A Guide To Wix Forms, Messages & Automation

Wix Forms have a wide range of capabilities that businesses and website owners can utilize for their excellence.



While they cater to many needs, the additional benefits and add-ons make up the deal. Apart from setting up a form, Wix also allows you to send confirmation messages to the users who submit the form.


Moreover, most of this process can be automated using Wix’s Automation Tools.


So let us look closely and dive deeper into how you can manage and add Wix Forms, how can the confirmation messages be edited, and how the processes can be automated.


How To Manage & Add Forms on Wix?


The first thing you want to do is add a form on your Wix website page.

  1. Click on the Editor bar on the left

  2. Click Contact & Forms

  3. The menu with different variants of Wix Forms might appear

  4. Choose the template you want to go for, and it will appear on your page

The first tip is always to name your Wix Form appropriately so that the responses and the actions on the form are identifiable.


Form Submission Notification

What Happens After Someone Submits A Form?


Once users submit a form, they need to have a determined path concerned with what they need to do next.

This is where automation comes in. You can determine the right triggers for what your users have to do once they’re done filling and submitting the form.

Communicating With Your Users


So that is how you can create a form and direct your users to the desired action you want them to take. The Wix automation tools make the entire process much more organized and streamlined in more than one way.


While it lets your audience know about the next step, it also exudes a sense of professionalism and seriousness towards your business.
