Is there a way to use Zapier to redirect a user to their recently created CMS entry in Webflow by getting the slug from that record, when the slug is accessible in Airtable/Webflow?
Yes, you can use Zapier to redirect a user to their recently created CMS entry in Webflow by getting the slug from that record when the slug is accessible in Airtable or Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:
Start by setting up a webhook trigger in Zapier. This will allow you to listen for new records being created in Airtable.
Connect your Airtable account to Zapier and select the table and view that contain the CMS entries.
Configure the webhook trigger to watch for new records being created in Airtable.
Once the webhook trigger is set up, Zapier will provide you with a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it in the next step.
In your Airtable base, create a new automation using the "Automations" feature. Choose the trigger "Record Created" and select the table and view that contain the CMS entries.
In the automation configuration, choose the action "Send a webhook" and paste the webhook URL that Zapier provided earlier.
Save the automation in Airtable and ensure that it is enabled.
Switch back to Zapier and add a new action step. Choose the "Webflow" app as the action app.
Connect your Webflow account to Zapier and choose the "Redirect Visitor" action.
In the "Redirect Visitor" action settings, you will need to provide the "Site ID" and "Redirect URL". You can find your Webflow site ID in the site settings.
To dynamically generate the redirect URL based on the recently created CMS entry's slug, map the slug field from the Airtable trigger to the "Slug" field in the Webflow action.
Once you have configured the redirect options, test your zap to ensure that the redirect functionality is working as expected.
Now, whenever a new CMS entry is created in Airtable, your zap will be triggered, and the user will be redirected to the corresponding entry in Webflow using the slug from the record.
