How can I customize the error and success messages that appear after clicking on a form button in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Access the form block, locate the Form Success and Error messages, then modify their text and style as desired.
  • Test the form with various inputs to ensure the customized messages display correctly.

Customizing error and success messages in Webflow after submitting a form involves a few steps in the Designer. Here’s how you can do it:

​

1. Access Form Block

  • Select the form block on your Webflow project to view its elements.

​

2. Locate Form Messages

  • Inside the form block, find the built-in Form Success and Error messages. These are typically placed at the end of the form block.

​

3. Customize Success Message

  • Select the Success Message element.
  • Change the text content to whatever custom message you wish to display after a successful form submission.
  • Apply any styling changes (color, font, etc.) using the Style panel to match your site's design aesthetic.

​

4. Customize Error Message

  • Select the Error Message element.
  • Modify the text to fit the error message you prefer users to see in case of submission failure.
  • Similar to the success message, apply any desired styling changes for visual consistency.

​

5. Test the Changes

  • Preview your site in Webflow Designer to test how the new messages appear.
  • Submit the form with correct and incorrect inputs to ensure both messages show up correctly.

​

Summary

To customize error and success messages in Webflow, locate these messages within the form block in the Designer, then modify their text and style to align with your needs. Make sure to test the form to verify both custom messages appear as expected.
