Getting started with Webflow Apps

An introduction into Webflow Apps - what they are, what they can do, and why you’ll want to build something great!

Webflow Apps give developers the power to extend Webflow’s capabilities, making it easier for Visual Designers and Marketing teams to streamline workflows and achieve better results.

App capabilities

Data Clients

Harness your site’s data
Sync CMS content, form submissions, and translations between Webflow and your favorite tools. Push blog posts to social media, send form responses to your CRM, and keep content in sync across platforms using Webflow’s Data APIs.

Designer Extensions

Supercharge the design workflow
Build extensions that automate complex design tasks in Webflow. Help users focus on creativity by streamlining repetitive work - from importing and transforming design assets to applying sophisticated styles and managing content updates across pages.

Hybrid Apps

Create seamless experiences
Combine the power of Data Clients and Designer Extensions to create comprehensive solutions. Build apps that seamlessly integrate content management through APIs while providing direct design controls in the Webflow Designer - giving users a unified experience to manage their entire workflow.

Start building

Ready to unleash the full potential of Webflow? Follow these steps to create and launch an app that enhances Webflow’s capabilities and wows users. Let’s get started!

1

Choose a development workspace

Start building apps in any workspace where you have Admin access - no special workspace is required to get started. When you’re ready to unlock premium features and APIs, apply for a Developer Workspace that gives you free access to build more advanced functionality for Webflow’s power users and teams.

2

Create your first app

Start building an app that integrates seamlessly with Webflow, enabling custom solutions that elevate user experiences. Register an App in Webflow to get started.

3

Tap into Webflow’s CMS Data

Access the power of Webflow’s CMS directly within your app. Dive into dynamic data, pull content on demand, and build experiences that adapt in real-time.

4

Transform the canvas with your app

Step into the Designer and start creating apps that interact directly with the Canvas. From manipulating styles to custom functionality, unleash the full potential of Webflow’s design environment.

5

Share your app

Publishing your app lets you share your creation with others. Launch publicly in the Webflow Marketplace to reach thousands of users and unlock monetization opportunities, or publish privately to create custom solutions for your organization and select clients. Whether public or private, your published app can transform how users work in Webflow.
