Troubleshooting Webflow CMS Item Creation via Clay Tool

Ryan M. · 2025-03-27 16:10:57.397123+00

Hey Clay Community, I'm legit stuck on this - trying to create a webflow CMS item from Clay, here's what I see in Webflow in terms of available data fields, and yet Clay only shows `name` and `slug`. Collection is published, I have one collection item published. No fields in clay beyond those two above... so weird... any ideas? Google didn't really have anything relevant - appreciate any guidance :thumbsup_all:

It seems there might be an issue with the connection between Clay and your Webflow collection. Here are a few things to check: 1. Ensure your Webflow API key has the correct permissions. 2. Verify that the collection is indeed published and accessible via the API. 3. Double-check that the collection fields are set up correctly in Webflow. If you've confirmed these points and still face the issue, we'd need to take a closer look at your setup. Could you please copy and paste the JSON response you're receiving when trying to create a Webflow CMS item in Clay? This will help us troubleshoot the problem more effectively.

for added context, this is the only collection facing this issue. Blog Posts for example, have all available fields - I did a test as a control and that worked fine - no JSON response, it says this: Cell details Error running integration: Error ERROR MESSAGE
❌ Failed to create item

It seems there might be an issue with the connection between Clay and your specific Webflow collection. Since other collections like "Blog Posts" are working correctly, the problem is likely isolated to this particular collection. To troubleshoot: 1. Ensure the collection is published and accessible via the API. 2. Check if the collection fields are set up correctly in Webflow. 3. Verify your Webflow API key has the necessary permissions. To help diagnose the "Failed to create item" error, we'd need to see the full error message. Could you please copy and paste the complete error message or JSON response you're receiving when trying to create a Webflow CMS item in Clay? This will help us identify the root cause and provide a more specific solution.
