Is there a centralized way in Webflow to easily change the redirection of all forms on my website, as my company is switching email marketing automation providers, and I want to ensure I don't miss any forms?

TL;DR
  • Use Zapier or Make with Webflow’s native form handling to reroute submissions without changing form action URLs.
  • Inject a global JavaScript snippet in Site Settings to override form action URLs centrally site-wide.

Webflow does not currently offer a centralized method to update form submission redirection URLs across all forms at once. Each form’s action URL must be updated individually if you're switching from Webflow form handling to a third-party automation provider. However, there are strategies to streamline the process.

1. Use Webflow's Native Form Handling with Zapier or Make

  • If you're using Webflow’s native form handling, you can connect Webflow to your new email marketing provider using Zapier or Make (formerly Integromat).
  • This allows you to leave form action URLs untouched, while rerouting submissions through automation tools.
  • Update just the automation workflow, not the forms themselves—perfect for centralized management.

2. Embed a Global Script to Override Form Actions

  • You can place a custom JavaScript snippet in your Site Settings (under Custom Code → Footer) to dynamically override all form action URLs site-wide.
  • This technique updates the action attribute via JavaScript, allowing centralized redirection without manually editing each form block.
  • Example logic (avoiding code block): for each form element, set form.action = "https://your-new-endpoint.com".

Note: This method doesn't work well if your new provider requires additional hidden fields or specific form structures.

3. Search Manually with Webflow’s Editor

  • Use Webflow’s Pages panel and manually open each page that may contain forms.
  • In each form element, look under Form Settings (via the Settings panel) and set the Form Action if you’re exporting or custom redirecting.
  • This method ensures completeness but is time-consuming on websites with many forms.

4. Use Consistent Form Classes or IDs + Automation

  • If you’ve assigned uniform classes or IDs to your form elements, you can use JavaScript or jQuery to redirect submissions or inject new action values accordingly.
  • Place the script in your site-wide Custom Code area to apply globally.

5. Consider Using Webflow CMS or Components for Form Templates

  • Going forward, use Components (formerly Symbols) to create a reusable form block.
  • Valid for future-proofing, not current forms—but helpful if you often reuse the same form structure across multiple pages.

Summary

There’s no built-in centralized form management system in Webflow for redirection updates. To achieve centralized control:

  • Use Zapier/Make with Webflow’s native forms, or
  • Inject a site-wide script to override form action URLs globally.

Each method depends on your exact setup and provider requirements.
