Yes, in Webflow you can dynamically insert the user's first name, last name, and CRM ID into a form without the user having to type anything themselves. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Set up a website with a form: Firstly, create a form on your website using the Webflow form feature. Add input fields for first name, last name, and CRM ID.

  2. Collect user information: To dynamically insert the user's information, you will need to collect their details. You can use a combination of Webflow's native form submission and a third-party service like Zapier or Integromat to achieve this.

  3. Integrate with a CRM: Connect your Webflow form to your CRM using either Zapier or Integromat. These integration platforms allow you to create workflows that automate the process of sending form submissions to your CRM.

  4. Map form fields to CRM fields: When setting up the integration, make sure to map the form fields (first name, last name, CRM ID) to the corresponding fields in your CRM. This ensures that the data collected from the form is correctly inserted into the CRM.

  5. Fetch user information: To automatically insert the user's information into the form, you'll need to fetch their details from the CRM. This can be done by setting up a custom code snippet or using Webflow's API.

  6. Use custom code and CMS: With custom code, you can fetch the user's information from the CRM and insert it into the form fields dynamically. If you are using Webflow CMS, you can store the user's information as CMS items and dynamically retrieve and populate the form fields with that data.

By following these steps, you can dynamically insert the user's first name, last name, and CRM ID into the form without them having to type anything themselves in Webflow. This provides a seamless experience for your users and ensures accurate data collection for your CRM.
