How to Use Zapier With Webflow and Wix

Zapier makes it easy to automate tasks between Webflow, Wix, and the rest of your tools so you can focus on building a better website instead of manual busywork.

This how-to guide is inspired by the in-depth comparison of the two platforms in the Webflow vs. Wix article on Zapier. Here, you will learn practical steps to connect each builder to your automations and choose the best setup for your workflows.

Step 1: Choose Your Platform Before Connecting Zapier

Before you connect anything to Zapier, decide whether Webflow or Wix is right for the site you are building. Both are capable builders, but they suit different types of projects.

Match Webflow or Wix to Your Workflow

Use the following quick framework, based strictly on the distinctions highlighted in the Webflow vs. Wix comparison:

• Pick Webflow if you want advanced control over layout, CSS-like design flexibility, and the ability to create more custom, scalable websites.
• Pick Wix if you prefer a faster, template-driven setup with guided editing, especially for small business sites or simple portfolios.

Your choice determines how you will later use Zapier to automate forms, content, and marketing tasks.

Clarify Your Automation Goals for Zapier

Next, write down what you want automation to accomplish. This will drive the way you configure Zapier connections.

• Do you need to send form leads into a CRM or spreadsheet?
• Do you want to notify a team in chat when someone submits a quote request?
• Are you trying to sync blog content, products, or members between tools?

Having a short list of concrete outcomes will keep your Zapier workflows purposeful instead of experimental and random.

Step 2: Prepare Your Webflow or Wix Site for Zapier

Before you build automations, set up structure inside your platform that Zapier can reliably use.

Get Webflow Ready for Zapier

When using Webflow with Zapier, focus on clean content models and standardized inputs.

1. Define collections clearly. Use Collections for blogs, portfolios, or product-like content so Zapier can create or update items in a predictable way.
2. Standardize forms. Give form fields clear names (like email, company, budget) to make mapping to Zapier triggers easier.
3. Test publishing. Make sure your Webflow project is published so forms and CMS items can be reached by external tools.

Get Wix Ready for Zapier

When using Wix, the setup for a Zapier connection revolves around built-in apps and form configurations.

1. Enable contact forms. Use Wix Forms or a similar built-in app so submissions create structured data that Zapier can read.
2. Organize contacts. Use the Wix Contacts area to store leads consistently; this helps when using Zapier triggers based on new contacts.
3. Identify app data. If you use bookings, events, or stores, note which apps you rely on so you know what Zapier can automate around.

Step 3: Create a Zapier Account and Connect Apps

Once your builder is prepared, you are ready to create automations with Zapier that link Webflow or Wix to other tools.

Sign Up and Explore the Zapier Dashboard

1. Visit the Zapier homepage and create an account.
2. Open the dashboard and look for the search bar where you can find Webflow, Wix, and other apps.
3. Browse the templates related to website builders to see common automation ideas.

The interface is based around Zaps: automated workflows with a trigger and one or more actions.

Connect Webflow to Zapier

1. In the Zapier dashboard, search for Webflow and click to add the app.
2. Click Connect and authorize Zapier to access your Webflow account.
3. Choose your specific Webflow site or workspace during the connection process if prompted.

After connecting, you can use triggers like new form submissions or new CMS items and pair them with actions in other tools.

Connect Wix to Zapier

1. In the dashboard, search for Wix and select the available integration option.
2. Click Connect and log into your Wix account when asked.
3. Authorize access so Zapier can pull leads or other data from your Wix site.

Once complete, you are ready to create automations that react whenever visitors use your Wix site.

Step 4: Build Core Zapier Automations for Webflow

Now that Webflow is connected, start with essential automations that match the strengths described in the Webflow vs. Wix comparison.

Automate Webflow Forms With Zapier

1. Create a new Zap. Choose Webflow as the trigger app.
2. Select a trigger. Pick an event such as New Form Submission.
3. Choose your site. Select the Webflow project and form you configured earlier.
4. Add an action app. For example, send data to a CRM, spreadsheet, or email marketing platform.
5. Map fields. Connect form fields like name, email, and message to fields in the destination app.
6. Test and turn on. Run a test submission and then activate the Zap.

This Zapier setup ensures that leads from your Webflow site are captured and organized automatically.

Sync Webflow CMS Content With Zapier

1. Create another Zap. Use a Webflow CMS trigger, such as a new or updated item.
2. Connect to a content destination. Send the item to a database, doc, or messaging app for review.
3. Set filters. Use conditional logic to act only on certain categories or tags if needed.
4. Publish workflow. Optionally add an action that updates status in project management tools when a new Webflow item is published.

By doing this, Zapier helps keep your content workflow aligned with your editorial or marketing tools.

Step 5: Build Core Zapier Automations for Wix

Wix users can also use Zapier to automate lead capture and follow-up tasks.

Send Wix Form Leads to a CRM With Zapier

1. Create a Zap. Select Wix as the trigger app.
2. Choose the trigger. Use a new contact or new form submission event.
3. Select your Wix site. Pick the relevant site and form.
4. Add an action. Choose a CRM, spreadsheet, or email platform.
5. Map the fields. Connect contact details from Wix to fields in the target tool.
6. Test and enable. Run a test from your Wix form and turn the Zap on.

This kind of Zapier automation ensures every lead from Wix is captured in real time.

Notify Your Team About New Wix Activity

1. Build another Zap. Use the same Wix trigger for new contacts or bookings.
2. Select a messaging app. Connect Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email as the action app.
3. Compose the message. Include key fields such as name, email, and service requested.
4. Add filters. Only notify for certain types of leads if you want to reduce noise.

By routing these updates through Zapier, your team can respond faster to requests that come through your Wix site.

Step 6: Compare and Optimize Your Zapier Workflows

Once your automations are running, compare how well each builder works with Zapier in the context of your actual usage.

Evaluate Webflow vs Wix Automations With Zapier

• Data depth. Check whether Webflow or Wix is sending all the fields you need to Zapier.
• Reliability. Use Zap history to confirm triggers fire every time.
• Scalability. See which builder handles increasing form volume or CMS complexity more smoothly.

Use this information to refine your site structure or adjust how triggers and actions are configured in Zapier.

Iterate on Your Zapier Automation Strategy

Automation is not a one-time task. Revisit your workflow design regularly.

• Retire Zaps that no longer fit your funnel.
• Add new actions as your marketing stack grows.
• Consolidate similar workflows to reduce maintenance.

By applying the lessons from the Webflow vs. Wix comparison and aligning them with your automation goals, you will keep your Zapier setup lean and effective.
