Can someone help with a solution for forwarding contact form submissions to an expert's email on their profile page in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use a third-party form handler like Make, Zapier, or Formspree to route Webflow form submissions dynamically.
  • Add a hidden field bound to the expert's CMS email, then configure the automation tool to send form data to that address.

To automatically route Webflow contact form submissions to a different email based on the expert's profile page, you’ll need a workaround—Webflow’s native form handling only sends emails to predefined addresses.

1. Understand Webflow's Native Limitations

  • Form settings in Webflow only allow submissions to be sent to email addresses set in the Form Notification Settings via Project Settings > Forms.
  • There is no dynamic email routing available natively (i.e., you cannot send a form to a different address based on the page data).

2. Use a Third-Party Form Handler (e.g., Make, Zapier, or Formspree)

To dynamically forward submissions:

  • Use Make, Zapier, or a similar automation tool to receive the form data via webhook and route the email as needed.
  • Alternatively, tools like Formspree, Basin, or Formspark offer endpoints with dynamic email support.

3. Add a Hidden Field for the Expert’s Email

  • On the expert's profile page, bind a hidden input field to the expert's email using a Webflow CMS field.
  • For example, add an input field like:
  • Name: recipientEmail
  • Attribute: type="hidden"
  • Value: bind it to expert.email from the CMS

4. Configure the Third-Party Integration

  • Set the form’s action URL to your third-party service’s endpoint (e.g., from Formspree or custom webhook via Make/Zapier).
  • In the automation tool:
  • Parse the form submission.
  • Read the recipientEmail field.
  • Send an email to that address with form content.

5. Test Thoroughly

  • Publish your site.
  • Submit the form from a few expert profile pages.
  • Check that the correct recipient receives the email content.

Summary

Webflow doesn’t support dynamic email routing natively. To forward form submissions to different expert emails based on their profile, use a third-party form handler (like Make or Formspree), and pass the expert's email using a hidden form field from the CMS.
