Webflow + Make: The alternative to Zapier to automate your sites in 2025

Removing Webflow Logic in June 2025 forced thousands of users to look for alternatives to automate their sites. While everyone is rushing to Zapier, a lesser-known but more powerful European solution is emerging: Make.com.

The end of Webflow Logic: an opportunity in disguise

When Webflow announced the end of Logic, many saw it as a setback. In reality, it is an opportunity to discover tools for automation much more efficient than Logic was.

Logic users were limited to basic workflows: a submitted form triggers an email, a received order creates an entry CMS. These features, while useful, were superficial compared to what dedicated automation platforms offer.

Today, with Make.com or Zapier, you can create sophisticated automation systems that transform your Webflow site into a real commercial machine.

Why does Make.com outperform Zapier for Webflow

A decisive economic advantage

The price difference between Make and Zapier is striking. Where Zapier charges €117 per month for 10,000 transactions, Make offers its Core plan at €9 per month for the same volume. For the freelancers and small agencies, the annual savings exceed €1,200.

Make also offers a generous free plan with 1,000 monthly operations, enough to test and automate the basic workflows of a Webflow site without initial investment.

A superior visual interface

Make's interface is like a real flowchart, where each automation step is visually connected. This approach makes it easier to understanding complex workflows and error debugging.

Zapier, with its linear “if this then that” approach, quickly becomes limited when you want to create automations with multiple conditions and branch lines.

Native advanced features

Make natively integrates features that Zapier only offers in its premium plans:

• Advanced error management : automatic retry, timeout management
• Data transformation : JSON manipulation, complex calculations
• Conditional workflows : sophisticated if/else logic
• Data stores : temporary storage of data between executions

The European advantage that is often forgotten

Make.com is a European company, which has significant advantages:

• Native GDPR compliance : your data stays in Europe
• Support in French : documentation and support in your language
• Invoicing in euros : no exchange fees or fluctuations
• European regulations : strengthened data protection

8 essential Webflow + Make automations

1. Automatic lead scoring

Create a system that automatically rates your prospects based on their interactions. A visitor downloads an ebook (+ 10 points), visits the pricing page (+ 15 points), fills out a contact form (+ 25 points). Make calculates the score and transfers the hot leads directly into your CRM.

2. Smart CMS management

Automate content publishing based on business rules. A new article published on your blog automatically triggers: sitemap update, notification on Slack, publication on LinkedIn, addition to scheduled newsletters.

3. Advanced e-commerce workflows

After each Webflow order, Make can: check the stock, create an invoice in your accounting, send details to the supplier, program personalized follow-up emails according to the product purchased.

4. Automated SEO monitoring

Monitor the performance of your pages automatically. Make checks your Google positions daily, alerts in case of falls, compiles weekly reports and sends them to your customers.

5. Smart backup

Automatically back up your important Webflow data. With each CMS change, Make exports the data to Google Sheets or Airtable, creating a complete history of your content.

6. Personalized client onboarding

When a new customer signs, Make automatically creates: their Google Drive folder, their CRM file, their Webflow accesses, and programs a welcome email sequence adapted to their profile.

7. Pop-up notifications

Get intelligent alerts based on context. A contact form filled out on the weekend generates an SMS, during the week a Slack message. Urgent quote requests trigger an automatic call.

8. Multi-source reporting

Automatically compile your KPIs from Webflow, Google Analytics, your CRM and your social networks. Make generates custom reports and sends them to your customers every month.

The limits you need to know

Learning curve

Make request more initial investment than Zapier. Its rich interface may intimidate newbies, but this apparent complexity hides remarkable power once mastered.

Technical documentation

Although Make offers content in French, technical documentation is sometimes less extensive than that of Zapier, especially for very specific use cases.

Application ecosystem

Zapier has more native integrations (7,000+ vs 1,500+ for Make), but Make compensates with its particularly flexible system of webhooks and APIs.

Make.com offers the opportunity to transform this constraint into a competitive advantage. With controlled costs and advanced functionalities, it is the ideal tool to make your Webflow site an automated commercial machine.
The future belongs to the sites that work for you, even when you sleep and Make.com gives you the keys to this transformation.
