Hi, I have a problem to integrate my Webflow with Zapier to send form data into CMS.
There is a problem with “slug” field, because this option is a required field.
I use Webflow tutorial to do it correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8zl6qLbm3k (10-18 min) and everything seems well-done.
I’ve just realized that slug field is required now and I can’t delete it.
I’ve attached a screenshot from Zapier. @PixelGeek or @brryant do you have any idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Why not just provide a dummy slug field? Create a randomized value to it or whatever… It doesn’t need to be meaningful to you , but slugs are a core part of collection pages, even if you don’t plan on having them.
A nice alternative I’ve found is Basin https://usebasin.com
I’m using on exported and hosted sites. This is the post I followed for integration and it was pretty easy and used Webflow form tools.
Of course it’s one more thing to sign up for First from is free though and good for testing before purchasing.
I also get problems with the slug, but sometimes i don’t.
I’ve reformatted it with Zapier with “url-encode” and also “lowercase” but on some items it just doesn’t work.
What is wrong? What are the exact requirements for the slug?
I was running into this issue and the Webflow support was able to provide a solution. Essentially, you need to change the name of the slug field to just “Slug” for the particular collection you are including in the Zap. The Webflow team made a video to explain:
If you create a CMS Item in Webflow and leave the slug field empty, Webflow will automatically generate a slug for you based on the item’s name or title. That should be solve the problem. Just test it :)
