Updating exported posts
To automatically update posts that were changed on your Setka account, you need to create a new Zap and set Setka as a trigger and Webflow as an action.
To update posts automatically, set up the export first. Make sure, post IDs are gathered.
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 Update Post in the Trigger Event list and click Continue. This script will work once you update a 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.
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 update a post in your Setka account.
In prior to updating the post, publish it, make some changes and save them by clicking the Save draft button.
Then, to update the post, click the Republish button on the post editor page:
Step 5. Add an action
1. Find Webflow in the Action block with the help of a search field. Choose it.
2. Choose the Update 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.
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. External ID data for the Item field.
2. Title data for a post's title field (if available).
3. Author Name data for a field that contains the author's name (if available).
4. Replace the field with a full version of a post with the data according to this template:
<div class="w-embed w-script">
[Body HTML]
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="[Assets Styles Common CSS]" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="[Assets Styles Layouts CSS]" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="[Assets Styles Themes CSS]" />
<script src="[Assets Plugins]"></script>
</div>
4. If you want to save updated posts in CMS Collection as drafts, 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 updates in Webflow. Please note that by clicking Test & Continue, a post will be updated in accordance with edits from your Setka account.
