webhook with an external service. This allows you to send form data to a specified API endpoint, where you can capture the payload and log it. Services like Zapier, Integromat, or custom backend solutions can be used to handle the webhook.

  4. Create a custom script: If you have the technical expertise, you can create a custom script to handle the form submission and log the payload on the actual page. You can use JavaScript to listen for the form submission event, capture the form data, and log it to the console or send it to a server-side script for logging.

By following one of these methods, you can log the server response, specifically the payload, when submitting a form on the actual page in Webflow.
