Automate Webflow Comments with Make.com

Using make.com, you can turn Webflow comments into powerful workflow triggers that keep your team aligned, your content moving, and your processes fully traceable.

This how-to guide walks you through building an automation that captures comments from the Webflow Designer and routes them to the tools your team uses every day.

Why connect Webflow comments with make.com?

Webflow comments are perfect for design and content collaboration, but they often stay isolated inside the Webflow interface. By integrating them with make.com, you can push those comments into the project and communication tools where your team already works.

With an automated flow, you can:

Centralize feedback from Webflow in tools like Slack, email, or task managers.
Keep collaborators updated in real time when comments change state.
Reduce manual copying, pasting, and status checks.
Maintain a verifiable history of decisions and approvals.

This guide focuses on the Webflow comments & reviews workflow and shows how make.com fits in as the automation hub.

Prerequisites for your make.com Webflow automation

Before building the scenario, make sure you have the following in place:

An active Webflow account with a site that uses the Comments & Reviews feature.
A make.com account with access to create new scenarios.
Access to any external tools you plan to connect (for example Slack, email, or a task manager).
Basic familiarity with navigating both Webflow and make.com.

Once these are ready, you can start creating your first Webflow comments scenario.

Step 1: Plan your Webflow and make.com workflow

Before opening make.com, outline what you want to happen whenever a comment is created or updated in Webflow. Clear intent will save you time during setup.

Consider questions like:

Which Webflow site or specific project will drive this automation?
Should the automation react to new comments, resolved comments, or both?
Who needs to be notified and in which tool?
Do you need to create tasks, send messages, or update records?

Example planning outcomes:

New comment → send a Slack message to a content channel.
Comment resolved → mark a related task as done in your task manager.
New reply → email a specific stakeholder for review.

With your workflow mapped, you are ready to build it in make.com.

Step 2: Create a new scenario in make.com

Now you can build the automation scenario that listens to Webflow comments and triggers downstream actions.

Log in to your make.com dashboard.
Click Create a new scenario.
On the scenario canvas, click the big + icon to add your first module.
Search for the Webflow app and select it.
Choose the most relevant trigger for comments or events related to Webflow comments & reviews.

At this point, you have a blank automation that is ready to connect to Webflow and react to comment activity.

Step 3: Connect Webflow to make.com

To let make.com read Webflow comments, you need to authorize the connection between both platforms.

In the Webflow module inside make.com, click Add or Connect to create a new Webflow connection.
A new window will open and redirect you to Webflow, where you will be prompted to log in (if you are not already).
Grant access so that make.com can read comments and related project data for the selected site.
Confirm the connection and return to the scenario canvas.
Select the site or project where comments should trigger your automation.

After this, the Webflow module should be authorized, and make.com can start receiving data about comments in your chosen project.

Step 4: Choose your Webflow comments trigger

Different comment events can start different flows. Within the Webflow module on make.com, choose which type of comment activity you want to listen for.

Common options include:

New comment created on a page or element.
Comment status updated (for example, from open to resolved).
New reply added to an existing comment thread.

Once you select the trigger, configure any filters such as:

Include comments only from a specific page or folder.
React only to comments with a certain status.
Trigger only when a comment contains a specific tag or keyword.

These filters help you keep the make.com automation focused on the comments that matter most to your content and design workflow.

Step 5: Add actions in make.com for your team tools

With the Webflow trigger configured, you can now define what happens when a comment event occurs. This is where the flexibility of make.com becomes most valuable.

Typical actions include:

Sending a message to a Slack channel for new comments.
Creating a task in a project management tool with the comment text and a link to the Webflow element.
Sending an email to stakeholders when comments are resolved or updated.
Logging comment details in a spreadsheet or database for reporting.

To add actions in make.com:

Click the + icon to add another module after the Webflow trigger.
Search for the app you want to connect, such as Slack, Gmail, ClickUp, or another tool.
Select the appropriate action, for example Send a message or Create a task.
Map data from the Webflow trigger (comment text, author, URL, status) to the fields in the action module.

Repeat these steps to add as many actions as you need. A single Webflow comment can update multiple tools through make.com.

Step 6: Test and refine your make.com scenario

Before you rely on the automation in production, run tests so you know everything works as expected.

In Webflow, create a test comment or change the status of an existing one.
In make.com, click Run once to execute the scenario and watch how modules behave.
Check each output: confirm that messages, tasks, or emails contain the correct comment text and links.
If something is missing or misformatted, adjust the field mappings in the modules.

Continue iterating until the scenario behaves consistently. Once you are satisfied, switch the scenario from testing to live operation and set the schedule to run automatically.

Step 7: Extend your Webflow and make.com workflows

After your basic comments workflow is running smoothly, you can expand it with more advanced logic using make.com.

Use filters and routers in make.com

Filters and routers let you route different kinds of comments to different destinations. For example:

Send design-related comments to one Slack channel and copy-related comments to another.
Route comments from specific collaborators directly into a review queue.
Skip notifications for comments that are created by bots or internal users.

Combine Webflow comments with other data in make.com

You can merge Webflow comment data with information from other tools to get more context.

Enrich comment records with author roles from your CRM.
Match Webflow pages with campaign data stored in a spreadsheet.
Trigger follow-up workflows when a comment is resolved, such as publishing content or updating a changelog.

This type of multi-app orchestration is where make.com becomes a central layer across your content operations.
