How to integrate Pexels in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Pexels connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Pexels
When prompted, authorize access to Pexels in WEXTL once. Pexels credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Pexels account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Pexels yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Pexels to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Pexels connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Pexels app is called in workflows. That allows your marketing automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Pexels supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Pexels integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Connect Pexels to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Pexels below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Pexels. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Pexels integration
Select Watch Collection Media trigger from Pexels - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Pexels, workflow will start [7] from Watch Collection Media node.
Search for List Collection Photos, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Collection Media and List Collection Photos, so only important data pass from Watch Collection Media to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Pexels automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Pexels on WEXTL has 14 modules for combining marketing automations. Explore Pexels documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Pexels in your workflows.
Pexels has 3 triggers, including "Watch Collection Media", "Watch Curated Photos", and "Watch Popular Videos". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 11 actions, including "Get a Photo", "Get a Video", and "List Collection Media", and more. Refer to our Pexels Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Pexels integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Pexels official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Pexels provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Pexels or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Pexels inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Pexels modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
