Is it possible to create a form that has fields that are linked to fields in a CMS collection?
So for example, my CMS collection may have fields for a name, location, and message, and when the user submits their information into those same fields on the form their information is captured within the CMS?
100% comfortable using code
Yes, Webflow CMS has an API and one of the first use case is making a form with Webflow that will be an input for CMS data.
The common practice is to trigger a webhook on form submission to Zapier, Integromat, custom endpoint, then integrate the tool/code used with the API to create a CMS item. There is no access to the form methods directly.
