Webflow Automation

# Webflow Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Webflow operations including CMS collection management, site publishing, page inspection, asset uploads, and ecommerce order retrieval through Composio's Webflow toolkit.

Prerequisites

- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

- Active Webflow connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `webflow`

- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas

Setup

**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds

2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `webflow`

3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Webflow OAuth

4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Manage CMS Collection Items

**When to use**: User wants to create, update, list, or delete items in Webflow CMS collections (blog posts, products, team members, etc.)

**Tool sequence**:

1. `WEBFLOW_LIST_WEBFLOW_SITES` - List sites to find the target site_id [Prerequisite]

2. `WEBFLOW_LIST_COLLECTIONS` - List all collections for the site [Prerequisite]

3. `WEBFLOW_GET_COLLECTION` - Get collection schema to find valid field slugs [Prerequisite for create/update]

4. `WEBFLOW_LIST_COLLECTION_ITEMS` - List existing items with filtering and pagination [Optional]

5. `WEBFLOW_GET_COLLECTION_ITEM` - Get a specific item's full details [Optional]

6. `WEBFLOW_CREATE_COLLECTION_ITEM` - Create a new item with field data [Required for creation]

7. `WEBFLOW_UPDATE_COLLECTION_ITEM` - Update an existing item's fields [Required for updates]

8. `WEBFLOW_DELETE_COLLECTION_ITEM` - Permanently remove an item [Optional]

9. `WEBFLOW_PUBLISH_SITE` - Publish changes to make them live [Optional]

**Key parameters for CREATE_COLLECTION_ITEM**:

- `collection_id`: 24-character hex string from LIST_COLLECTIONS

- `field_data`: Object with field slug keys (NOT display names); must include `name` and `slug`

- `field_data.name`: Display name for the item

- `field_data.slug`: URL-friendly identifier (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces)

- `is_draft`: Boolean to create as draft (default false)

**Key parameters for UPDATE_COLLECTION_ITEM**:

- `collection_id`: Collection identifier

- `item_id`: 24-character hex MongoDB ObjectId of the existing item

- `fields`: Object with field slug keys and new values

- `live`: Boolean to publish changes immediately (default false)

**Field value types**:

- Text/Email/Link/Date: string

- Number: integer or float

- Boolean: true/false

- Image: `{"url": "...", "alt": "...", "fileId": "..."}`

- Multi-reference: array of reference ID strings

- Multi-image: array of image objects

- Option: option ID string

**Pitfalls**:

- Field keys must use the exact field `slug` from the collection schema, NOT display names

- Always call `GET_COLLECTION` first to retrieve the schema and identify correct field slugs

- `CREATE_COLLECTION_ITEM` requires `name` and `slug` in `field_data`

- `UPDATE_COLLECTION_ITEM` cannot create new items; it requires a valid existing `item_id`

- `item_id` must be a 24-character hexadecimal MongoDB ObjectId

- Slug must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens: `^[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*$`

- CMS items are staged; use `PUBLISH_SITE` or set `live: true` to push to production

2. Manage Sites and Publishing

**When to use**: User wants to list sites, inspect site configuration, or publish staged changes

**Tool sequence**:

1. `WEBFLOW_LIST_WEBFLOW_SITES` - List all accessible sites [Required]

2. `WEBFLOW_GET_SITE_INFO` - Get detailed site metadata including domains and settings [Optional]

3. `WEBFLOW_PUBLISH_SITE` - Deploy all staged changes to live site [Required for publishing]

**Key parameters for PUBLISH_SITE**:

- `site_id`: Site identifier from LIST_WEBFLOW_SITES

- `custom_domains`: Array of custom domain ID strings
