How to Add Custom Form Fields in Webflow

Step 1: Log in to Webflow and access your project. If you don't have an account, sign up for a free version on their website. Navigate to the project where you want to add custom form fields.

Step 2: Open the Designer. Click on the Designer option in the top menu to enter the visual editing interface for designing your website's elements, including forms.

Step 3: Locate or create your form. In the Designer, find an existing form or create a new one. To create a new form, use the Add panel on the left sidebar (the plus icon). Click on the Forms category and drag the Form Block onto your page.

Step 4: Add custom form fields. With your form in place, go to the Add panel. Under Forms, you'll find various fields like Text Field, Text Area, Email Field, and Dropdown. Drag and drop the field type you need onto your form. For a checkbox, simply drag the Checkbox element.

Step 5: Customize each field. Click on the newly added field to access its settings in the right panel. You can modify the label to help users understand what to enter, add placeholder text for examples, make fields required if necessary, and ensure each field has a unique name for backend processing.

Step 6: Style your form fields. To make the form match your website design, click on any field to style it using the Style panel on the right. Adjust fonts, colors, borders, padding, and more to create a cohesive look.

Step 7: Set up form notifications. Click on the form block and head to the Settings panel in the right sidebar. Enter email addresses for submission notifications and customize the success message users will see upon form submission.

Step 8: Publish your changes. Once your form is customized, click the publish button at the top right of the Designer screen to make your updates live on the website.

Step 9: Test your form. Ensure your form works as intended by filling it out like a user would, and check if submissions reach the right email or are collected properly in your Webflow Dashboard.

By following these steps, you can effectively add and customize form fields to enhance user interaction and improve data collection on your Webflow site.
