Anyone else getting random form submissions after the recent outage?

Recently got a random form submission from a form I removed months ago.
Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if it could be related to the recent AWS/Webflow outage.

I checked my site and everything looks fine, so just trying to figure out how that came through.

Hey David,

I can’t honestly say if this is directly related, but it could be to do with the recent outage and our form replay mechanism.

The reason we do this is that if there is ever an outage, the team have added safeguards to make sure that form submissions are not lost during the outage. It may be that you have received a straggler in a recent replay, and it could be one you already received.

If there are any issues, I can reach out the team for clearer answers, especially if my answer wasn’t helpful :sweat_smile:

Here’s some interesting links that might help:

…and the one below is of my favorite webflow blog posts of all time. I had zero idea the level of complexity involved… and as a user myself makes me feel better knowing my form submissions are on theor way!
