Configuration
2 fields, 2 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
collection_id The CMS collection id, as listed by webflow.list_collections. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
item_ids The CMS item ids to publish, as a JSON array or a comma-separated list. | array | Yes | — | ≥ 1 characters; array of string | ["643f7c9a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c"] |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"item_ids": [
"643f7c9a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c"
]
}Output
One shape.

"error_count": 0,
"errors": [],
"partial": false,
"published_count": 0,
"published_item_ids": [],
"requested_item_ids": []
}Notes
- A 202 can still contain errors: check published_item_ids against requested_item_ids before treating the batch as done.
See Publish Collection Items run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Webflow connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
