How can I integrate Webflow and Salesforce, including styling, success message, and hidden form fields, while keeping the overall functionality of a standard Webflow form? Any tips on the best way to proceed?

Integrating Webflow forms with Salesforce can be accomplished by leveraging Salesforce's Web-to-Lead functionality. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you accomplish this integration while maintaining the overall functionality of a standard Webflow form:

1. Set up your Salesforce account: Before integrating Webflow and Salesforce, ensure that you have a Salesforce account and the necessary permissions to create and manage leads.

2. Create a Web-to-Lead form in Salesforce: In your Salesforce account, navigate to the setup menu and search for "Web-to-Lead" in the quick find box. Follow the instructions to create a new Web-to-Lead form. This form will provide you with an HTML code snippet that you'll need to integrate into your Webflow project.

3. Prepare your Webflow form: In Webflow, design your form layout and add all the necessary form fields. Ensure that the names of your form fields in Webflow match the field names in Salesforce. This will ensure seamless data mapping when the form is submitted.

4. Add the Salesforce HTML code to your Webflow project: Within your Webflow project, navigate to the page where you want to place the form. Add an Embed element and paste the HTML code generated by Salesforce into it. This HTML code should be pasted in the "Before " field using the Webflow designer interface.

5. Customize the success message: By default, Salesforce will display a generic success message after form submission. To manage the success message, add a custom JavaScript code in the Webflow project or use an HTML Embed element to override the default behavior. You can use JavaScript to display a custom success message or redirect the user to a designated success page.

6. Add hidden form fields: If you want to pass additional data to Salesforce that is not visible to users, you can add hidden form fields in Webflow. Create a custom attribute for each hidden field and name it appropriately. For example, if you want to pass the lead source, create a hidden field called "Lead Source" and set its value accordingly.

7. Test the integration: Publish your Webflow project and test the form submission. Fill out the form, including the hidden fields, and ensure that the data is accurately reflected in Salesforce.

By following these steps, you'll be able to integrate Webflow and Salesforce seamlessly while retaining the visual styling, success message customization, and hidden form field functionality of a standard Webflow form.
