§ 00Webflow + Consultation Requestplatform-specific integration guide

Why Webflow developers choose splitforms for consultation request

Webflow's built-in form block sends to Webflow's own backend, which caps at 100 submissions/month on the free plan and lacks webhook delivery, CC recipients, and spam filtering. The consultation request on this page bypasses that entirely — paste it into a custom embed element, set the form action to splitforms, and you get 500 dashboard submissions/month with AI spam filtering; Starter adds Slack/Discord webhooks. Webflow's native interactions (success message, loading state) still work if you use <code>fetch</code> instead of a native form submit.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · lead capture

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Webflow.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the consultation request fields visible in your Webflow UI, and let splitforms handle delivery, spam filtering, storage, and webhooks.

best implementation

Paste the HTML version, then replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY.

The posted payload contains full name, email, phone, topic, what do you need help with?. Required fields are full name, email, phone, topic and what do you need help with?.

native webflow reality

Webflow's built-in Forms feature delivers submissions to your Webflow project dashboard and emails them — but the free Site plan caps submissions (50 per site, lifetime, on legacy plans) and webhooks are gated behind the Workspace plan ($24/mo+).

§ 03Setup3 steps · 60 seconds · zero config

Generate, embed, receive.

Three actions stand between you and your first consultation request submission. None of them require a backend, a database, or a CAPTCHA library.

STEP 01GENERATE

Generate a free splitforms key

Sign in at splitforms.com — your access key is created instantly. No credit card, no setup wizard, no SDK to install.

STEP 02EMBED

Paste the consultation request into your Webflow project

Drop the form snippet into a Webflow page, component, or layout. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard. The form action is a hard-coded URL — no env vars or build-time wiring needed.

What changes when this consultation request lives in Webflow.

These notes come from the Webflow platform registry and are rendered on this template page so crawlers see the framework-specific answer without opening a separate guide.

without splitforms

Webflow's built-in Forms feature delivers submissions to your Webflow project dashboard and emails them — but the free Site plan caps submissions (50 per site, lifetime, on legacy plans) and webhooks are gated behind the Workspace plan ($24/mo+). Worse, the form fails silently if you exceed the cap: users see the 'success' state, your inbox gets nothing. There's no API to inspect submissions programmatically below the Workspace tier, and CMS-driven forms inherit the same caps. Native is fine for a personal portfolio with three submissions a year; for any real lead capture, you need an external endpoint. Splitforms is that endpoint without the plan upgrade.

deploy notes

Webflow hosts your published site on its own CDN — there's no Vercel/Netlify config to worry about. The form posts cross-origin to splitforms regardless. Disable Webflow's built-in hCaptcha for the form (Form Settings → Spam Filter → Off) — it intercepts submissions client-side before splitforms is reached. Lock the splitforms access key to BOTH your *.webflow.io staging URL and your custom domain in the dashboard; Webflow serves both, with different Origin headers. Custom code embeds count toward Webflow's per-page code limit (10 KB) — keep raw-HTML Embed forms tight if you have multiple per page.

Webflow gotcha

Webflow strips custom hidden inputs from native Form Blocks

If you add <input type="hidden" name="access_key"> directly in Designer's Form Block, Webflow ignores it on publish. Use the Form Block's settings panel: Form Settings → Form Name + add custom attribute. Or use an Embed element with raw HTML if you need full control.

Webflow gotcha

Default action URL gets reset on every Designer save

Setting the Action URL to https://splitforms.com/api/submit in the Form Block sometimes reverts to Webflow's default after a publish. The fix: lock it in by adding a custom attribute action to the form element (Settings → Element Settings → Custom Attribute).

Webflow gotcha

Method must be set to POST in the form's settings, not the URL

Webflow forms default to GET. Open the form's Settings panel, change Method to POST. If you forget, the submission posts your fields as URL query params — splitforms returns a 405 Method Not Allowed.

Webflow gotcha

Webflow's success/error elements still trigger on AJAX submit

Webflow auto-shows the .w-form-done div on a 2xx response. That's good — but if you also set up a redirect field in splitforms, the user sees the success message for ~80ms before the redirect fires. Either remove the success div or skip the redirect field.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — native Form Block with overridden action URL

Use Webflow's drag-and-drop Form Block — keep the styling, structure, and Designer integration. In Form Settings, change Action to https://splitforms.com/api/submit and Method to POST. Add a hidden access_key field via the form's settings panel. Submissions skip Webflow's backend entirely. Use the same wiring for the consultation request fields on this page.

pattern-a.htmlhtml8 lines
01<!-- After saving in Designer, the published HTML looks like: -->
02<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
03 <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
04 <input type="text" name="name" required />
05 <input type="email" name="email" required />
06 <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
07 <input type="submit" value="Send" />
08</form>
PATTERN B

Pattern B — Embed element with raw HTML

If you need full control over markup (custom honeypot, file upload, multi-step), drop an Embed element on the canvas with raw HTML. Skips Webflow's form widget entirely. Useful for forms that don't fit the Designer's mental model. Use the same wiring for the consultation request fields on this page.

§ 06Questions6 answered

Consultation Request on WebflowFAQ.

Direct answers, no marketing fluff. Missing one? Email hello@splitforms.com.

01Does this consultation request work on Webflow?
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Webflow site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Webflow page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
02How much does the consultation request cost on Webflow?
Free for 500 submissions per month — no credit card, no trial. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions, and there's a one-time $59 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/mo for 36 months). The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.
03Can I customize the fields?
Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (full name, email, phone, topic…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
04How does spam protection work on the consultation request?
A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a tuned classifier scores the rest. You only see real submissions in your dashboard. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on Webflow as on any other framework.
05Can I send the consultation request submissions to Slack or Discord?
Yes. Webhooks are available on Starter and above, with auto-formatted payloads for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp (via CallMeBot). Or send raw signed JSON to any URL — Zapier, n8n, your own server. Configure in the splitforms dashboard.
06Will it work on a static Webflow site?
Yes — the form posts directly to splitforms from the browser, so no server is involved. Works on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, S3, or any plain Apache host.
