Webflow job application form
Add a job application form with resume upload to your Webflow careers page, without paying for Webflow's file uploads. Use an Embed element with the markup, and applications with attachments land in your inbox. No backend.
How to build it
- Create a form in your Formpaste dashboard and copy its access key.
- Connect Storage in the dashboard so the form can accept file uploads.
- Add an Embed element with the markup above and your access key, then publish.
Webflow gotchas
Webflow's native form is real, but the free plan caps you at a handful of submissions and file uploads need a paid tier. You have two clean options with Formpaste: repoint the native form's action URL, or drop an Embed element with your own markup for things Webflow cannot do natively, like multi-step or file upload.
Repoint the action URL, or use an Embed
For a standard form, set the form's action to the Formpaste endpoint and add a hidden access_key field. For full control - multi-step, file upload, custom fields - use an HTML Embed element with the generated markup instead.
Beat the submission cap
Webflow's free plan limits form submissions. Posting to Formpaste removes that cap - submissions land in your Formpaste inbox regardless of your Webflow plan.
File uploads without a paid tier
Webflow gates file uploads behind a paid plan. An Embed that posts multipart form data to Formpaste accepts uploads with no Webflow upgrade, and your site never handles the file.
Keep the access_key in the markup
Whether you repoint the action or use an Embed, the hidden access_key input must be present so Formpaste knows which form received the submission.
What to get right
The resume is a file upload
A real job application needs the resume attached, so the form posts multipart form data. The generated code sets enctype and sends the file with the rest of the fields.
Accept common document types
Candidates send PDF and Word files. Do not restrict to a single type or you will lose applicants.
Route applications to the right inbox
Send applications to your hiring address, and reply-to is set to the applicant so you can respond directly.
How it works
Three simple steps for form submissions to land in your email inbox.
Create your form, set your form's action URL to Formpaste's endpoint, and add your access key.
