Create a CMS Collection

Cloudpress will export content to a CMS collection which you will specify later in this document. If you don’t have a collection defined yet, you will need to create one. If you are unfamiliar with this process, refer to the Webflow documentation on CMS Collections. There is one important requirement, and that is that your CMS collection has at least one rich text field defined. Cloudpress will export the content of the document to this rich text field. In the screenshot below, you will notice that we have a rich text field name Content which will contain the content of the exported document. CMS Collection definition with rich text field Cloudpress will also export the document’s title to Webflow, using the predefined Name field in the Webflow CMS collection.

Create Webflow Connection

Go to the Connections page in Cloudpress, click the Add Connection button and then select Webflow from the list. Select Webflow from the account type list You must give Cloudpress access to your Webflow account for Cloudpress to export content to that account. Connect your Webflow account Click the Authorize Cloudpress button. This will open a popup window that will send you to the Webflow website. If you are not logged in to Webflow, you will need to log in. Webflow will then prompt you to authorize Cloudpress to access your sites. Select the site you want to manage with Cloudpress, then click the Authorize App button. Authorize Cloudpress to access your Webflow account The next step is to select the CMS Collection and locale you want to use for the content: Select the CMS collection to export to
If you use multiple locales in WordPress, it is suggested you enable the “Also create items for other locales” option. This will ensure that, when Cloudpress exports content, it also creates the items for the other locales. If you do not do this, you will not be able to add translations for the other locales after the fact.
Next, select the field Cloudpress must use for the content of the exported document. Select the field to use for the content The final step is to review all your settings and give the connection a name. If you’re happy with all the information, click the Create connection button.

Export Settings

The Export Settings allow you to control various aspects of how content is exported to this Webflow Connection.
  1. Image settings allows you to specify how exported images must be aligned. These correspond to the image alignment settings inside the Webflow Rich Text editor. Specify image alignment settings
  2. Content publication status allows you to specify whether exported items should be published or exported as drafts. For existing content (i.e. content that Cloudpress previously exported), you can also specify whether the current status must be preserved. In this case, when updating the content, Cloudpress will leave the item in it’s current publication state. Specify Content publication status
