I try to implement the workflow based on the CMS updates. I have an extra CMS and create the Switch button, once the switch is on/off it will generate the email notification or do other stuffs. However, I get stuck in how to get the event, webhook or zapier? I don’t see there is an option to get the trigger event type as CMS update. Any thoughts about this?
Currently I do not think the Zapier integration has an Updated Item trigger.
You’d need to use a webhook trigger and setup a Webflow API webhook for that event directly.
Other automation platforms like Make have a more generic event trigger that might ( or might not ) be easier to work with.
Thank you for the response.
Is there any way that can filter the event based on the collection ID, at the moment it looks like it will query all the events for example if it is set at “collection_item_changed”? There is a tag called “filter” but Only supported for the form_submission
trigger type. Filter for the form you want Webhooks to be sent for.
Hi Michelle,
I believe you’d receive all of them, but the collection ID arrives in the event data so you can filter as step 1.
If you’re trying to reduce unnecessary traffic to Zapier, I suspect you’d have to put a serverless function in between to do the filtering for you, and return 200’s regardless of whether it filters or not.
It sounds like you’re trying to set up an automation triggered by CMS updates, but you’re not seeing the right event option. If your CMS doesn’t natively offer a “CMS update” trigger, you can try using a webhook or integrating with Zapier. For webhooks, you might need to configure your CMS to send updates to an external service when content changes. In Zapier, you could set up a “Catch Hook” trigger and use it to listen for incoming CMS update data from a webhook. Alternatively, check if your CMS has any built-in integrations with Zapier that can monitor updates directly.
