Automating Event Name and Collection ID Input in Webflow CMS

Hello. I’ve created a website using Webflow, where my users can create their own wedding websites. They do this by filling out a form submission, which then becomes a CMS page, serving as their personal website. This was created using the following modules: Customer Webhook - Webhook Response - Webflow Create an Item - Webflow Update An Item - Airtable Create an Item - Webflow Publish an Item - Email Send an Email.

Now, I want to add a guest list feature to my customers’ CMS websites. I’ve made the form, which is accessible through the CMS template. I’ve managed to make it work, but it only functions if I manually enter the event name and the collection ID as a test user in the form.

I’m looking for a way to automatically input the event name and collection ID, so the user doesn’t have to do it themselves.

I had the same issue when doing the “Create website” scenario, because I need it to input the collection ID. I managed to do this with “Create item” because it then create a new collection ID. Now I dont need a new collection ID. I need to connect to the old one.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance.


Welcome to the Make community!

You’ll need some hidden form fields in the form on the webpage that passes the Item ID to your webhook so you know which guest list to update.

Can you provide more information, e.g. link to example event and guest list form?
