Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: whenever someone submits the Contact form on my Webflow site, email me their name, email, company and message.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A Webflow site's contact form is often the main way new business reaches a studio or small company. Submissions are stored inside the Webflow dashboard, and the built-in notification emails can be limited, delayed or filtered into spam. A prospect asking for a quote at 9 a.m. is still waiting at 3 p.m. because no one knew the form was filled in, and a competitor who replied first wins the job.

When a visitor submits a Webflow form, Webflow sends the submission to a webhook. The automation reads the fields, lays them out in a clear email with each field name and what the person typed, and sends it to your inbox within seconds, so a new enquiry looks like any other message you would answer.

It suits freelancers and small agencies that need every lead to land where they already work.

What you get out of it

Reply while the lead is still interested
Speed matters on a quote request. An email in seconds lets you answer within the hour, which tends to win work against slower competitors who find the enquiry the next morning, long after the prospect has contacted others.
Not dependent on a spam folder
A message from your own automation can reach a fixed address you control and whitelist, instead of relying on default notifications that mail providers sometimes quietly filter, hiding real customers from you.
Fields laid out the way you read them
Each form field appears with its label, so the budget, deadline and message are easy to scan on a phone without opening the Webflow dashboard, logging in and clicking through to the form submissions page.
A second copy of every enquiry
The email is a backup record. If form data is cleared, a site is rebuilt or a plan is downgraded, the submissions still exist in your mail and can be searched later by name or company.
Route different forms to different people
Because the email step knows which form sent the data, a support form can go to one inbox and a sales form to another, so each enquiry reaches the person who can actually deal with it.

How it works

What happens, step by step

When someone fills in a form on your Webflow site, Webflow sends the entry to ClickRuntime straight away.
ClickRuntime lays out each field and its answer.
You get an email with the full entry and the form name and person's name in the subject.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Webflow steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

email_me_form_submissions.pyexample

from clickruntime import on_event, notify

FORM_NAME = "Contact"

@on_event
def handle(event):
    payload = event.json or {}
    sub = payload.get("payload", {})
    if payload.get("triggerType") != "form_submission" or sub.get("name") != FORM_NAME:
        return {"sent": False}
    d = sub.get("data", {})
    notify.email_me(f"Contact form: {d.get('Name')}",
                    f"Name: {d.get('Name')}\nEmail: {d.get('Email')}\nCompany: {d.get('Company') or '-'}\n\n{d.get('Message', '')}")
    return {"sent": True}

FAQ

Common questions

Which Webflow plan do I need to receive form webhooks?

Webflow's site-level form submission webhooks are configured in the site's integration settings, and availability depends on the site plan. Check that your Webflow plan includes form webhooks before relying on this, since the event only fires if Webflow sends it.

Does it work with more than one form on the site?

Yes. Each form submission includes the form name, so the email can say which form it came from, and you can handle different forms differently, such as sending each one to a separate recipient with its own subject line.

Will file uploads from the form be attached?

Webflow includes a link to uploaded files in the submission data. The email contains that link rather than the file itself, so you click through to download it, and the message stays small enough to reach any inbox.

What permissions does it need?

forms:read, sites:write (for webhook). Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run for each event the app sends.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
