00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:05,160
Now, let's give our forms a test.
1

2
00:00:05,170 --> 00:00:07,030
We have made a pretty simple form this time.
2

3
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:08,240
Just an email address.
3

4
00:00:08,260 --> 00:00:13,180
We can go pretty crazy with forms on Webflow, but be it single field or multistep 10 field form,
4

5
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:16,150
they all work the the same. Submission went quite well.
5

6
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:17,520
This is a default behavior.
6

7
00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:20,820
The submission happens right on the page. When you refresh the page,
7

8
00:00:20,830 --> 00:00:23,610
then this message is gone and we can submit the form again.
8

9
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:25,150
We're not limited to this version.
9

10
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:31,690
We can also redirect users to a different page, after the submission. Like to a thank you page, or a confirmation
10

11
00:00:31,690 --> 00:00:32,750
page. Whatever.
11

12
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:38,050
All we have to do for that is build that page in Webflow and add the URL in the form settings. You can
12

13
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:41,150
either add a full URL with a domain and HTTPS.
13

14
00:00:41,290 --> 00:00:48,460
and all that stuff. Or you can just use the slash and the final slug. Slug is basically this ending
14

15
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:50,530
that we get inside the URL.
15

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,950
Like, for example, in the blogs, in the blog we had /blog. So that's a slug. So you can create a page
16

17
00:00:57,010 --> 00:01:00,960
and then create that slug, which is /thank-you.
17

18
00:01:01,030 --> 00:01:02,040
Something like that.
18

19
00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:07,690
And add that inside the URL, inside the redirect URL. And the browser understands that that means
19

20
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:10,360
on our own website and not some other website.
20

21
00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:10,770
OK.
21

22
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:13,270
Now, let's see what happened to our form submission.
22

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Go to project settings and click on the forms tab.
23

24
00:01:19,430 --> 00:01:20,790
if you scroll to the bottom,
24

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,690
that's where you'll see the submission.
25

26
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:26,500
There is a lot we can do with these submissions. We can delete,
26

27
00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:28,420
we can export it into CSV.
27

28
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:34,160
We can send submissions automatically by email.
28

29
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:38,400
We can provide an email address of a person who is going to receive submissions.
29

30
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:42,660
Usually, your client's email address and they will get an email like this.
30

31
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:47,690
I love that Webflow also takes care of this and I don't have to get a  plugin or, you know, install some
31

32
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:51,350
third party application to manage these notifications and all that stuff.
32

33
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:56,040
We're also able to customize these email notifications, when our site has a hosting plan.
33

34
00:01:56,030 --> 00:02:01,250
Another thing, we can do is integrate form submissions with other apps. For example, to email marketing
34

35
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:06,650
tools like MailChimp. New submissions can be sent to this email marketing platforms, where your clients
35

36
00:02:06,650 --> 00:02:12,230
can do their thing with it. And, you know, blast email newsletters and promotional material and all
36

37
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:15,380
that stuff. And that's all there is to form submissions.
