    Your website is one of your first touchpoints with your potential customers and therefore critical to converting them to customers. Gathering their information from your site’s forms and adding them into your funnels can take time that you simply don’t have.

    IFTTT will enable you to stay on top of every opportunity - without spending a second more than you need to - with automations that organize, prioritize, and engage your prospects. Use IFTTT to automatically capture lead data from your Webflow site’s latest form submissions and have it sent to your CRM and business apps like Pipedrive, Monday.com, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. This way, you can save time on data transfers and deal tracking and instead focus on creating a plan to win their business.

    In today’s digital world, email is one of the most effective ways to market what your business does and sells. IFTTT can automate your email marketing so you can grow your subscriber lists and drive sales without any extra effort. Use any of these automations that connect Webflow to email marketing apps like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and AWeber to automatically have new leads from your Webflow forms added as subscribers to your newsletters and drip campaigns. You can even create a workflow that automatically adds people who make a purchase from your site as subscribers to a Mailchimp list for welcome emails, thank-you emails, and more.

    Webflow makes building a website and managing your content easy, but IFTTT can simplify the web publishing process even further with automations that grab the content you want and publishes it to your Webflow site for you.
