Where do Framer form submissions go?
Framer does not keep an inbox of submissions inside the editor. Every submission from a native Framer form is delivered to the destinations you chose for that form under Send To, and those destinations are the only place it exists. This page walks through each option, what it is good for, and how to check it.
The short answer
Select the form on the canvas and look under Send To in the right sidebar. Whatever is listed there is where your submissions go: an email address, a Google Sheet, a webhook URL, or a connected tool such as HubSpot or Mailchimp through a plugin. If nothing is listed, Framer uses a fallback email for the site.
Email: the default, and the easiest to lose
Add one or more addresses under Send To, then Email. Framer sends a notification for each submission, and you can customize the sender name, subject and body so the fields you care about appear first. It is the right choice for a contact form with a few messages a week.
The weaknesses: messages land in spam, several people need separate addresses (comma-separated, no spaces), and there is no list to search later. Treat email as the alert, not the archive.
Google Sheets: a lightweight database
Connect a Google account and each submission becomes a row, with a column per input. This is the cheapest way to keep every submission in one place you can search, filter and export. It is also the first thing to check when you suspect a submission went missing: look at the last row, and at the tab name if the sheet has several. The connection can expire when the Google account changes its password or revokes access, so glance at it after any account change.
Webhook: for developers and automation tools
A webhook sends each submission as JSON to a URL you provide. The keys are your input names, the values are what the visitor typed. Framer expects a 2xx response, does not follow redirects, and retries up to five times if your endpoint fails. You can set a secret so your server can verify the signature header.
This is the route behind Zapier and Make, which turn each submission into a task you pay for, and behind custom backends. Webhooks are invisible to the visitor: if the receiving end breaks, the form still shows success, so log what you receive.
Straight into your CRM or email tool
If the submission’s real destination is HubSpot, Mailchimp, Brevo, Beehiiv, MailerLite, Drip, Jotform, Slack or Discord, you can skip the middle steps. Framer Forms Connect delivers each submission to the tool the moment it is sent: a contact in HubSpot, a subscriber on a Brevo list, a message in a Slack channel. Nothing is stored in between, your form and its states stay as you designed them, and while you test, the plugin shows you exactly why a tool rejected a submission. Each tool has a two-minute guide, linked at the bottom of this page.
Can I see past submissions inside Framer?
No. As of September 2026 the editor has no submissions inbox: there is nothing to open and nothing to export. If you need an archive, add a Google Sheet as a second destination, or let your CRM keep the record. Some marketplace plugins keep their own inbox, but that inbox is theirs, not Framer’s, and it only holds what passed through them.
Can a form go to more than one place?
Yes. Send To accepts several destinations on the same form, so a common setup is email for the alert, a sheet for the archive, and a CRM for the follow-up. Add each one, publish, and test once with a value you will recognize.
Where did my test submission go?
Five places to look before you assume it was never sent:
The spam, Promotions and Updates folders of every recipient.
The last row of the sheet, on the right tab.
The pending or unconfirmed contacts in your email tool, waiting for a double opt-in.
The published site, not the editor: submissions from the canvas are not processed.
The Send To list of the form, which may be empty or pointing at an old address.
Where submissions go: FAQ
Does Framer store submissions on its servers?
Framer processes each submission and delivers it to your destinations. It does not offer a submissions list you can open, so for your own records keep a destination that stores them, such as a sheet or your CRM.
Do I need Zapier to send a Framer form to HubSpot or Mailchimp?
No. Framer Forms Connect connects the form directly, with no per-task fees and no automation to maintain. Zapier or Make make sense when one submission has to fan out to several tools you already automate.
Will the visitor get a confirmation email?
Not from Framer’s notification, which goes to you. Confirmation or welcome emails come from your email tool, such as a Mailchimp or Brevo automation that fires when the contact arrives.
