Description
Learn how to connect Webflow forms with Airtable & Zapier. Learn how to integrate the forms, create a review process in Airtable for approval, and then update Webflow CMS automatically.
Overview
Airtable is a powerful tool for organizing and managing data. It offers many benefits over traditional tools like Google Sheets, including the ability to create complex database structures and to customize views and filters to quickly find and access the information you need.
In this tutorial, Aron Korenblit and Nelson Abalos Jr. show you how to integrate Airtable with Webflow, a popular website design and development platform. They begin by discussing the benefits of using Airtable over Google Sheets and then explain how to create an embeddable form in Webflow. They also discuss the pros and cons of using native Webflow forms versus embedded forms and provide an example of how to embed an Airtable form in Webflow.
Next, the authors show you how to create status fields for views in Airtable, which can be useful for tracking the progress of tasks or projects. They also explain how to set up a Zap (a tool provided by Zapier) to push new submissions from Airtable to your Webflow site automatically, based on the Airtable view you've created.
Finally, the authors demonstrate how to use the Webflow API and Zapier webhooks to update multi-reference fields in Webflow with data from Airtable. This can be a useful technique for ensuring that your website stays up-to-date with the latest information in your Airtable database. The tutorial also covers formatting techniques for Zapier webhooks and APIs to properly handle multi-reference fields.
