This would be really good to have!!!

I was just looking at the CMS API to see if I could some how wire this up on my own. Makes so much sense. You could choose in a setting wether you want it to save as a draft or published item. All you need is the ability to link a web form field to a Collection field.

Also.. this would open up lots of possibilities with webflow. Tying in the ability to create front end users with user access control settings could be added and then you could essentially build you own web application to some extent. It would also allow you to build you own comments section on pages/ collections. Super powerful.

This would open the doors for building platforms in Webflow!

I guess I'll have to figure out something with the API for now. 

Since Adobe Business Catalyst announced its upcoming End of Life Ive been looking for a CMS with similar functionality. User submitted web apps (in webflow, 'collections') were a huge feature of Adobe BC and I know a lot of Partners (soon to be ex-partners) are looking for a platform that has this functionality. You could attract a great many new clients, as around 100K BC Partners are about to be homeless, some with 100s of sites.

I think this idea also insists a login system, and essentially turning Webflow into a lot of what Wordpress offers. Great idea, and I'm in full support. But I think later down the road when Webflow has a plugins API, we will see a way to implement this or something like it.

This is a great idea! Would love to know more about how you linked it up using Typeform and Zapier for the time being as many of us are needing this functionality for current projects.

What a great conversation going on here. 

I too came looking for this an added my +3 vote. 

I'll be connecting my current typeform up via Zapier but hope this comes soon as it seems like a pretty easy feature to add in comparison to other big items the team is working on. 

Keep up the good work Webflow. 

Much love

absolutely, would love this. 

This would be super helpful

Man, this really does seem like it would be simple to link for them. Doesn't require creating a login/app which they're reluctant to create at this stage. Plus its a great feature to motivate users to add hosting as its another reason to utilize webflow CMS. 

Can't wait for this. My zap keeps giving me issues as clients input different url formats. Here's a recent error from Zapier:

Http://www.Ashbeads.com

Seems fine to me. 

Any help would be great.

So many uses for this! Top of our community's wish list for sure!

This is a great idea! Would be needing this feature all the way :)

Could we get an update whether this is in the backlog or not? A very important feature for making platforms, as suggested by OP. :-)

@Webflow please comment on this. This is feature is a must. 

Commenting again. Hoping for an update @Webflow. 

Thanks

@Webflow any updates on this?

@webflow -> Update on this? Thanks all! 

It really bums me out that so many features are being added on the ecommerce front while this sits here with so many upvotes. 

I'm currently routing through typeform, then zapier, and it often breaks. 

Please consider adding this soon my friends. 

Thanks,

Josh 

Example - creating a job board could be done by using TypeForm to collect both the job description and the payment and this connected to Zapier could then update the Webflow cms.

However it would be amazing if all of this could be managed directly through Webflow - Webflow forms collect the data and update Webflow cms instantly. A 'pay' / 'make payment' element could be added to the form if integrated with Webflow ecommerce.

I cannot believe for the life of me why this feature wouldn't be added... I mean WTF.. its basic fundamentals... you need a front end from to populate the CMS... Do you not see the importance of this.. or what... so many people are asking ... Cmon guys.. this is fundamentals of creating a website with dynamic functionality... Are we supposed to keep using typeform and get constant errors ... or you going to actually come to the table and give your community what they need to move forward with good forms that work as they should.. 

I'd use this to allow clients to configure the product (services) and then at the same time be able to visually see what the result looks like. Think of an app as the product that has features you toggle on/off and the feature set is saved in a CMS Collection, and the client would use the form fields, switches to create an app.

No votes left, but I'd really like this too..

This would be great! Much needed

Hey @webflow. Can we please have an update on this? 

I definitely need this feature too!

When you say that you have set up a workaround through Typeform & Zapier, do you embed the Typeform form on the website with the embedded code field, or is it possible to change the form action to send the data to TypeForm (better for styling the form in Webflow)?

Hey @Julien V I embed the typeform onto the page with the embed code field. 

SERIUOUSLY  WEBFLOW SORT THIS OUT !!!, Seriously. I love using your platform and ive spent a lot of money buying into your service... but this one thing really gives me the shites that I have to use a thrid part to make this work... its clunky at best... This is the one thisng that Grinds me and makes me want to change back to WIX.. please don't make me do it ... I want to stay ... But you are leaving me no choice :( 

I just joined Webflow, built my lead generation page, and I come to this... very disappointing :(

@Webflow please add this asap

Very very powerful. Hope Webflow think about it. :)

Gotta have it - could push my organization to enterprise membership

User generated directories of any sort.  So much capability that takes Weblow from brochure site into a web app / MVP space... Bring it please 

Totally agree with others comments here and would also upvote if I had any left. Seems like a no-brainer to me and very much needed. 

Lol, almost 2 and a half years later since the original post, people still upvoting it to this day. Safe to say this isn't being added? Very unfortunate.

@webflow what happening here, seems to be in high demand. 

This is a deal breaker for a lot of scenarios

I can't adopt Webflow until this is implemented. +3
