Yes, it is possible to send secured one-time links for digital downloads in Webflow by using Webflow's built-in password-protected pages feature. Here's how you can set up this functionality:

  1. Create a new password-protected page: In your Webflow project, go to the Pages panel and click on "Add Page." Select the "Password Protect" option and give your page a name.

  2. Set the password: After creating the page, click on the settings icon next to the page name in the Pages panel. Set a password that can be shared with the person you want to give access to the secure download link.

  3. Upload the digital file: On the password-protected page, you can add a download link to your digital file. To do this, select the text or image you want to turn into the download link and click on the "Link Settings" option. Choose the file you want to upload and specify the download link settings (e.g. Open in new tab or download to user’s device).

  4. Share the link: Once you've set up the password-protected page and uploaded the digital file, you can direct the person who should have access to the secure link to this page. Make sure to share the password with them separately.

When someone visits the password-protected page and enters the correct password, they will have access to the secured download link. This link can be used only once, providing an extra layer of security for your digital downloads.

By following these steps, you can send secured one-time links for digital downloads in Webflow without the need for third-party plugins or additional coding.
