Exporting new posts
To automatically export posts from your Setka account, you need to create a new Zap and set Setka as a trigger and Webflow as an action. Gather the Webflow post ID afterward, if automatic post updates are needed.
Step 1: Create a new Zap
1. Open your Zapier account and click Make a Zap in a left-hand corner;
2. Find Setka in the list of available apps and set it as a trigger:
Step 2. Choose a trigger event
Find New Post (REST Hook) in the Trigger Event list and click Continue. This script will work once you publish a new post in your Setka account.
Step 3. Connect Setka account
If you have already connected your account, skip the connection steps. Just select the account from Choose the account... dropdown list, as described further.
Click Sign in to Setka and enter your license key in the appeared window:
The license key can be found in an Integrations > Integration via Post API section in your Setka account.
Add the Post API integration if you don't see one on the page.
Choose the added account from the appeared list and click Continue to go to the next step.
Step 4. Test the trigger
To test the trigger, try to publish a post in your Setka account. To do that, click Publish on the post's badge. After that, click the Test trigger button in the Zapier interface and check the data received.
Step 5. Add an action
1. Find Webflow in the Action block with the help of a search field. Choose it.
2. Choose the Create Item action from the appeared Action Event list and click Continue:
Step 6. Connect Webflow account
Skip this step if you have already connected the account.
1. Click Sign in to Webflow and insert login data. Skip this step if you have already connected the account.
2. Note the websites where you are planning to publish your Setka posts with a checkmark and click Authorize Application:
3. Choose the connected account from an appeared Webflow account: (required) list and click Continue.
Step 7. Mark out the data for Webflow
Settings will lead you to a Setup action block. From an appeared Blog code block, choose the Webflow website where your Setka posts will be exported. Choose the needed CMS Collection from a Collection list.
Then replace Webflow post fields with Setka post data. Set the following:
1. Title data for a post's title field (if available).
2. Author Name data for a field that contains the author's name (if available).
3. Replace the field with a full version of a post with the data according to this template:
4. If you want to save exported posts in CMS Collection as a draft, choose False in a Draft field. If you want to publish your posts instantly, choose True. The same for an Archived field: choose True to draft the post or click False to save it as published.
Save changes by clicking Continue.
5. After that, you will be offered to test publishing in Webflow. Please note that by clicking Test & Continue, a post will be exported to Webflow right from your Setka account.
Testing is necessary if automatic post updates are needed.
Click Skip Test to pass testing.
Step 8. Gather the Webfow post ID (optional)
Skip this step if automatic updates are not needed.
From this point your zap becomes multi-step. Multi-step zaps are not available for the Zapier Free tier. Learn more on the Zapier official site.
1. Click the + button at the very bottom of the screen to add a new step:
2. Find Setka in the list of apps and select it:
3. Select Update CMS ID in the Action Event dropdown and click Continue:
4. Choose your Setka account from the corresponding dropdown and click Continue. The account should be the same as in step 3.
5. Set up action:
Choose ID from New Post (REST Hook) in Setka in the Setka Cloud Post ID dropdown.
Choose ID from Create Item in Webflow in the CMS Post ID dropdown.
If you don't see the corresponding items in dropdown lists, make sure you've tested your zap on the previous step.
6. Click Continue, then Test & Continue or skip the test if you are sure it is not needed. From now on, each Webflow post that was exported via Zapier will be connected with the corresponding post in your Setka account, via post ID.
Step 9. Activate the Zap
The setting is done. You can activate posting with the help of a switch box in the upper right-hand corner:
Now your Setka posts will export automatically to Webflow after clicking Publish in your Setka account. To run the export manually, click Run in a Zaps menu:
