Capture form data with the Input Component in Framer
Learn how to capture form data with the Input Component in Framer. The Input Component allows you to easily capture email signups on your sites. You will configure the Component and its Variants, then test the interaction across breakpoints. Keep labels, links, and states clear before you reuse it on your site in Framer.
Lesson details
Add the Input Component to the form, choose the correct field type, and connect its name and value to the submitted data. Configure labels, placeholders, required state, autocomplete, and validation so the collected value has a clear meaning.
Submit test entries and inspect the destination to confirm field names and values arrive as expected. Check keyboard navigation, autofill, mobile keyboards, and error feedback before using the form on a live page.
Keep shared behavior in the Component and page-specific choices in its exposed properties. That boundary lets you improve every instance without removing the control each page needs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I capture form data with the Input Component in Framer?
Learn how to capture form data with the Input Component in Framer. The Input Component allows you to easily capture email signups on your sites. You will configure the Component and its Variants, then test the interaction across breakpoints. Keep labels, links, and states clear before you reuse it on your site in Framer.
What does this lesson cover?
The lesson covers the settings and steps used to capture form data with the Input Component in Framer. You will configure the Component and its Variants, then test the interaction across breakpoints. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.
Should I build this interaction as a Component?
Use a Component when the same interface or interaction appears more than once. Components keep structure and styling consistent, while Variants can represent states such as open, closed, hover, or pressed. Test each state and confirm that instance content still fits across breakpoints.
Will this Component work across breakpoints?
It can, but you should test each Variant and interaction state at wide and narrow widths. Check labels, tap targets, overlays, and content wrapping. Adjust the Component layout or instance content when a state no longer fits the available space.
What should I review after I capture form data with the Input Component in Framer?
Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
