Autoreply for webflow form submission

[web_crazy (Shraddha Naik Chincholkar)]

I want to set auto reply for form submission in webflow. please help me know how to do this?

[Scott_Van_Zandt]

Good news! There are a lot of options! @web_crazy

I would suggest using Zapier or Just a Mailchimp form connected to a List that automatically send a Welcome email. Mailchimp just released an update allows automation across all plans, even the free account.

Zapier makes it easy to push data from a Webflow form to anywhere, check it out: Zapier.com

Thanks for your reply Scott_Van_Zandt . …
can i use MailChimp free service for this ?

[Scott_Van_Zandt]

Yes you should be able too. The problem is they limit your LIST size… to like 50 or something.

any tutorial/video to see how mailchimp works with webflow for customised auto replies? its urgent.

[Scott_Van_Zandt]

@web_crazy ll you need to do is create a Mailchimp account & a Zapier account.

Make a Webflow form and Label it something memorable.
Customize each input field & name.

Go to Zapier.

Make a Zap with Webflow as the trigger and Mailchimp as the second action.

Everything else is pretty straight forward!

@Scott_Van_Zandt . . . customised message worked. i want to add user groups from my webflow form chkeckbox click to mailchimp list. how can i do that? please check my form for refrence.

[web_crazy (Shraddha Naik Chincholkar)]

@pauloram . . . i have gone through then solution you gave in past in this forum

Make checkbox also send my contact form to Mailchimp

Yes just worked this one out. First add the check box field to your mailchimp list so go to ‘list fields and merge tags’ under settings: [image] set up your radio button as required (1) and then copy the merge tag it outputs for this (2): [image] back in webflow paste this merge tag into the radio button field settings for GROUP NAME. If you have more than one radio button then they all get the same group name merge tag and the user can only select one of them. If you want them to be ab…

Will this work same for checkboxes instead of radio buttons? how? TIA.

@Scott_Van_Zandt I have 2 forms on my “Sign-up” page. I followed your cool advice and linked Zapier to send an auto-response email, and it works great – with one of my forms (the one on the right), but not the other.

Question: Am I right, that:
(1) the name of the form (that Zapier picks up) is in the Webflow SIGNUP FORM element / FORM SETTINGS / FORM NAME?
(2) And that I would need two different Form Names and two separate Zaps?

The reason I ask, is that Zapier is seeing only the choice of “Email Form” as a form name. I tried changing the Form Name in Webflow of the left-side element to another name (“Email Form PO”) and republished, but Zapier then didn’t see it.

Your help is appreciated.

[Scott_Van_Zandt]

Yes Chuck, I would reccomend switching up your form names, and give zapier some time to pick up the changes once you’ve made them, it can take a little bit to propagate. I typically create a new zap for each data transfer/form (depending on what I need to achieve)

Pm me with any questions or If you need help

[chuckPhipps]

This was golden! I followed your advice and both forms’ auto-responder-emails are now working perfectly. Thank you for being so helpful.

[Scott_Van_Zandt]

@chuckPhipps anytime!! Happy I could help

Happy Designing!

I have a different solution. If you are using google gsuite you can create a group and have the submission be passed to group

Hi,

Is there a way to send a followup reply that’s a little delayed e.g. 15mins instead of instantly/1 day later?
