Built-in Tools

The Webflow Assistant includes one main tool:

​
Generic API Call Tool

A flexible tool that can make any API call to the Webflow API. The assistant dynamically determines:
  • Which endpoint to call
  • What HTTP method to use (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
  • What data to include in the request body
  • How to handle the response
You don’t need to know anything about these technical details—just describe what you want!

​
Troubleshooting

​
Collection names are case-sensitive

When referencing collections, use the exact name (including capitalization) as it appears in Webflow. Tip: If you’re unsure, ask: “List all my collections” to see the exact names.
