Webflow is a popular low-code or no-code platform that allows you to design and launch websites without the need for extensive coding knowledge. However, sometimes you may want to integrate third-party software into your Webflow site to enhance its functionality. In this blog post, we will explore how you can use Zapier to achieve this.
What is Zapier?
Zapier is a cloud-based automation tool that allows you to connect different web applications and automate workflows between them. It supports over 2,000 apps, including popular ones such as Gmail, Slack, Trello, and Shopify. With Zapier, you can create automated workflows, known as Zaps, that trigger actions in one app based on events in another app.
How to Integrate 3rd Party Softwares with Webflow using Zapier
- First, sign up for a Zapier account if you haven't already done so. Zapier offers a free plan that allows you to create up to 5 Zaps.
- Once you've signed up, navigate to the Webflow app page on Zapier and click on the "Make a Zap" button to create a new Zap.
- Choose your trigger app, which is the app that will initiate the workflow. For example, if you want to create a new contact in HubSpot whenever someone submits a form on your Webflow site, you would select Webflow as the trigger app.
- Follow the prompts to connect your Webflow account to Zapier. You will need to enter your Webflow API key, which you can find in your Webflow account settings.
- Choose your action app, which is the app that will perform the desired action based on the trigger event. In our example, the action app would be HubSpot.
- Follow the prompts to connect your HubSpot account to Zapier.
- Configure the Zap by setting up the trigger and action events. For example, you could set up the Zap to create a new contact in HubSpot with the information submitted in the Webflow form.
- Test the Zap to ensure it's working correctly.
