The problem/error/question

Hello, i am working on my first workflow and running into problems. Everything is working except for Webflow.
My Webflow UPDATE fails. I am not clear if the required fields like name, slug, draft , archive, need to be in an update. Is there any way to view more detailed error output?

The error message

NodeApiError: Bad request - please check your parameters

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

The output returned by the last node

As a follow up, this is working for me if I turn off the “Live” setting. I’m not sure if there is a way to enable “Live” in the workflow. Is it possible to enable this setting?

Hi @rgreen, welcome to the community!

From reading this thread over in Webflow’s forum, it seems this is a limitation of their API:

(…) you need to do with the live = true param with ONLY the base required fields that the system assigns to the collection: In my case (standard CMS collection), that would mean: name, slug, _draft & _archived.

So you probably need to play a bit with your fields and remove some of them when using the Live option before this works.
