Is there a way to include an identifier for each recommendation in the feedback form data on Webflow CMS? Can the feedback form data also include the identity of the logged-in user?

Including an identifier and user identity in Webflow forms involves a few steps. Here's how you can achieve this within Webflow CMS:

​

1. Add a Unique Identifier to Recommendations

• Create a CMS Collection in Webflow to store your recommendations.
• Include a field for an identifier (e.g., a unique number or code) within the CMS Collection.
• Link this identifier to each recommendation displayed on your site to ensure it’s included in your forms.

​

2. Capture Logged-In User Identity

• Integrate MemberStack or Outseta for member capabilities, as Webflow alone does not support user authentication.
• Add a script or custom attribute to capture the logged-in user's identity and include it in your form submissions. This might involve using custom code to pass user information from MemberStack/Outseta to Webflow forms.

​

3. Modify the Feedback Form to Include Identifiers

• Edit your feedback form to include hidden fields for the recommendation identifier and possibly the user ID.
• Use custom code to populate these hidden fields dynamically based on the recommendation shown and user logged in.

​

4. Testing and Review

• Test your form setup to ensure it captures both the recommendation identifier and user identity correctly.
• Review the submitted data in Webflow’s form submissions or CSV exports to confirm everything works as expected.

​

Summary

To include a recommendation identifier and user identity in your Webflow CMS forms, create identifiers in your CMS collection, integrate a member management solution for user identity, and adjust your forms to capture this data via hidden fields.
