I’m working on no-code projects and keep running into issues with keeping data in sync across different platforms. We use Memberstack for user authentication, Airtable as our database, and Webflow for the website frontend. The problem is that when users update their info or when we make changes in Airtable, it needs to show up everywhere else quickly. Zapier handles simple stuff okay but starts failing when we have complex conditions or need to process lots of data at once. We’ve tried other automation tools like Make and Whalesync, plus some custom API solutions, but they all have downsides. Some are too slow, others cost too much, and some are hard to maintain. Anyone found a reliable way to handle this kind of multi-platform data syncing that actually works at scale?
Been using this exact stack for 2 years. Skip middleware - just use Memberstack’s API with Airtable automations.
Connect them directly: Memberstack webhook hits Airtable, then Airtable’s automation pushes to Webflow CMS API. Works both ways when you update Airtable records.
Make Airtable your single source of truth. Everything flows through it. Memberstack updates Airtable, Airtable updates Webflow. Manual Airtable edits trigger the same Webflow sync.
No external services needed. Airtable handles all the logic and API calls. We process 500+ daily user updates with zero failures. Under 3 seconds end to end.
Only catch is Airtable’s automation limits, but you’ll hit those with any high-volume solution. Rock solid for 18 months and costs nothing extra since you’re already paying for these platforms.
We had the same frustrations and went hybrid. Memberstack webhooks hit a Firebase function that acts as our data orchestrator. It processes incoming data, applies business logic, then makes parallel API calls to update both Airtable and Webflow. The key was adding a queue system for high-volume updates plus database triggers in Airtable that webhook back to Firebase when someone makes manual changes. True two-way sync without polling. Took two weeks to build but maintenance is basically zero since it’s all on Google’s infrastructure. Response times under 2 seconds, handling hundreds of user updates daily. Firebase costs stay under $15/month.
Had the same sync nightmare. Built a simple middleware using Supabase as the hub instead of trying to sync everything directly. Here’s how it works: Memberstack updates trigger a webhook to Supabase, then Supabase pushes to both Airtable and Webflow CMS through their APIs. The game-changer was adding proper error handling and retry logic in the Supabase edge functions. Sync went from minutes to seconds, and batch operations actually work now - something Zapier never handled well. Costs about $25/month for Supabase plus tiny serverless fees, way cheaper than scaling automation tools. Setup takes time upfront but it’s been bulletproof for 6 months.
