Does Webflow have an integration or feature available for website commenting?
TL;DR
- Embed third-party tools like Disqus or Hyvor Talk in Webflow using the Embed element for quick comment integration.
- For a custom solution, combine Webflow CMS, forms, and automation tools like Zapier to manage comments, optionally adding user authentication with Memberstack or Webflow Memberships.
Webflow does not have a built-in commenting system, but you can integrate third-party tools to enable comments on your site.
1. Use a Third-Party Commenting Platform
Webflow allows you to embed third-party tools that provide commenting functionality.
- Popular options include:
- Disqus: Offers rich moderation tools and is commonly used for blog comments.
- Hyvor Talk: A privacy-focused alternative to Disqus with similar features.
- Cactus Comments or Commento: Lightweight and privacy-first options.
- To implement: Get the embed code from the platform, then use an Embed element in Webflow to insert it where you want comments to appear.
2. Use Webflow CMS with Custom Tools
If you need a more customized solution:
- Use Webflow CMS to structure user-submitted content.
- Pair it with a form and Zapier or Make to capture comments and push them into your CMS.
- This method requires manual approval workflow and is not real-time.
3. Consider Membership & Auth Solutions
If you want authenticated comments:
- Use Memberstack, Outseta, or Webflow Memberships (Beta) for gated content and user authentication.
- Combine with a CMS and an approved form submission setup for limited commenting features.
Summary
Webflow doesn't offer native commenting, but you can use embed tools like Disqus or Hyvor Talk for a plug-and-play solution, or build a custom flow using Webflow CMS and automation tools if you need more control.
