Webflow Contact Form Without Native Limits

Set up FormsReach with Webflow

Create a free API key

Wire the form action

In Webflow Designer, select your Form element. Set the action to the FormsReach submit endpoint (POST). Add a hidden field named api_key with your key, plus name, email, and message fields.

Publish and test

Publish the site. Submit once - check email and/or WhatsApp depending on your delivery settings.

<form action="https://api.formsreach.com/submit" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="api_key" value="YOUR_API_KEY"> <input type="text" name="name" required> <input type="email" name="email" required> <textarea name="message" required></textarea> <button type="submit">Submit Form</button> </form>

<form action="https://api.formsreach.com/submit" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="api_key" value="YOUR_API_KEY" /> <input type="text" name="name" required /> <input type="email" name="email" required /> <textarea name="message" required></textarea> <button type="submit">Submit Form</button> </form>

Beyond native Webflow form email

Native Webflow form notifications are fine until you need faster sales reply paths or a backend you control. FormsReach is a form API you point the form at - same Designer workflow, delivery handled outside Webflow’s native email-only path when you enable WhatsApp delivery.

Platform notes

Method must be POST; action must be the FormsReach submit URL.
Hidden api_key is required so submissions route to your account.
Match field names to what you want in the message (name, email, message work out of the box).

Troubleshooting

Webflow still emails only itself: Confirm the form action points at FormsReach, not the default Webflow handler alone.
Missing submissions: Check that api_key is a hidden field with the correct name and value.
Designer vs published: Always re-test on the published site after changing form settings.

FAQ

Can I keep using the Webflow Form element?+

Yes. Set a custom form action and method POST to FormsReach, and include a hidden api_key field. You can also paste the full HTML snippet in an Embed element.

Do I need Webflow Logic or Zapier?+

Not for email and WhatsApp delivery through FormsReach. Those tools are optional for other workflows.

Free vs Pro delivery?+

Email and WhatsApp via Meta WhatsApp Business API, with spam filtering. Usage is metered in monthly credits.

Does this work on Webflow hosting?+

Yes. The browser posts to FormsReach, so your Webflow host does not need a custom server.
