Webflow Credential Issues

Describe the problem/error/question

I am trying to use API authentication to Webflow for a Webflow Trigger (new form submission) When reading the Webflow credential documentation it references an API access token authentication method, but there is no UI option for this.

What is the error message (if any)?

Also, FWIW, the OAuth2 authentication did not work until I toggled OFF the “Legacy” toggle in the app—otherwise it errors on the “Site Name or ID” step where it says “Error fetching options from Webflow Trigger” so I cannot proceed to the next step. Turning this OFF fixed this error.

I believe the API token is the first option:

Is this what you were looking for?

Ah, so to get to that you have to click Project->Credentials->Create Credential (hidden in a dropdown).

I created the workflow trigger node (Webflow) and from there it automatically only tries to create the webflow credential in oauth2 mode with the legacy switch.

Very confusing.

Oh, I see. Confusing indeed.
Did this API approach work?

I’m experiencing an issue with the Webflow node in n8n while trying to automate article creation for a neobank’s blog. My workflow uses a Schedule Trigger, Airtable, OpenAI, Google Drive, and the Webflow node to generate and publish articles. However, I consistently encounter the “Error fetching options from Webflow” when configuring the node, affecting both “Site Name or ID” and “Collection Name or ID” fields. I’ve verified my “Webflow account 11” credential, but the connection test fails. Manually entering Site and Collection IDs doesn’t resolve the issue. I’ve reviewed the n8n Webflow documentation and attempted an HTTP Request node as an alternative, but the problem persists. Any guidance on troubleshooting this authentication or API connectivity issue would be greatly appreciated.
