To gather form entries utilizing the incorporated form element, an active site subscription<\/a> is necessary. If you intend to export your site and continue using the built-in form element on that site, adjustments to your form settings will be required to link to a third-party form service for collecting form entries.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you have the option to incorporate forms produced or designed with third-party services instead of employing the native form element.<\/p>\n

In this guide<\/h5>\n

In this informative article, we present the steps to utilize the original Webflow form element to obtain entries after exporting your site. Once you have selected the third-party form service for integration with your preferred Webflow forms, you will:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Locate and duplicate the form action URL<\/li>\n
  2. Insert the form action URL in your form settings<\/li>\n
  3. Export your site\u2019s code<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Locate and duplicate the form action URL<\/h2>\n

    Most form providers allow you to merge forms created within their dashboard with existing forms on other websites \u2014 effectively establishing a connection between user input on your site and the form provider\u2019s database. For instance, you can connect MailChimp with Webflow forms to dispatch signup form emails to MailChimp.<\/p>\n

    In the majority of cases, your form provider will furnish a personalized POST URL that you will be instructed to paste as the \u201caction\u201d attribute. The following two items are essential:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Submission protocol (often POST)<\/li>\n
    2. POST URL (sometimes referred to as the \u201caction URL\u201d or \u201caction attribute\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Insert the form action URL in your form settings<\/h2>\n

      Once you acquire the form action URL, embed it within the \u201caction\u201d field in your form element\u2019s settings in the Designer. Confirm that the method aligns with the form provider\u2019s requirements (POST or GET).<\/p>\n

      \n
      <\/div>
      Modify how form entries are managed from your form\u2019s settings.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      Export your site\u2019s code<\/h2>\n

      After implementing these modifications and releasing your site, your form will commence transmitting data to your designated form provider. Subsequently, you can export the website code and upload it to your hosting service. This will enable you to obtain entries through the form provider.<\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re interested in understanding the impact of these adjustments on your form\u2019s underlying code, you are essentially altering the action and method attributes within your form HTML.<\/p>\n
