Build a member directory. Answered
I’m looking to build a member directory with 5k+ records (and growing). I love Memberstack’s template, but given Webflow CMS limitations, it appears that won’t be the right solution for us as it will significantly impact site performance.
We’re currently using Airtable, which at the 5k mark and limited editing abilities for members, is no longer serving us.
Has anyone used a “plug and play” app or tool (other than Airtable) for something like this? Below are our high level requirements:
- Members can edit their profile
- Include 5-10 fields, plus a photo
- Ability to filter and keyword search
- They can access their profile with their Memberstack login and don’t have to create a separate account

Hey Abbey, we got something similar. We Build a Onlineplattform for Creators and Brands where
Maybe this can help you a little, if you have any questions, don't hesitate 🙂 good evening(germany^^)
Hi Abbey
If I understand correctly, the issue is that you're using Airtable as a database but it has a 5k row limit that you reached... so you are looking to expand (or migrate), to something that allows you to storage more than 5k rows I would presume 🤔
I'm not sure there's an easy answer for you. I'm not familiar with which template you're referring to, maybe it would help for you to share it to understand a little bit more about the structure of the data that you wanna store... but at the top of my mind it I can think up two "kinda plug and play" solutions.
Both solutions can be integrated with Memberstack so the users don't have to create separate accounts. Remember every time you run a scenario it's counts toward your allowed operation limits in Make in case you decide to use it.
Thank you Raquel! Re: the 5k limit, the limit is related to Webflow, not Airtable. Airtable just isn’t the best solution for this as it’s difficult for members to edit their profile (we currently have to do it for them--we tried extensions in the past but it was meh). It seems like going the database route is our best option.
I wonder how are you using Airtable then? Do you keep a mirror of you Webflow CMS DB in Airtable?
And you only need the users to be able to edit their profile data? Or is there any other collection involved? 🤔
It’s just an airtable view, not connected to Webflow or anything currently
Thank you all for sharing! I will dig into these options a bit more.
having to plan out the exact same thing. I am planning on either firebase or xano
