Is there a way in Webflow to select which specific forms send email notifications, as I have three active forms on my site and users are requesting to receive emails from only one form and not the others?
TL;DR
- Disable Webflow's default notifications in Project Settings and assign a dummy email.
- Use third-party tools like Zapier or Make, combined with unique form names or hidden input fields, to send form-specific emails.
Webflow currently sends email notifications for all submitted forms by default, but you can control who gets notified per form using a few manual workarounds.
1. Use Unique Form Names or IDs
- Webflow identifies forms primarily by their form name or ID for organization in Form Submissions.
- While this doesn't control email notifications directly, giving each form a unique name can help when using third-party tools like Zapier or Make for email routing.
2. Disable Webflow's Default Email Notifications (Workaround Required)
- Webflow does not allow granular control over form notification emails for individual forms.
- You can disable all Webflow notifications (from Project Settings > Forms) by clearing or changing the site-wide notification email to a dummy one.
- This stops Webflow from sending emails entirely, but allows full control via Zapier or other integrations.
3. Use Zapier or Make to Send Form-Specific Emails
- Set up a Zapier or Make scenario to send emails only from a specific form.
- Use filters based on the form name, unique hidden input field values, or submission source page.
- Connect your Webflow site to Zapier using the Webflow Form Submission trigger and route to an email tool (e.g., Gmail, SendGrid, Mailchimp, etc.).
4. Add Hidden Input Fields to Identify the Form
- Add a hidden input field (e.g.,
<input type="hidden" name="source-form" value="ContactForm1">via the Embed element). - Use this field in tools like Zapier to route submissions conditionally.
5. Use Third-Party Form Handlers (Optional)
- Services like Formspree, Formspark, or Netlify Forms allow more granular control per form.
- Embed their form handling URLs in each form and set up per-form notification rules directly on their platforms.
Summary
Webflow does not support per-form email notification settings natively. To gain control, disable Webflow’s notifications and use third-party services like Zapier or Make to send emails based on form identity or hidden input fields.
