# Connect Webflow

> Authorize Synclify to read and write your Webflow CMS collections.

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Connect Webflow">
    You are redirected to Webflow's authorization page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Invalid OAuth state. Please try again.">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The account shows 'reauth required'">
    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`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The account shows 'degraded'">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A collection doesn't appear in the destination list">
    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.
  </Accordion>
