Webflow does not offer a centralized setting to change the form action URLs for all forms—but there are a few effective methods to manage this transition efficiently across your site.
1. Understand Webflow's Default Form Handling
- By default, Webflow hosts and processes its forms using its own backend, and submissions are sent to email addresses you configure or stored in submission data.
- If you're using a third-party provider (like Mailchimp, HubSpot, etc.), each form typically must be manually integrated—via custom form actions, hidden inputs, or embed codes—per form.
2. Audit Your Existing Forms
- Use the Webflow Designer to go through each page or use the Pages panel to track which pages contain forms.
- If you’ve used Symbols or Components, changes made to those will affect all instances site-wide. If your forms are built this way, this is your best centralized option.
3. Convert Form to Symbol/Component (If Not Already)
- If you’re using the same form layout across pages, turn it into a Symbol (in legacy Designer) or a Component (current recommended method).
- Then you can update the form once inside that Symbol/Component and it will reflect across all pages that use it.
4. Use Form Embed for Full Control
- To direct forms to another platform (like your new automation provider), use a custom embed element instead of a Webflow-native form.
- This allows you to set the form action URL exactly as required by the new provider.
- Again, if the embedded code is used inside a Symbol or Component, you get centralized control.
5. Update Form Settings or Custom Code Per Form
- If you haven’t used a reusable component, you will need to manually update each form in the Designer.
- If your current forms use custom
formaction or action attributes added via custom code, use the Page Settings → Custom Code section or site-wide code embedding.
6. Consider Automation with Webflow CMS + Zapier/Make
- If embedding or custom actions are not feasible across all forms, consider using Zapier or Make to forward submissions via Webflow’s native form submission events.
- This doesn't change your forms but acts as a middle layer to send data to your new provider.
Summary
Webflow does not have a centralized "redirect all forms" setting, but you can achieve consistent updates by using Symbols or Components for reusable forms, or switching to custom embed code for full control. For forms that aren’t centralized, you’ll need to manually update each one in the Designer.
