CMS API Basic Question from a designer, not a developer

That’s the thing: you don’t anything special. See here:

CMS API and Zapier

You can make your own in the meantime! Select the Webflow form submission as the trigger and the Zapier “Webhooks by Zapier” as the action. From there, you can choose your REST verb (GET or POST or PUT or DELETE), use the appropriate Webflow API endpoint for whatever action you’re doing, them map the form fields to the collection item fields. So for example, if you were creating a new collection item using POST, the endpoint would be: https://api.webflow.com/collections/:collection_id/items F…

With Zapier’s “Webhooks” feature, you can GET / POST / PUT / DELETE anything you want, right now, from any form submission on the planet. So for example you could have a form – even a Webflow form! – with the action URL set to the Zapier Webhook (which it generates for you). At that point, you can capture the data of the form, and POST it to a Webflow collection.

This link above should provide enough detailed information but let me know if you have questions. Essentially, I test all my API calls using Postman so that when I create the Zap, all I have to do is copy/paste the JSON payload which I already know works. Does that make sense? You can use the API with Zapier right now! I have been for the last few weeks and it’s marvelous.
