About this Module

The Webform module is a form builder and submission manager for Drupal 8.

The primary use case for this module is to:

  • Build a new webform or duplicate an existing template
  • Publish the webform as a page, node, or block
  • Collect submissions
  • Send confirmations and notifications
  • Review submissions online
  • Download submissions as a CSV

Goals

  • A comprehensive form and survey building solution for Drupal 8.
  • A stable, maintainable, and tested API for building forms and handling submission.
  • A pluggable/extensible API for custom form elements and submission handling.

Installing the Webform Module

  2. Enable the 'Webform' module and desired sub-modules in 'Extend'. (/admin/modules)

  3. Set up user permissions. (/admin/people/permissions#module-webform)

  4. Build a new webform (/admin/structure/webform) or duplicate an existing template (/admin/structure/webform/templates).

  5. Publish your webform as a:

    • Page: By linking to the published webform. (/webform/contact)

    • Node: By creating a new node that references the webform. (/node/add/webform)

    • Block: By placing a Webform block on your site. (/admin/structure/block)

  6. (optional) Install third party libraries(/admin/help/webform).

  7. (optional) Install add-on contrib modules](/admin/structure/webform/addons).

Releases

Even though the Webform module is still under active development with regular beta releases, all existing configuration and submission data will be maintained and updated between releases. APIs can and will be changing while this module moves from beta releases to a final release candidate.

Simply put, if you install and use the Webform module out of the box AS-IS, you should be okay. Once you start extending webforms with plugins, altering hooks, and overriding templates, you will need to read each release's notes and assume that things will be changing.

    The Contact module allows site visitors to send emails to other authenticated users and to the site administrator. The Contact Storage module provides storage for Contact messages which are fully-fledged entities in Drupal 8. Many of its features are likely to be moved into Drupal Core.

  • Eform
    The EForm module enables you to create front-end webforms (fieldable entities), which contain fields that you define! These webforms use the standard Drupal fields.
