Can someone help with a solution for forwarding contact form submissions to an expert's email on their profile page in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use a hidden input in the form to pass each expert’s email from the CMS on their profile page.  
  • Set up a Make (or Zapier) scenario to catch form submissions, extract the expert’s email from the hidden field, and forward the message to that address.

To forward contact form submissions to an expert's email (unique per profile page) in Webflow, you'll need to work around Webflow’s native limitations using third-party tools.

1. Understand Webflow Form Limits  

  • Webflow does not natively support dynamic email routing in form submissions.
  • All Webflow form submissions are sent to a pre-defined list of email addresses under Project Settings > Forms.

2. Use a Third-Party Form Handling Service  

To dynamically route form submissions based on the profile page, use tools like Make (Integromat), Zapier, or Formspree.

  • Use a hidden input to pass the expert’s email from the CMS.
  • Use a tool like Make or Zapier to catch the form submission and route it dynamically.

3. Steps to Set Up Dynamic Routing with Make (Integromat)

  • Create a Webflow CMS field for the expert’s email (e.g., expert_email).
  • Add that CMS field to a hidden input in the form using a Form Block on each expert’s profile page.
  • Sign up for Make.com and set up a Webflow trigger (or use a webhook) to collect form submissions.
  • In the Make scenario, extract the hidden email field and use it as the dynamic recipient in your email action (like Gmail or SMTP module).

4. Configure Form in Webflow

  • Use a hidden input with name like expertEmail, and bind its value to expert_email from the CMS.
  • For example:  
  • Name: expertEmail  
  • Value: Add field from CMS > expert_email

5. Test the Scenario

  • Publish your site and fill out the form on an expert profile page.
  • Ensure that the correct expert email is received in Make or Zapier.
  • Confirm the email is forwarded successfully to that expert.

Summary  

Since Webflow doesn’t support dynamic emails in form settings, use a third-party tool like Make to route form submissions. Pass the expert’s email via a hidden input from CMS, and use it to send the submission to the right recipient.
