Hello.
I’m having big issues with my contact form and sending the messages to the right place. I have exported my Webflow website and found out I need to point my Submit button to my own servers. Great but how do I do that? I got all the configuration info IMAP, POP3 and stuff but how do I actually redirect the messages to my mailbox?
Can somebody please tell me how to do that?

Hello, please take a look at these,
Hi @Markus_Reinecke , in order for the form submissions to continue to work on an exported site, a hosting subscription must be added to the site the form is based on in Webflow.
If the plan is to host the site outside of Webflow, one thing to consider is to point the forms at your own mailscript or third party mail service, for example MailChimp.
I hope this helps!
Hi @Markus_Reinecke , thanks for getting back to me. Yes, you can point the form to your mail script url by putting the url to the mailscript file in the Action field. Set the form Method to POST.
Take peek at this article on working with exported forms: http://help.webflow.com/elements/forms#exported-forms
After you export the form, when the form is submitted, the url in the Action field will be called and the form fields posted to the mail script.
Webflow does not support external mail scr…
Hi!
I have created the website with a form in Webflow. Later I exported the website.
Event after I exported the website, form submissions still go throug the Webflow. I need the form submissions avoid Webflow and go straight to my email.
As I understood I need to set up the forms to point to my hosting provider’s mail script or mail service, outside of Webflow.
From my provider I received their own file to send emails from their servers.

Hi @moffegreven , thanks for the info.
Webflow allows to change the Action field of a form, to point to an external script url, or to some third party mail service, like mailchimp.
In the Action field in webflow, set that to: http://pmleng.se/mailscript.php
Set the Method in form settings to POST
When designing the Form input fields, give each form input a unique Name. The Name field will be the name of the Post variable that can be accessed in PHP.
There are many script examples on the web…
Check out a form endpoint service like Hyperforms .
