STEP 1
Select Strapi in workflow
Pick Strapi app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
Strapi Integration
Manage Strapi collection entries, single types, and media library files. Connect Strapi events to the tools your engineering teams already use. Start with Get Collection Entry, then follow with Get Single Type Entry or Get Upload File to automate the next step.

Supported triggers and actions for Strapi integration
Triggers can detect changes in Strapi and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside Strapi automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Get Collection EntryReturns a single collection-type entry by document ID.
- Get Single Type EntryReturns the entry for a Strapi single type.
- Get Upload FileReturns a single media library file by its numeric ID.
- List Collection EntriesReturns a paginated list of entries for a Strapi collection type.
- List Upload FilesReturns a paginated list of files from the Strapi media library.
- Create Collection EntryCreates a new entry in a Strapi collection type.
- Delete Collection EntryDeletes a collection-type entry by document ID.
- Delete Single Type EntryDeletes the entry for a Strapi single type.
- Delete Upload FilePermanently deletes a file from the Strapi media library by its numeric ID.
- Make an API CallPerforms an arbitrary authorized API request to the Strapi Content API.
- Update Collection EntryUpdates an existing collection-type entry by document ID.
- Update Single Type EntryCreates or updates the entry for a Strapi single type.
- Update Upload File InfoUpdates metadata (name, caption, alt text) of an existing media library file.

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

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

| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
Base URLRequired | text | Your instance origin without trailing slash, e.g. https://cms.example.com. Do not include /api. |
API TokenRequired | password | Bearer token from Admin → Settings → API Tokens. Requests send Authorization: Bearer <token>. |
Connect Strapi to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Strapi below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Strapi. 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 Strapi integration
Select Get Collection Entry action from Strapi - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Strapi, workflow will start [7] from Get Collection Entry node.
Search for Update Single Type Entry, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Get Collection Entry and Update Single Type Entry, so only important data pass from Get Collection Entry to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Strapi automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Strapi on WEXTL has 14 modules for creating developer tools automations. Explore Strapi documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Strapi in your workflows.
Strapi has no triggers, but it provides 14 actions including "Get Collection Entry", "Get Single Type Entry", and "Get Upload File". Pair them with triggers from other apps to automate Strapi tasks.
Integration has 14 actions, including "Get Collection Entry", "Get Single Type Entry", and "Get Upload File", and more. Refer to our Strapi 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 Strapi integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Strapi official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Strapi 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 Strapi 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 Strapi 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 Strapi modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
