Have you ever wondered if a static WordPress site can still handle dynamic forms and powerful automations?
In this video, I demonstrate how I've successfully connected Craft Forms, FlowMattic, and my Response for CraftForms plugin to create a secure workflow that allows a static website to submit forms, trigger automations, and return dynamic responses.
I also show my latest lockdown approach for WordPress, where almost the entire backend is secured while exposing only the REST API endpoints needed for the workflow.
In this video you'll learn:
✅ How to use CraftForms on a static website
✅ How Response for CraftForms enables dynamic responses via JavaScript
✅ How FlowMattic automations can run from a static form submission
✅ Locking down WordPress while still allowing automation workflows
✅ Why static sites can still support dynamic functionality
✅ Future possibilities including Stripe payments and digital product delivery
This is still an experimental project, but it's already showing what's possible when you combine static front-ends with WordPress as a secure automation backend.
I'd love to hear your ideas and use cases—leave a comment below!
