Use case
Scheduled rebuilds and CMS syncs for Webflow sites.
Webflow has no native scheduler. For nightly CMS syncs, weekly publish-now actions, and cross-tool data feeds into Webflow, an external cron driving the Webflow API from your own backend is the cleaner pattern.

The problem
Why this is painful without the right tool
- Webflow has no native scheduler primitive; all triggers are content-edit-driven.
- CMS syncs from external sources (Airtable, a CSV, your own API) need a clock.
- Publish-on-schedule (rebuild every night for fresh content) is a manual click in the Webflow editor.
The fix
How Crontap solves it
Crontap calls your backend endpoint on a cron. Your backend uses the Webflow API to write CMS items or trigger publishes. Webflow API token stays server-side; Crontap only knows your backend bearer header.

Common questions
- Can I trigger a Webflow site publish on a cron?
- Yes. The Webflow Publish API accepts a POST against a site ID. Your backend hits that endpoint when Crontap fires the trigger URL. You can publish to live or to staging by toggling the API parameters.
- What's the shortest interval Crontap supports?
- Every 1 minute on paid plans. Free tier available for slower cadences. Most Webflow schedules sit at hourly or daily cadence.
