From my research, I need something to crawl the metadata. Is this something that needs to be coded by hand? The above images are using Slack’s “unfurl” feature to crawl the metadata. Facebook does this with OpenGraph. Zapier almost looks like it can do this, but the only integration that looks right (Apify) requires significant coding skills.
I almost want to copy what Slack does, but I don’t know how to get that metadata out to Webflow.
Thank you, webdev! That’s not a bad idea, actually, and it saves a lot of time!
I had been looking for a CMS/form integration (as it’s mostly user-generated content), but I’ve also just realized that Webflow Forms and Webflow CMS have actually zero connection: they have nothing to do with each other, i.e. a submitted Form → New CMS item. So, perhaps I’m also in the wrong court, too.
I did find a Zapier workflow to get Webflow Forms → Slack Messages for Metadata extraction → Webflow CMS, for what it’s worth.
Zapier takes the Webflow form submission’s URL, sends that URL to a private Slack channel, and then Zapier takes the metadata from Slack and adds it back into Webflow’s CMS.
May i ask how you set up your Zapier to pull the metadata from Slack back into webflow CMS? Building a side project at the moment that requires the exact same thing, but wasn’t sure how you may have set this up!
