Create, Update and Read a Webflow CMS Item

Create a Webflow CMS item, add an image and read the updated item.

Setup

Connect Webflow with CMS read and write access. Open Flow uses an API token; n8n uses Webflow OAuth2. In Open Flow set the collection ID, item name, slug and public HTTPS image URL in Prepare item details. The collection must have an image field with slug avatar and any other required fields must be supplied in the create and update steps. Webflow must be able to fetch the image; its image size limit applies.

In n8n, connect Webflow OAuth2 with Legacy disabled and CMS read/write access to all three HTTP nodes and set the collection ID, name, slug and image URL in Prepare item details. The collection must have the same field. Run one format manually.

Behavior

The workflow creates an unarchived, non-draft item, updates its avatar with the configured image, confirms the returned avatar, then reads the item by the same ID. The item is staged for the next site publish; this workflow does not publish the site. A failure stops subsequent steps. A failed or uncertain create or update may already have succeeded, so inspect Webflow before retrying to avoid duplicate items or updates.

Changes to the source

Replace personal site and collection IDs and the example image with configuration. Use the current Webflow v2 API; n8n HTTP nodes use the Webflow OAuth2 credential to preserve non-draft status and image values.
