Now, let's give our forms a test. 1
We have made a pretty simple form this time. 2
Just an email address. 3
We can go pretty crazy with forms on Webflow, but be it single field or multistep 10 field form, 4
they all work the the same. Submission went quite well. 5
This is a default behavior. 6
The submission happens right on the page. When you refresh the page, 7
then this message is gone and we can submit the form again. 8
We're not limited to this version. 9
We can also redirect users to a different page, after the submission. Like to a thank you page, or a confirmation 10
page. Whatever. 11
All we have to do for that is build that page in Webflow and add the URL in the form settings. You can 12
either add a full URL with a domain and HTTPS. 13
and all that stuff. Or you can just use the slash and the final slug. Slug is basically this ending 14
that we get inside the URL. 15
Like, for example, in the blogs, in the blog we had /blog. So that's a slug. So you can create a page 16
and then create that slug, which is /thank-you. 17
Something like that. 18
And add that inside the URL, inside the redirect URL. And the browser understands that that means 19
on our own website and not some other website. 20
OK. 21
Now, let's see what happened to our form submission. 22
Go to project settings and click on the forms tab. 23
if you scroll to the bottom, 24
that's where you'll see the submission. 25
There is a lot we can do with these submissions. We can delete, 26
we can export it into CSV. 27
We can send submissions automatically by email. 28
We can provide an email address of a person who is going to receive submissions. 29
Usually, your client's email address and they will get an email like this. 30
I love that Webflow also takes care of this and I don't have to get a plugin or, you know, install some 31
third party application to manage these notifications and all that stuff. 32
We're also able to customize these email notifications, when our site has a hosting plan. 33
Another thing, we can do is integrate form submissions with other apps. For example, to email marketing 34
tools like MailChimp. New submissions can be sent to this email marketing platforms, where your clients 35
can do their thing with it. And, you know, blast email newsletters and promotional material and all 36
that stuff. And that's all there is to form submissions.
