NOTE: Article syncing is refer to as 'publishing' within SmartPost.
Our webflow integration allows you to automatically publish new article directly into your webflow website.
Smartpost's integration with Webflow enables seamless synchronization between your Smartpost articles and your Webflow collection. With this integration, every article you generate in Smartpost will be synced to your Webflow site, ensuring efficient content management.
You can choose to automatic publishing, manual publishing or even schedule for publishing.
Configuring the Webflow integration is easy & simple:
Follow these steps to create an API access key. You can also follow Webflow's documentation
From your Webflow Workspace, click on '⋯' to open up the menu and select Settings
Once you have access your website's Settings, go to the Integration tab
Scroll down to API ACCESS & click on Generate new API token
Generating a new API token invalidates the existing token. Make sure to update the API key in SMARTPOST when you generate a new one.
Add your API token during the project onboarding process & click on Encrypt (Your token is securely encrypted before it is saved into our database to ensure it remains secured & private)
Once your key is encrypted, you will be prompted to select the collection dedicated for articles/posts.
