How to link a Form to a CMS item?

@Roald for my fully automated solution you’ll need to use Zapier and some email marketing service (like ConvertKit or MailChimp) that allows you to send emails based on segments.

Here’s how…

Setup Email Marketing Service:

  1. Setup an automated email for each PDF download (containing the link).
  2. Setup a “segment” for each of those automated emails.
  3. The idea is when a new subscriber enters a segment an email automatically gets sent (with the PDF download link).

Setup Webflow Form:

  1. Create a cms collection of “segments” (ex: “I like ice cream” shown in the dropdown could have a value of “ice_cream” for the segment name)
  2. Display this list in the form in a select element
  3. Bind the segments cms collection to it

Setup Zapier:

  1. Create a Webflow zap in Zapier that triggers on a “Form Submission”
  2. Collect which segment the user selected (ex: “ice_cream”)
  3. Send the users email and segment (collected on the form) to your Email Marketing Service
  4. Create a new subscriber at your Email Marketing Service with this segment

An email will automatically be sent to this email address, with this segment, sending the correct pdf download link.
