Data Bind CMS Item ID

[sascha]

Is there a way to do a wfu data bind for a cms item id? I currently have a cms field into which i copy the item id, but would prefer if it was automated. i tried to figure it out from the documentation but as a designer-and-amateur-engineer it wasn’t clear if/how it would work.

i have a collection called activity …

and want to fetch the item id of the current cms item in a collection

to add it in this embed

which populates this form, in the below screenshot the field is empty (the form is hidden and connected to a zapier that adds members to rsvp)

SA5’s data libs are client-side and can only access what Webflow can emit directly into the page, so you’re limited to the fields you can drop into an Embed. Item ID unfortunately is not one of them.

Your approach of building an automation that triggers on a cms-item-created webhook trigger and then updates a CMS item field to make that ID accessible is the best option we have still.

I’ve tried hacking Webflow’s embed fields, but no dice. If you find a way to access it, let me know.
