How can I update a Collection in Webflow using Integromat if the source data has changed, without being able to store the Item-ID in the data source?

To update a Collection in Webflow using Integromat when the source data has changed, even if the Item-ID cannot be stored in the data source, you can follow these steps:

1. Set up your Webflow Collection update action in Integromat:

• Start by creating or editing the scenario in Integromat.
• Add the Webflow module to your scenario and authorize your Webflow account.
• Select the appropriate Collection and specify the action as "Update an item".
• Map the required fields from your data source to the corresponding fields in the Webflow Collection.

1. Enable the "Find items" module:

• Add the "Find items" module from the Webflow integration.
• Configure the module to search for items in the specific Collection.
• Map relevant fields from your data source to the search criteria in the "Find items" module.

1. Use a unique identifier from your data source:

• If you don't have access to the Item-ID in your data source, try to find a unique identifier such as a URL slug or a combination of fields that uniquely identify each item.
• Map this unique identifier from the data source to the search criteria in the "Find items" module.

1. Handling changed source data:

• Whenever the source data changes, Integromat will trigger the scenario and attempt to find the corresponding item in the Webflow Collection using the unique identifier.
• If the item is found, Integromat will update the corresponding fields based on the mapping defined in the "Update an item" module.
• If the item is not found, you can choose to create a new item or handle the situation based on your requirements.

1. Test and activate the scenario:

• It is crucial to thoroughly test the scenario to ensure that the data mapping and search criteria are correct.
• Once you are satisfied with the testing, activate the scenario to run automatically whenever the source data changes.

By following these steps, you can update a Webflow Collection using Integromat even if the Item-ID cannot be stored in the data source. This ensures that your Webflow website remains synced with the updates in the data source.
