Hi, is anyone able to help me with the Webflow API integration? I’m using the Update Collection Item Webflow step to update an item in my site’s CMS, but when I do it shows up as “Staged Changes” in Webflow, rather than “Published”, and I have to republish my site for the changes to take effect. I’ve seen online that there’s a {live: true} option to make the API call update the published site, but I can’t find the option in the Pipedream step. Any ideas? Thanks very much

Hi Iarla,

If there’s a missing prop to an action or trigger, you can request to have it added here:

This will queue it for our developers to build.

But in the meantime here are two workarounds.

  1. Use Python or Node.js code to make the API call directly. The Use any Webflow API with Node.js step within the Webflow app will scaffold an example API request for you. It will just need to be tweaked slightly to match the API docs.
  2. All of our actions and triggers are open source. You can fork the Pipedream component registry and add this missing live prop to the step and publish it to your Pipedream account.

Done, working perfectly, thanks Pierce!

Awesome glad to hear you figured it out. You can use any Webflow API with Node or Python. And the code steps are more flexible too to conditionally send requests, etc.
