Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Cockpit and Strapi.
Connect your Cockpit and Strapi accounts once, pick an action in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: use Cockpit's "Create Collection" action to perform Strapi's "Create Collection Entry" action. Cockpit has 11 actions (including Create Collection, Create Entry, and Delete Entry); Strapi has 14 actions (including Create Collection Entry, Delete Collection Entry, and Delete Single Type Entry). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — pick an action in either app, then an action in the other, and map the fields between them. [2]
No. Cockpit-to-Strapi automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Cockpit (or Strapi) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Cockpit + Strapi automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
