You probably chose Webflow as your website builder because you're more of a creator than a coder. The platform makes designing, collaborating, and launching responsive websites simple, with no coding or dev help required.

But maintaining a website still involves a lot of technical details—like tracking forms submitted by customers and leads, creating new blog posts, and keeping all page elements up to date. And most of that work requires referencing information across your other most-used apps, which complicates things even further.

That's why a lot of Webflow users rely on Zapier's automated workflows (called Zaps) to streamline tasks and make the most out of their website. Here are a few popular Webflow automation ideas to help you save a whole lot of time—and technical headaches.

New to Zapier? It's workflow automation software that lets you focus on what matters. Combine user interfaces, data tables, and logic with thousands of apps to build and automate anything you can imagine. Sign up for free to use this app, and thousands more, with Zapier.

Archive your form submissions

If you collect information from leads or customers through a form on your website, it's a good idea to catalog submissions in a spreadsheet or database. Archiving important Webflow items like email subscribers, contacts, and more can help you keep track of every form submission so you can easily reference them in the future. 

 But as your web traffic grows, manually exporting and importing that data goes from tedious to simply unfeasible. These Zaps help you automatically store all your form submissions in the app of your choice, so you can forget about copying and pasting manually.

Organize and update your CMS items

Maintaining a website with Webflow involves regularly updating collection items like blog posts, authors, emails, and more. You'll probably get a lot of those update requests through Webflow's form submissions, but reviewing those submissions and then updating individual items takes a lot of work. 

Zapier can do the heavy lifting for you by either turning form submissions into published items, creating new collection items automatically, or creating new items for you to review later. It's a better way to keep your Webflow content organized and up to date within the CMS.
