# Create collection

> Creates a CMS collection and its initial fields.

`webflow.createCollection` creates a CMS collection and its initial fields.

## Example

```ts automations/webflow-create-collection.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, onDashboardRun } from "automate.ax"
import { webflow } from "automate.ax/webflow"

export default automation("Create collection", () => {
  onDashboardRun({ title: "Create collection" })

  webflow.createCollection({
    siteId: "site-id",
    displayName: "Articles",
    singularName: "Article",
  })
})
```
