To integrate ConvertKit with Webflow without using Zapier, you can utilize ConvertKit's API directly. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:
Step 1: Obtain your ConvertKit API key
To access ConvertKit's API, you'll need an API key. In ConvertKit, go to Account Settings, and under the API keys section, generate a new API key if you haven't already.
Step 2: Set up your form in Webflow
In Webflow, create your form using form elements like text fields, checkboxes, etc. Make sure you have an email field that captures the subscriber's email address.
Step 3: Add custom code to your Webflow site
In Webflow, go to the page where your form is located and add a custom code embed element. Inside the embed element, you'll write JavaScript code to handle the form submission and communicate with the ConvertKit API.
Here's an example code snippet to get you started:
```html
```
Make sure to replace `'your-form-id'` with the actual form ID, `'your-convertkit-api-key'` with your ConvertKit API key, and adjust the email field name as necessary.
Step 4: Connect the form to the JavaScript code
To connect the form to the JavaScript code, assign an ID to your form element (e.g., `id="your-form-id"`) and replace the corresponding value in the JavaScript code (`const form = document.getElementById('your-form-id');`).
Step 5: Test your form
Preview your Webflow site and test the form submission. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the subscriber added successfully message in the browser console when you submit the form.
Remember to replace the success and error alert messages with your desired actions, such as displaying a success message or redirecting to another page.
This approach allows you to integrate ConvertKit with Webflow directly, without relying on Zapier.
