How can I allow Webflow Forms to capture the current article's URL so that I can receive emails with that URL and better follow-up on inquiries related to each specific article on my site?

To capture the current article's URL in Webflow Forms and receive emails with that URL, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the page editor for the page where your article is displayed.
2. Select the form element you're using to capture inquiries related to the article.
3. In the Settings Panel on the right, click on the "Add Field" button.
4. Choose the "URL" field type from the available options.
5. Rename the field label to something like "Article URL" or "Current Page URL" for clarity.
6. Save the changes to your form.

Now, when someone submits the form on that particular article page, the URL field will capture the current page's URL along with the other form data.

To receive emails with the captured URL, you'll need to set up the form notifications:

1. Go to the Project Settings in your Webflow dashboard.
2. Click on the "Forms" tab.
3. Select the form you want to configure (the one you added the URL field to).
4. Under the "Notification" section, click on "Add Email" to add a new notification.
5. In the "Recipient" field, enter the email address where you want to receive notifications.
6. Customize the subject and body of the email to include the captured URL field.

You can use Webflow's email template tags to dynamically include the captured URL field in the notification email. To do this, simply enclose the field's name (e.g., {{Article URL}}) within double curly braces in the email body.

Once your form is set up with the URL field and notifications, you'll receive an email whenever someone submits the form on the article page. The email will contain the captured URL, allowing you to follow up on inquiries related to specific articles on your site.

By utilizing this approach, you can streamline your follow-up process and have a better context for each inquiry based on the specific article URL.
