Weebly Contact Form

How does the Weebly contact form work?

The Weebly website builder allows us to create a contact form on your contact page or any standard page (such as your homepage), as you can see below.
​​

When a visitor from your website submits a form entry, Weebly will send a notification email to your email address with the entries data. Your site’s dashboard will store the entries data for review. You can see the Weebly form entries by going to Overview/ Marketing/ Mailing Lists as below.

Does the Weebly contact form actually work?

It is no doubt that the Weebly contact form works seamlessly with every Weebly website. In our experience, at least 95% of Weebly users use the Weebly contact form for all the excellent features and how easy (and nicely) it is.

​​You could add any form field that you may need to ask your visitors, from the name, email address, phone number to dropdown, checkbox, or file upload. You could even choose to compose an email to the people in your list or set up automation emails to follow up within the Overview / Marketing / Email section. All in all, we recommend you to use the Weebly form instead of using other firms that offer on the Weebly App Center or embedded form from Email marketing tools.

Create a Contact Form in Weebly.

To create a contact form in Weebly, drag and drop a Form element into a section on your Weebly page on the Build tab.

When clicking on the form, you will see the form fields appear on the left sidebar of the Build tab. Drag and drop any custom field you might need your visitor to fill in their information into the form.

Choose the contact form email address to receive the form entries in the Form Options. You can also assign the Confirmation message, or edit the submit button, and so on.

In some cases, you might want to redirect users to a thank-you page after submitting a form (to monitor the conversion rate of your campaign or on Google Analytics). To add a thank-you page on a Weebly form, go to Form Options, / Confirmation / Link / add a URL or a Standard page as your thank you page.

Weebly Newsletter Form

As a lead magnet, the Weebly newsletter form is similar to the Weebly contact form, but it’s just for the visitor to fill in their email and sign up to your email list. You can offer your visitor an ebook or some sort of helpful information in exchange for their email address.

Weebly Contact Form Tips

• When you want your form to overlap other sections or elements (like the Infiniti contact form above), you can drag and drop the contact form on a FlexiBox app and set the Flexibox padding as a negative number. For example, set the top padding of Flexibox as -100.
• ​​If you want the submit button to match the button style of your website, you can drag and drop a form element into a Button X app to customize the button style of the contact form.

Why add Mailchimp to Weebly?

You may wonder if the Weebly contact form and Weebly email marketing are so great, then why do we need to use MailChimp or other email marketing tools? Well, the answer is simple, even the Weebly contact form is perfect, the Weebly email marketing tool might not be an ideal marketing tool. Though we still recommend you to use the Weebly email marketing tool for the seamless experience, for some businesses, you would need to use a more complex email marketing tool, such as MailChimp.

Does MailChimp work with Weebly?

In our experience, MailChimp or any other email marketing tools (like GetResponse, SendFox, Drip, or HubSpot, etc.) can be integrated and works on a Weebly website.

​​There are two separate ways to integrated MailChimp into Weebly:

• ​​Create a Weebly Contact Form and add the data to your MailChimp list via Weebly Form API. Only experienced developers can use this method. You might work around this coding difficulty using a Weebly app to connect your form and MailChimp, such as Automate.io. This app, however, did not work out for us since we could not even add the app to our test site successfully.
• ​​Create a MailChimp contact form and add it to your Weebly site. This method is possible for everyone. We will share with you this method as below.

How to add MailChimp to Weebly
