Implementing User-Specific API Calls in Webflow After Login

App Developers
1

I want to set up a sign-up and login system in Webflow. Where once a user successfully logs in, I want them to be able to make an API call to an external service ---- and this API call needs to include a specific user information, such as their user ID ( unique to the logged in user ).

For example, if user_1 logs in and their user ID is 1234, then the API request should send this user ID (1234) along with the call.

Is it possible to implement this functionality in Webflow, and if so, what steps are involved to achieve it ?

Please explain in detail.

Webflow doesn’t support this natively.

  • No event triggers related to login events
  • No client-side access to the User ID of the logged in user

I’ve built the infrastructure needed to do this and it’s quite substantial. I wouldn’t generally recommend that path unless you have a very skilled technical team and a solid sysops crew.

I’d recommend you look into Memberstack for this.
