Integrating External Data & Systems

Integrating Systems

Need to integrate something like a real-estate listings system into Webflow?

Start by looking at its integration options and API.

In general you have 5 approaches;

• Use some integration widgets that you drop into Embeds, primarily
• CMS + external automation. If the Webflow + CMS is suitable for the build, and you just need data, you might be able to automate updating the CMS through the API using tools like Whalesync, Zapier, Make, etc.
• Use custom JS and a middle tier to make calls, pull the data and render it on page
• Reverse proxy. Connection directly to Propstack API or scrape pages, meld that into WF pages, create awesomeness
• Export. Export your webflow HTML, and build an app that directly integrates propstack data in some way.

In general, these are ordered least to most effort, and least to most capability.
