Webflow is always the destination in Synclify. You connect it once, during onboarding, and every connection you build afterwards writes into one of its CMS collections.

​
During onboarding

New accounts are taken straight to the Webflow step.
1

Click Connect Webflow

You are redirected to Webflow’s authorization page.
2

Approve the requested access

Synclify asks for cms:read and cms:write. It reads your collections and their fields, and writes CMS items. It does not touch your Designer layouts, pages, or site settings.
3

Select the sites to sync

Back in Synclify, tick each Webflow site you want available. At least one is required — Continue stays disabled until you pick one.
You can leave onboarding mid-way and come back; your progress is remembered.

​
Adding Webflow later

If you skipped it, or you want to connect a second Webflow account: Data Sources → Add data source → Webflow → authorize.

​
Connecting more sites

Selecting sites during onboarding does not permanently restrict you. Go to Data Sources, open the Webflow account, and its available sites and CMS collections are listed there.

​
What Synclify reads

For every site you authorize, Synclify discovers:
  • CMS collections
  • each collection’s fields, their types, and whether they are required
That schema drives the mapping step. Add a field to a Webflow collection and it becomes available to map on the next draft.

​
Troubleshooting

A security check failed — the authorization response didn’t match the request Synclify sent. Almost always caused by opening the Webflow authorization link in a different browser or tab, or by resuming a stale page. Reload Synclify and click Connect Webflow again.
Webflow revoked or expired the token — commonly after a password change or a workspace permission change. Open Data Sources and reconnect the account. Syncs resume once it returns to active.
Synclify is reaching Webflow, but something is unhealthy — often rate limiting, or webhooks not delivering. Existing syncs generally keep working, possibly via polling fallback. If it persists, check the connection’s Realtime status on its detail page.
Either the site wasn’t authorized, or the collection already backs a live connection. A Webflow collection can only be used by one connection at a time.
