Can I install [tool or integration] on my website hosted with Webflow CMS Plan?

TL;DR
  • Webflow CMS Plan allows adding third-party tools using custom code embeds (e.g., Google Analytics, Calendly) and API integrations via platforms like Zapier or Make.
  • Server-side scripts aren't supported, and e-commerce or membership features require third-party services or a higher-tier plan.

You can install many third-party tools and integrations on a Webflow CMS Plan, but there are limitations depending on the integration type. Here's a breakdown to help clarify what’s supported.

1. Use of Custom Code Is Allowed on CMS Plan

  • The CMS plan supports adding custom code in the Project Settings (Site-wide) and within individual Pages.
  • You can insert tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, Chat widgets, Calendly, and similar by embedding their script snippet into the Page Settings → Footer Code or Project Settings → Custom Code.

2. Limitations on Backend or Server-Side Integrations

  • Webflow is a static+CMS platform, so it does not allow backend scripting (PHP, Node.js, etc.).
  • Tools that require server-side processing or hosting files/scripts on the server won’t work unless you connect them through external platforms or APIs.

3. Use Webflow CMS with Third-Party Automation Tools

  • You can connect Webflow CMS to tools like Zapier, Make (Integromat), or Pabbly to automate content imports, form submissions, or updates.
  • These tools use the Webflow API, which is fully accessible on the CMS Plan.

4. E-commerce and Membership Tools

  • E-commerce features are not included with the CMS Plan; you'll need an Ecommerce plan.
  • For memberships, third-party tools like Memberstack, Outseta, or Firebase Auth can be embedded via custom code, and they work with the CMS plan.

Summary

Yes, with a Webflow CMS Plan, you can install many third-party tools via custom code embeds and API integrations, but tools requiring server-side functionality or e-commerce/membership systems may need external platforms or an upgrade to a higher plan.
