Webflow form submission email confirmation

At a glance

The post asks if there is a way to set up email confirmations for clients submitting a form in Webflow. Community members suggest using a tool like Make.com to integrate with Webflow and set up email confirmations, such as by using Make and Sendgrid. They discuss the pros and cons of Make vs Zapier, noting that Make is more complex but offers more flexibility, and is cheaper than Zapier. One community member shares how they use Make to automate CMS page publishing for newsletter content. Overall, the community provides suggestions on how to achieve the desired functionality, but there is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.

Is there a way in Webflow to set up that when a client submits a form they get an email confirmation?

Hi @Sara Margolies unfortunately Webflow doesn’t support this but there are ways to use make.com to do this

Send me a DM I’m more than happy to help 👍

Hey! I usually do this with Make and Sendgrid, and works great.

Thanks! Do you prefer make over zapier? Would be curious how they compare

I’ve only worked with Make. When it first got introduced to me, I was told that it’s more complex than Zapier, but it also has more flexibility. Make has served me well, so never really had a reason to give Zapier a try.

Here’s what Perplexity has to say about them.

For me it comes down to price and make is cheaper than zapier, and there is more you can do with it!

Yup, and like it. Just don’t forget to consider that Make has a steeper learning curve.

got it. Yes, Zapier is super easy to figure out. I'll take a look at them.

What have you used Make for in Webflow? Curious to know different cases

All kinds of stuff. Form data capture and send to Pipedrive, Mailchimp, auto email response, CMS page publishing etc.

@Hunor can you elaborate on CMS page publishing?

Sure. I have a client who sends out regular newsletters and and wants to have the newsletters copied to a CMS page. So the way I’m going to set this up is every newsletter send action will trigger a Make scenario, which will grab the newsletter content, add it to the CMS rich text field and then publish the page.

oh wow! do you need to constantly check up on that to make sure it's working? or once it's set you're good to go?

I usually just set it up and forget about it. Make sends you email notifications if a scenario runs into an issue.

that's great! does zapier do the same?
