Has anyone found a solution to automatically update a user account access setting in Webflow based on manual verifications recorded in a Google Sheet? Thank you!

Yes, it is possible to automate the process of updating a user account access setting in Webflow based on manual verifications recorded in a Google Sheet. To achieve this, you can use a combination of Google Apps Script and Webflow's API.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set it up:

1. Set up your Google Sheet:
- Create a new Google Sheet or open an existing one.
- Create a column that stores the user's account email address and another column to indicate whether the account's access setting should be updated.
- Manually record the verifications in the appropriate columns.

2. Set up Google Apps Script:
- Open the script editor in your Google Sheet by going to "Extensions" > "Apps Script".
- Write a script that reads the data from your Google Sheet, checks for any manual verifications, and updates the user account access in Webflow accordingly.

3. Connect to Webflow's API:
- Obtain your Webflow API key by going to your Webflow account settings and generating a new API key.
- Use the API key to authenticate requests to the Webflow API.

4. Write the Google Apps Script code:
- Use the `SpreadsheetApp` class provided by Google Apps Script to access your Google Sheet.
- Fetch the data from the appropriate columns.
- Iterate through the data and check for manual verifications.
- If a verification is found, use the Webflow API to update the user account access setting.

5. Schedule the script to run automatically:
- In the script editor, go to "Edit" > "Current project's triggers".
- Click on "Add Trigger".
- Set up a trigger to run the script at a specified time interval (e.g., every hour, every day).

With this setup, the script will automatically run at the scheduled time interval, check for any manual verifications in the Google Sheet, and update the user account access setting in Webflow accordingly.

Note: You may need to customize the script to match your specific data structure and API endpoint in Webflow. Furthermore, it's important to handle errors and make sure to test the script thoroughly before deploying it in a production environment.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
