Add a contact form to Webflow
Webflow's built-in form handling stops at 50 submissions on the free site plan, only ever emails you, and disappears entirely the moment you export your site. Repointing the form's action keeps the Webflow designer experience while the data goes somewhere you control - including Slack, Telegram and webhooks, not just an inbox.
Setup
Copy your endpoint
Create a form in the dashboard.
Set the form action in Webflow
Select the Form Block (not the inner form elements), open Settings, set Action to your endpoint and Method to POST.
Check your field names
Webflow names fields like 'Contact-1-Name' by default. Rename them to name, email and message in the element settings so your notifications read cleanly.
Add a redirect
Either use Webflow's own redirect setting, or add a hidden _next field with your thank-you URL.
Webflow examples
Swap in your own endpoint and these run as-is.
Set these in the Webflow designer - no code needed.
Action: https://send.webforms.to/wft_your_key Method: POST Field names (rename from the defaults): Name → name Email → email Message → message
Add an Embed inside the form for the honeypot and redirect fields.
<input type="hidden" name="_next" value="https://example.com/thanks">
<input type="hidden" name="_subject" value="New Webflow enquiry">
<input type="text" name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off"
style="position:absolute;left:-9999px" aria-hidden="true">Worth knowing
- Webflow shows its own success state only for its native handler. With a custom action the browser follows the _next redirect instead, so point it at a thank-you page you have designed.
- Exported Webflow sites keep working unchanged, because the action is a plain URL rather than a Webflow feature.
Webflow form FAQ
Yes. Select the Form Block, open its settings and set Action to your endpoint with Method POST. This replaces Webflow's built-in handling.
It no longer applies, because submissions never touch Webflow's form handling.
Yes, and this is a good reason to switch before you export. Webflow's native form handling only runs on Webflow hosting; a custom action works anywhere.
