Contact form for Webflow without a backend

A custom HTML embed gives your Webflow page a form that points directly to FormDrop.

Where this goes

Place the markup in an HTML embed on your contact page and publish the site.

Create a form in the dashboard and replace YOUR_FORM_ID with your endpoint ID. No account key belongs in this code.

<form action="https://formdrop.wouldairecommend.workers.dev/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input id="email" type="email" name="email" required>
  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
  <input name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" hidden>
  <button type="submit">Send message</button>
</form>

The detail that matters

Custom-code availability depends on your Webflow plan. Check your plan before choosing this approach; test the published page.

After you publish

Send a test from the published page, then check Inbox and Spam. Native forms follow a redirect; fetch clients must request JSON and show errors. Set your allowed domains to the hostnames you actually publish, including any preview hostname you need.

Read the endpoint reference for reserved fields, CORS and redirect rules. Start from the accessible contact template if you need styling.

Questions about this setup

Does Webflow need its own backend?
No. The browser posts the named form fields to your FormDrop endpoint. Your site can stay static.
Will this send an email notification?
Email notifications are not switched on yet. Read submissions in the dashboard or connect Slack, Discord, Telegram or a webhook.
Can I attach a file?
File uploads: not yet. Text fields are saved; files are ignored and flagged in the dashboard. Link to an existing public document instead.
