How can I integrate third party software with Webflow's Logic feature?

To integrate third-party software with Webflow Logic, you typically use connectors like Webhooks or HTTP Requests within Logic flows.

1. Understand Webflow Logic Capabilities

• Webflow Logic allows you to automate workflows based on triggers (e.g., form submissions, CMS events).
• It includes built-in actions like Send Email, Update CMS, and crucially Make HTTP Request, which is how you connect to third-party tools.

2. Choose the Integration Method

• Use Make HTTP Request to connect directly with APIs (e.g., Slack, Mailchimp, Airtable).
• Use Webhooks if the third-party service can notify Webflow Logic (as Webflow can trigger flows via form submissions).

3. Set Up the Flow in Webflow Logic

• Go to Project Settings > Logic > Create Flow.
• Choose a trigger, such as Form Submission.
• Add a Make HTTP Request action to connect to the third-party API.

4. Configure the HTTP Request

• Specify the Request Method (GET, POST, etc., depending on the integration).
• Define the URL endpoint of the third-party API.
• Add Headers if required (e.g., Authorization tokens).
• Include Body Data if needed, in JSON format.
• Use Variables from the trigger (e.g., form fields) to personalize your request.

5. Test and Debug

• Enable the "Show Response" option in the HTTP Action to see the output from the third-party service.
• Use this output in downstream conditions or actions to shape flow behavior.

6. Optional: Use Services Like Zapier or Make (Integromat)

• If the API is complex or unsupported, use tools like Zapier or Make, and connect Webflow via:
• Webhooks (send form data to Zapier/Make).
• Email Parsers (parse form notification emails).
• This allows more complex logic chaining between apps.

Summary

To integrate third-party software with Webflow Logic, trigger flows using form submissions or other built-in triggers, and use the Make HTTP Request action to interact with external APIs. For more flexibility or UI-driven configuration, tools like Zapier or Make can bridge the gap between Webflow and third-party platforms.
