To automate the process of adding form submissions to a CMS collection in Webflow, you can make use of third-party integrations such as Zapier or Integromat. These tools allow you to create automated workflows between different applications, including connecting your Webflow site with a CMS collection.

Here are the steps to automate the process of adding form submissions to a CMS collection using Zapier or Integromat:

  1. Sign up for an account: First, you'll need to sign up for an account on either Zapier or Integromat, depending on your preference.

  2. Create a new Zap or Scenario: In Zapier, a workflow is called a "Zap," while in Integromat, it's referred to as a "Scenario." Create a new Zap or Scenario to start building your automation.

  3. Select trigger application: Choose the application that triggers the automation. In this case, select your form builder tool, such as Google Forms, Typeform, or others, and connect it to your account.

  4. Set up the trigger event: Configure the trigger event to capture form submissions. Specify the form you want to use and define the data fields you want to capture.

  5. Select Webflow as the action application: Choose Webflow as the action application for the automation. Connect it to your Webflow account, allowing the integration tool to access your site.

  6. Set up the action event: Configure the action event to add the form data to your Webflow CMS collection. Specify the collection and map the form fields to the CMS fields to ensure the data is stored correctly.

  7. Test the automation: Before activating the automation, test it to make sure everything is working as expected. Submit a test form and verify the data is being added to your CMS collection.

  8. Activate the automation: Once you're satisfied with the test results, activate the automation to start automatically adding form submissions to your Webflow CMS collection.

By using Zapier or Integromat, you can streamline and automate the process of adding form submissions to a CMS collection in Webflow, saving you time and effort.
