Can Webflow display the user's name on a page upon login? Is it true that there is no access to logged-in user session and information in Webflow? How can I make the user's name appear on the home page after login? Additionally, for a fitness management site, can coaches view a list of athletes associated with their user ID only? Can I use a third-party tool or integration like Logic to achieve this?

Webflow does not natively support dynamic access to logged-in user session data, such as displaying a user's name or filtering CMS content by user ID. However, workarounds using third-party tools can achieve this functionality.

1. Webflow's Limitations with Logged-in User Data

• Webflow does not expose logged-in user session variables (like user name, ID, or email) in its Designer or CMS.
• You cannot natively display a user's name upon login or filter CMS content by user attributes.
• Webflow Memberships only controls access to pages and content based on user roles, not personalized in-page logic.

2. Workarounds to Display User Name After Login

To display the user's name after login, you must use a workaround like custom code or a third-party authentication system:

• Use Memberstack or Outseta, which allow you to:
• Log in users and expose user data via JavaScript API.
• Embed the user's name directly into the page using custom elements like span with class data-ms-member="name" in Memberstack.
• Example strategy:
• Embed a custom HTML element like <span data-ms-member="name"></span>.
• Use JavaScript provided by the third-party to populate this with the logged-in user's name.

3. Displaying Athlete Data to Coaches (Filtered by User)

For showing filtered data (e.g., a coach sees only their own athletes), you cannot use native Webflow CMS as it doesn’t support user-based content filtering.

• Use Airtable + Jetboost/Memberstack/Make/Zapier to build the logic:
• Store athletes in Airtable, each linked to a specific coach's user ID or email.
• Use Make (Integromat) or Zapier to sync new users from Memberstack to Airtable or vice versa.
• Use Jetboost (Dynamic Filtering) or Wized (recommended for user-specific logic) to filter content shown on a Webflow page based on logged-in user ID.

4. Using Webflow Logic

• Webflow Logic currently does NOT support reading user session details or customizing content based on user identity.
• Logic can automate workflows like sending emails or creating CMS items, but it's not built for user-specific personalization or dynamic filtering based on logged-in users.

Summary

Webflow alone cannot access or display logged-in user data or filter CMS content by user. To show a user’s name or restrict content (like athletes per coach), use third-party tools such as Memberstack (for login and personalization) and Wized/Airtable (for dynamic data filtering). Webflow Logic is not currently capable of this use case.
