What are some suggestions for easily converting Webflow designs to third-party forms without damaging the site's design, considering the phasing out of support for exported websites' forms?

Webflow is phasing out support for forms on exported sites, so you’ll need to integrate a third-party form solution while maintaining your design. Here are some approaches:

1. Use Third-Party Form Embeds

• Typeform, JotForm, or Google Forms offer embed codes that you can place inside an Embed element in Webflow.
• Adjust styling in Webflow to match your site. Some platforms allow custom CSS for further styling.

2. Use a Custom Backend with Fetch/AJAX

• Replace Webflow's action URL with your backend URL and use Netlify Forms, Formspree, or Basin to handle submissions.
• Ensure CORS policies and security measures (like reCAPTCHA) are set up properly.

3. Style Forms Manually with Custom Code

• Design the form as usual in Webflow. Then, use hidden inputs and JavaScript to send data to third-party APIs, such as Zapier Webhooks or Airtable.
• Example: Attach an onsubmit handler to the form that triggers a fetch() request.

4. Use Webflow Logic (For Webflow Hosting Only)

• If your site remains hosted on Webflow, use Webflow Logic to automate form processing without needing third-party integrations.
• This is not viable for exported sites.

5. Embed a CRM or Email Marketing Form

• Mailchimp, HubSpot, or ActiveCampaign provide embeddable form snippets.
• Paste the embed code into Webflow's Embed element and style accordingly.

Summary

To maintain Webflow’s design integrity while using third-party forms, choose from embed codes, AJAX-based form handling, direct API calls, or No-Code automation tools like Zapier. Using a backend service like Formspree ensures a smooth transition.
