How It Works
One Gate, Mapped Straight to
Your CMS Item
Every PDF gets a Gated ID. Point that ID at a CMS field or an existing form, and the lock widget takes over the rest of the page.
- 01
Connect Your Webflow Workspace
Authorize Webflow and pick your site. PDF Gate adds its script for you, so there is nothing to paste.
- 02
Upload Your PDFs
Drop in one file or many at once. Each file is checked to be a real PDF and stored privately.
- 03
Map It to a CMS Item or Form
Point the PDF's Gated ID at a CMS field or attach it to a form in the Webflow Designer.
- 04
Publish and Collect Leads
Visitors enter their email to unlock the PDF, get a copy by email, and land in your leads table.
Features
Everything You Need to Gate,
Deliver and Measure
From the lock card to the lead export, every part of the flow is handled.
Email Gate on Any Page
Lock a PDF behind an email form. Use your own Webflow form or the ready-made PDF Gate lock card.
CMS mapping
SyncedBuilt for Webflow CMS
Map a PDF to a CMS item once. Each CMS page then shows its own gated PDF, and the gate link is written back to a CMS field.
Share link
Share to
A Share Link for Every Gate
Each gate has its own hosted page. Send it by email or post it on social, with no Webflow page needed.
Secure PDF Viewer
Readers open the PDF in a clean viewer with zoom, full screen and open-in-new-tab.
Gate settings
LiveGate Controls
Four switches per gate: gate on or off, require an email, allow preview in the browser, allow download.
Email check
0 of 5 attempts used (per 10 minutes)
Real Emails Only
Disposable addresses and domains that cannot receive mail are rejected before a lead is saved. Repeat attempts are limited to 5 every 10 minutes.
