Is webflow suitable for creating user generated entries in a table?

Hi there!

Hope you guys are having a great friday :slight_smile:

I have an idea to receive data from users based on a form submitted along with register/login pages (so users can edit the data they submit)–basically just edit and delete functions.

As a result I’d like to display a table with all entries from users. They key thing here is to have filters & search options.

So there are only two questions:

1/ How hard is it to create something like this, and how the flow should look like? On paper (as I see it) the stack looks like this:

  • Tally (forms)
  • Memberstack (user signup)
  • Jetboost (filters and search)
  • Zapier or Integromat (pull/transfer data from forms to Webflow CMS)

2/ If the flow above is doable, do you think it’s possible to process hundreds of new entries daily without spending too much $ on that? I believe the amount of new entries can go very fast to thousands per day or even more.

I am looking into doing something similar to this. Did you have any success?

Hey Ben, you might need to be more specific.
In general it’s possible to use Memberships for this, in combination with some external automation, and a place to store your tabular data ( airtable, likely ).

But the specifics of what you’re trying to build, including scalability reqs, matters a lot…

Hi @tollady :wave: welcome to the forum. CC @StephenZ

What Stephan asked for is totally doable.

I’ve created a series of screencast showing you how to do it too. Here is the most prolific one:

It requires:

  • Webflow
  • Memberstack
  • Zapier (though now I’d use Make / Integromat instead)

A free Make (Integromat), Webflow, and Memberstack accounts will get you going. You’ll need to pay for Memberstack once you go live. You’ll need a paid Make & Webflow account once you scale.

Hope that helps!
