Connecting Webflow – Storipress

Preparing your Webflow Account for Storipress

Mapping your Collections

🌱

Before you connect Webflow to Storipress, you Webflow site first needs to have a collection. To build a collection, follow the below steps:

You can create a site using a default template. (recommended: Business Starter)

Create your own custom collection.

Collection Mapping

Here, we use the example of the collection fields provided in the Business Starter template to create a field mapping between Storipress and Webflow.

Webflow Field Label	Storipress Field	Type
name	Title	`Plain text`
slug	Slug	`Plain text`
main-image	Hero Photo	`Image`
post-summary	Blurb	`Plain text`
post-body	Body	`Rich text`
featured	Featured	`Switch`
newsletter	Newsletter	`Switch`
search-title	Search Title	`Plain text`
search-description	Search Description	`Plain text`

Publish Your Site

Your site needs to be published for Storipress to connect

Connecting Storipress to Webflow

To connect your account, go to the integration page and click the Webflow icon.

Authorise and select at least one site.

Choose the site, collection, and domain that you wish to synchronise.

We will automatically map your Webflow fields and our fields, but you can customise the mapping if you wish. The Title and slug will always map to the Webflow field name and slug.

❗

Only allow mapping for fields of the same data type. For example, an image cannot be mapped to plain text.

And you’re done!

I deleted an article using the Webflow portal but the article still appears

The Webflow site needs to be published once, else the article will not be fully deleted. Once this is done, the article will sync correctly.
