Retrieving Email Sent from Form Submission without Contact Information

  1. Unfortunately, if a person does not provide their contact information in a form submission on Webflow, there is no built-in feature to retrieve the email sent. The form submission data in Webflow is primarily based on the information provided by the user.

  2. However, there are a few workarounds you can consider to obtain the email sent from form submissions without contact information:

  • Use a "required" field: Change the form field corresponding to the email address to "required". This forces the user to enter their email before submitting the form. Although this cannot guarantee accurate or valid email addresses, it can help mitigate situations where users forget to provide their email.

  • Implement a custom script: You can add custom code to the form submission process that checks if an email address has been provided. If the email address is missing, you can send a notification to yourself or log the form submission data for further follow-up.

Accessing Previous Form Submissions in Webflow

To access previous form submissions in your Webflow account, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account.

  2. In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the project that contains the form submissions you want to access.

  3. From the Dashboard, click on the "Forms" tab.

  4. In the "Forms" tab, you will see a list of all the forms on your website. Click on the form name that corresponds to the submissions you want to access.

  5. After clicking on the form name, you will be taken to the "Submissions" section, where you can see a list of all the form submissions.

  6. Click on any specific form submission to view its details, including the submitted data for each form field.

  7. If you need to export the form submissions, you can click on the "Export" button to download the submissions as a CSV file.

By following these steps, you can easily access and review previous form submissions within your Webflow account.
