Connect webflow to third-party apps with Zapier - Webflow help

Before you get started

If you haven’t already, create a Zapier account. If you’re a Webflow customer affected by the deprecation of Logic and you’re signing up for a new Zapier account, you may be eligible for a special discount from Zapier.

How Zapier works

A connection in Zapier is called a “Zap.” Every Zap begins with a Trigger (an event in an app) and leads to an Action (automation performed in another app).

Example: Trigger — New spreadsheet row is added. Action — Zapier creates a new CMS item in Webflow.
