Set the Webflow trigger as “New form submission”

A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.

Add the Webflow trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time there's a new form submission. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New form submission" from the dropdown menu under Webflow.

If you still need to connect your Webflow account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Add the “Create or update record” step in Airtable

Integrate Airtable automation into your playbook to automatically create a new record or update an existing one in Airtable every time there's a new form submission in Webflow.

Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Create or update record” automation for Airtable, and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Airtable account still needs to be connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Airtable account.

Activate your playbook

Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically create a new record or update an existing one in Airtable every time there's a new form submission in Webflow without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
