Webflow Integration

Connect a Webflow CMS collection to publish, schedule and update articles from Rank Prompt as collection items.

Webflow Integration

What it does

Rank Prompt adds each article as an item of one CMS collection of your Webflow site and publishes that item on its own, without publishing the rest of the site. You choose which field of the collection takes each part of the article: title, body, summary, featured image, SEO title, meta description, focus keyword, published date, tags and structured data, or one fixed value for every article.

You can publish now, schedule a date, save a draft item, update a published item and remove it.


What you need

  • A Webflow site with a CMS collection for the blog, published at least once

  • A site token with CMS: read and write and Sites: read access

  • A Rank Prompt plan with publishing (Starter or higher), and the owner of the brand


Connecting Webflow

  1. In Webflow, open the site settings, Apps & integrations, and generate a site token with CMS read and write and Sites read access.

  2. In Rank Prompt, open Integrations > Publish Content. In the More platforms card, click Webflow, or + (Connect a platform), pick Webflow and click Continue.

  3. Paste the Site token and click Continue. Rank Prompt lists the site, its collections and the fields of the one that looks like a blog.

  4. Check the Collection and the Fields. Required fields need a part of the article or a fixed value. A required image field also takes a fallback image, used when an article has no featured image.

  5. Map the SEO title and the meta description to two plain text fields, and the JSON-LD to another (add these fields to the collection in Webflow first if it has none), then click Connect.

One step in the Webflow Designer

A collection item has no SEO settings of its own. Open the collection template page, bind its SEO title and meta description to the fields you mapped, and add the JSON-LD field inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the page's custom code. Without this step the item pages show the site's default title.


Publishing

Open an article, click More actions (the three dots) and Publish. Pick Your Webflow and choose Publish, a date under Schedule, or Save as draft.


Troubleshooting

Message

What to do

Webflow refused the site token.

Generate a new one in the site settings (Apps & integrations).

The Webflow token cannot do this.

Generate a token with read and write access to CMS and read access to Sites.

Webflow will not publish items of this site on their own until the whole site is published

Publish the site once from Webflow, then publish the article again.

Webflow requires {field}, so an article without a featured image is refused.

Choose a fallback image for that field in the connection.

The collection changed in Webflow since it was connected.

Open the connection and check the fields.

Webflow asked to slow down.

Try again in a minute: Webflow allows 60 requests a minute per site.

Search engines are not told when you publish: Webflow cannot serve an IndexNow key file, so Bing finds new items on its own crawl.
