Continuous automatic publishing with Webflow Hosting

[Robit97]

Hi!

With Webflow CMS-Hosting enabled - is there a way to get continuous timed automatic publishing within Webflow?

Let’s say I want to automatically publish every 15 minutes (because if you use an API → publishing triggers the API and pulls new data in the CMS and publishes it) - is there a way to do that?

If not natively, maybe with custom code?

Or somehow with an automation solution like www.zapier.com or www.pabbly.com?

Thanks for your input!

Yes, you can have Zapier or some other automation call the Publish Site API endpoint.

But, what is pulling data into the CMS? Because you can use the “live” mode of the Webflow API. It automatically published after a CMS item is created/updated. That’s what PowerImporter uses to sync Airtable to Webflow.

To trigger this with Make it would look something like this:

This would be useful if you want to make sure any designs in your Webflow site go live every 15 minutes.

If you’re just trying to have new CMS items go live, you don’t necessarily need to republish the entire site. When you publish new CMS items, they go live automatically. This is even true if you’re syncing data into your CMS from Airtable with Whalesync for example.
