Set up Webflow
Connect Webflow to read the CMS itself rather than the rendered site — every item of every collection (blog posts, help articles, case studies, team pages) as clean structured content, drafts optional, so a help article or a case study answers from its own fields instead of page chrome. Read-only.
Before you start
- A site token: in the site's settings open Apps & integrations → API access and generate a token with the CMS read scope — nothing else is used.
- Copy it right away — Webflow shows the token once. Only reads are ever issued with it; nothing is written back to the CMS.
- Generate the site token as above.
- Documents → Webflow, paste it as Site token.
- Optional, under Advanced: list Collections to sync only those, and set Drafts to decide whether unpublished items and staged edits come in.
- Choose access groups, Test, then Sync.
What comes in
- Every item of every collection the token can see becomes one document titled by its Name field, headed with its collection and last-updated date, then its text fields in the collection's own order with any HTML stripped — ids, images and references are left out.
- An item with no text fields is left out and archived items are never read; a token that can see many sites syncs only the first 10, and Sync says so.
- With drafts included, unpublished items and staged changes to published ones come in tagged as drafts, so a draft never outranks a published item.
- Static (non-CMS) pages stay with the Website connector — this source reads only the collections behind the site.
| Collections | Optional, under Advanced — collection names exactly as Webflow shows them, one per line, to sync only those. Blank syncs every CMS collection of every site the token can see. A listed name that matches no collection is reported in the sync notes rather than failing the sync. |
|---|---|
| Drafts | Published items only (default) reads Webflow's live collection — exactly what visitors see. Include drafts and staged edits also pulls unpublished items and staged (not-yet-published) changes to published ones, tagged as drafts. |
Access
Access is allow-only: every item this source brings in is visible to the groups you choose when setting it up — Webflow's API carries no per-item reader list to mirror.
Collections are capped at 3,000 items in total, read 100 at a time; Sync notes it if the cap is hit — narrow the Collections list if this persists — and items already synced beyond it stay searchable. A site the token can't list collections for is skipped with a note, not failed. Test lists the collections it can reach and names the first few; on failure it says why — a rejected token reports that Webflow rejected the credentials. To cut access, revoke the token where it was generated, under Apps & integrations → API access.
