Automating the manual transfer of lead data will eliminate one of your time-consuming workflows. Its practical benefit lies in saving time and human resources. The significant acceleration of work with lead data, which is provided by the connection between the website builder and the CRM system, will allow you to increase your own performance, as well as raise the performance indicators of the department and the company as a whole.

By setting up Salesforce and Webflow integration using our codeless online connector ApiX-Drive, you will immediately be able to see and appreciate its benefits. The data of new leads that they submit through an order form on a website created in Webflow will automatically appear in the CRM. You will no longer need to manually transfer a whole range of data (first and last name, contact phone number, email address, country, postal code, locality, and so on). In this way, you will successfully optimize your work, and your clients will receive a positive experience of interacting with you and a high rate of feedback. This will allow you to rise one step above competitors who do not use automation in sales.
