How can I import and display event registration data from Airtable into a custom dashboard on Webflow, while ensuring that only registrations specific to each company's event are shown?

To import and display event registration data from Airtable in Webflow by company-specific event, you’ll need to integrate Webflow with Airtable through a secure filtering mechanism using tools like Make (Integromat), Zapier, or custom JavaScript with Airtable API.

1. Structure Airtable for Company-Specific Filtering

• Ensure your Airtable base includes these key fields:
• Company ID (or slug): A unique identifier for each company.
• Event ID or Name: Tied to that company's event.
• Registrant Data: Name, email, etc.
• Each record should relate to a specific company and their event.

2. Securely Filter Data Per Logged-In Company

• Webflow lacks native user authentication linked to Airtable, so use one of the following:
• Memberstack, Outseta, or Webflow Memberships to gate content uniquely per company login.
• Pass a Company ID to your dashboard page via user metadata or custom attributes.

3. Use Make (Integromat) or Zapier for Dynamic Sync (Optional)

• If you want to sync Airtable data into Webflow CMS:
• Trigger: On new or updated Airtable registration.
• Action: Create/update a CMS item in a Webflow collection, include the Company ID as a field.
• On your Webflow dashboard, filter CMS list by Company ID using conditional visibility.
• Downside: Not real-time; data is synced at intervals (e.g., every 15 mins).

4. Display Live Airtable Data in Webflow via API + JavaScript

• Use Airtable’s REST API to fetch filtered records client-side:
• Create a dedicated page for each company, or use user attributes via a membership tool to dynamically insert their Company ID into the fetch request.
• Filter records using formula parameter in URL:
  • Example: ?filterByFormula={CompanyID}='xyz_corp'
• Use JavaScript (JS) to:
  • Fetch filtered registrations.
  • Render them into custom HTML elements (e.g., tables, cards).
• This keeps dashboard data live and dynamic, but take care with API Key security (use a proxy, or only serve non-sensitive data).

5. Keep Airtable API Keys Secure (Important)

• Airtable API keys should never be exposed in client-side JS.
• Use Webflow + Xano, Firebase Functions, or another backend/proxy to authenticate and query data securely.

6. Use Webflow CMS for Controlled Display (Optional Hybrid)

• As an alternative to JS rendering:
• Sync filtered Airtable data into Webflow CMS collections—Company, Events, and Registrations.
• Create reference fields (e.g., Registration → Event → Company).
• Apply collection filtering and conditional visibility to show only relevant data for logged-in users.

Summary

To display company-specific Airtable registration data in Webflow, either:

• Sync with CMS and filter by Company ID (best for static dashboards), or
• Use Airtable API + JavaScript with user-specific filtering (best for live dashboards).
  Always secure API keys and consider using membership tools like Memberstack to protect and personalize the dashboard content.
