Automate Webflow

Webflow sites collect form entries, take ecommerce orders and hold CMS collections that need regular care. ClickRuntime picks up those events as they happen and sends them to your inbox or a Slack channel, so a lead or an order never sits unseen in the Designer. Describe the job to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: whenever someone submits the Contact form on my Webflow site, email me their name, email, company and message.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Build your own

Build any Webflow automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Webflow should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.
  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

When a Webflow form is submitted, have AI decide whether it is a sales lead, support question or spam, and only send me sales leads.

When someone submits a Webflow form, add the entry to Google Sheets with the page it came from and the submission time.

When a new Webflow ecommerce order arrives, add it to Google Sheets, post the order total in Slack, and email the customer a thank-you through Gmail.

Works with

Webflow with the apps you already use

Webflow is where visitors arrive; the follow-up usually happens somewhere else. Linking it to a spreadsheet lets you plan pages and content in rows and have the site catch up.

Webflow works with hundreds of other apps

Name any of them when you ask your assistant, and your automation connects them. Over 248 apps are ready to go, and anything with an API works too.

  • Slack
  • Gmail
  • HubSpot
  • Mailchimp
  • Airtable
  • Notion
  • Stripe
  • Typeform
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Search Console
  • Salesforce
  • Pipedrive
  • Klaviyo
  • Discord
  • Trello
  • Calendly
  • OpenAI
  • Cloudinary

Beyond chat

Have Webflow work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Webflow to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Webflow

Webflow connects with a site API token that a site admin generates in the site's own settings. Each token covers one site, and you choose read or write access per API.

Webflow

CMS / Website builder

  1. Open your site in Webflow and go to Site settings, then Apps & integrations.
  2. Under API access, choose Generate API token and give it a name.
  3. Set the permission for each API to none, read or read and write, for example read on Forms and read on Ecommerce.
  4. Copy the token, then save it as a secret on Connections & secrets in the ClickRuntime dashboard.

Good to know

Webflow limits that affect automations

  • A site token works for one site only. Connect each site with its own token.
  • A site can have at most 5 tokens, so remove old ones you no longer use before creating another.
  • A token expires after 365 days without use. An automation that runs regularly keeps it active.
  • Site tokens cannot reach Webflow's authorization or custom-code endpoints, so automations cannot change site-wide custom code.
  • Request limits depend on your Webflow plan, from 60 to 120 requests per minute. Bulk CMS changes take longer on plans with the lower limit.

FAQ

Questions about automating Webflow

Which parts of my Webflow site can ClickRuntime reach?
Only the site the token belongs to, and only the APIs you gave it access to. With Forms set to read it can see submissions; with Ecommerce set to read it can see orders. It cannot touch custom code on the site.
Do form and order alerts arrive straight away?
Yes. These automations use Webflow webhooks, so a submission or order is passed on as soon as Webflow sends it rather than on a timer.
Do order alerts need a particular Webflow plan?
Yes. Orders only exist on sites with Webflow Ecommerce, so the order alert needs an ecommerce plan on that site.
I run several Webflow sites. Can one connection cover them all?
No. Webflow site tokens are tied to a single site, so you add one token per site and say in your request which site an automation should use.
Is AI needed for these Webflow automations?
No. Passing on forms, orders and comments works without AI. If you later want summaries or rewritten content, the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan handles it, with no AI key of your own.
Is this a Webflow connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Webflow data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Webflow while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Webflow event.
