Webflow multi-step form
Add a multi-step form to your Webflow site with an Embed element, which native Webflow cannot do well. The form collects fields across steps and posts once to Formpaste at the end. No backend.
How to build it
- Create a form in your Formpaste dashboard and copy its access key.
- Add an Embed element with the multi-step markup and your access key.
- Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE with 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
One form, several screens
A multi-step form is a single submission split across steps in the UI. Collect all the fields in client state, then post once at the end.
Route per step is optional
You can give each step its own URL for back-button support, or keep it all on one page with local state. Both post the same final payload.
Post the whole payload once
Do not post on every step. Gather the fields as the user advances and send one request when they finish.
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.
