This would be perfect for blog comments, product reviews etc.

I can't believe this is not possible - all this welcome to the future of no-code app and website creation and then you have no input fields for the embedded database or at least an API workaround to store the input in airtable or as such? WOW that future missed a massive train - even did catch the bus if you know what I mean...

Everything else is amazing - very well working and thought thru design tools but the database/collections are still weird they feel like half integrated.

It should be that I just can add an object and then decide if this is static or dynamic - output or input. That would be the future Iike no wait - love!!

It's limitations like this that will prevent people like me from moving to Webflow from Wordpress as much as we'd like to.

Absolutely necessary

Would be great! At the moment we use Zapier for this. You can connect webflow with salesforce, mailchimp, hubspot, ... Though it is again an extra account, extra subscription, extra hastle. Better would be if it would go directly..

Would make it very powerful. I need it too!

Yes! That is what I need!

@webflow This is much needed +3 Votes

@webflow, this has plenty of votes and has been a hot topic for over 3 yrs. Is the product team listening to the users? Without this feature I am back to build apps outside the platform.

This is a very important and needed feature. Please make it happen @webflow!

Spent all my votes on this basic CMS functionality...make it happen guys !

We need this and our clients need this !

I just assumed this would be possible.

I'm not sure if i got this right.. There is currently no way to directly insert, update or remove records into the collections database via form submission? Even if i export the code and run it on my own server, there is no way to get direct data exchange with my database server?

Please tell me there is a way. I thought i found new gold for web building but without db support it's just some kind of modern FrontPage.

This is so frustrating and disappointing, I might be forced to leave Webflow and find another solution, you can't build complex stuff without this functionality. And really why is it so hard?

First when using Zapier you have to pay 240 dollars per year and it's such an unnecessary time consuming thing to connect to your Zappier then to Webflow, second whenever you are using multi reference field, this whole thing becomes a total mess.

Webflow we need this right now.

We need this ASAP

I need this! Opens up so many possibilities.

Any update on this?

I am new to webflow, I have been building my websitea/apps without a builder for the last decade. I am very impressed with the platform, training and documentation. However from day one I have been looking for a solution to this exact problem.  I want to keep using Webflow, but the need to build the CMS outside the platform to enable user specific data management keeps steering me away.  I am spending all my votes on this feature.

Having to use a 3rd party platform to connect to your own CMS is idiotic.  I can't believe WebFlow hasn't come up with a solution yet, since WebFlow already does connect it's form data to the CMS, which you can view in the editor and settings.

I have clients I am considering moving away from WebFlow due to the increased monthly cost for using 3rd party apps (such as Zapier) and others. $45US/month for form file upload and then $15US/month for Zap. Other wen building platforms can facilitate these options for less.  It's 2020 and I feel this problem shouldn't exist. Hope there is a solution soon.
