Send Slack channel messages for new Webflow form submissions
Integrating Webflow with Slack can enhance your workflow by automatically sending real-time notifications to your Slack channel for every new form submission on your Webflow site. While services like Zapier offer similar integration capabilities, they can become costly as your needs grow. For example, Zapier’s free tier limits you to 100 tasks per month, and the Professional tier starts at 750 tasks for $29.99 USD/month. If your business requires more automation, the cost can escalate quickly, with Zapier charging $3,299 USD/month for one million tasks. Even with a 33% discount for annual billing, this pricing remains substantial.
In contrast, deploying this integration on AWS allows you to achieve the same functionality at a significantly lower cost. By using AWS Lambda and API Gateway, the cost for 750 tasks would be approximately $0.0028 USD, and for one million tasks, it would be approximately $3.70 USD. This substantial difference in pricing highlights the cost-effectiveness of using AWS over Zapier, potentially saving your business thousands of dollars annually.
