To get effective help with custom code, embed code, or third-party integrations in Webflow, you'll want to prepare and share specific information. Here's how to do it:
1. Share Your Webflow Project URLs
- Read-Only Link: This lets others preview your Webflow project. Go to Project Settings > General > Share Read-Only Link and copy the URL.
- Published Site Link: Provide the live site URL so others can test the functionality as a visitor.
2. Include Custom or Embedded Code Details
- Copy and paste your custom code snippets (e.g., from Page Settings, Site Settings, Embed elements).
- Mention the location of your code (e.g., inside the
<head>
, before the </body>
tag, or inside an Embed component). - Remove API keys or credentials before sharing.
3. Describe the Desired Outcome
- Clearly explain what you are trying to achieve (e.g., embed a calendar, connect a chatbot, show/hide elements with scroll).
- Link to a working example or third-party plugin demo, if possible, to illustrate the desired behavior.
4. Share Visual Aids
- Attach screenshots or a Loom video to give visual context to your issue.
- Show exactly what’s broken or not displaying correctly in the layout or behavior.
5. Include Console Logs and Errors
- Open your browser's developer tools (usually F12 or right-click > Inspect > Console).
- Copy and paste or screenshot any errors or warnings related to your script or plugin.
6. Tag Forum Helpers When Posting
- Use the @username format to tag Webflow community helpers if you know who has experience in that area.
- This helps notify users who might give faster or more targeted answers.
Summary
When asking for help with custom code or integrations in Webflow, include your Read-Only and live links, clear problem description, embed code, error messages, and visuals. This gives others everything they need to replicate and troubleshoot your issue.
