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.
