Webflow Forms: HTML Embed Setup
Replace Webflow's built-in form with an HTML Embed that posts to a Formboost endpoint: spam screening, email, Slack and webhooks, no Webflow form limits.
Webflow has a built-in form component, but it stores submissions inside Webflow and has limited integration options. With Formboost, you get AI spam filtering, webhooks, a REST API, and a searchable submission dashboard — using a custom HTML Embed element.
Prerequisites
- A Formboost account (sign up free)
- A Webflow site (any plan that includes custom code embeds)
Step 1: Create a Formboost Endpoint
Log in to your Formboost dashboard and create a new endpoint. Copy the endpoint URL:
https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_IDStep 2: Add an HTML Embed in Webflow
- Open your page in the Webflow Designer
- In the left panel, go to Add Elements → Components → Embed
- Drag the HTML Embed element onto your page
- Click the element and select Open Embed Code
- Paste the following:
<form action="https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID" method="POST" class="fb-form">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required />
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email address" required />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" rows="5"></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send Message</button>
</form>
<style>
.fb-form { display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 12px; max-width: 480px; }
.fb-form input,
.fb-form textarea { padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 6px; font-size: 15px; font-family: inherit; }
.fb-form button { padding: 12px 24px; background: #000; color: #fff; border: none; border-radius: 6px; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer; }
</style>Replace YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID with your actual endpoint ID.
Step 3: Style to Match Your Design
Edit the <style> block in the embed to match your Webflow site's colors and fonts. Since it's scoped to .fb-form, it won't affect other elements.
Step 4: Custom Redirect (Optional)
To send users to a custom thank-you page after submission, add a hidden field inside the <form>:
<input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="https://yoursite.webflow.io/thank-you" />Step 5: Test It
Publish your Webflow site and submit the form. The submission will appear in your Formboost dashboard and trigger an email notification.
