🌐 Overview
Search Atlas lets you publish AI-generated articles directly to your Webflow CMS without leaving the platform. This guide walks you through connecting your Webflow site and pushing finished content live in just a few steps.
🔗 Step 1: Connect Your Webflow Account
Before you can publish, you need to link Search Atlas to your Webflow site. You only need to do this once.
- From the top-right avatar (Account Menu), go to Settings and select Integrations.
- Find the Webflow card and click Connect.
- You will be redirected to Webflow. Log in and grant Search Atlas the requested permissions.
- Select the Webflow site you want to publish to, then click Authorize.
- You will be returned to Search Atlas. A green Connected status confirms the integration is active.
✍️ Step 2: Open Your Generated Article
Once your Webflow account is connected, navigate to the article you want to publish.
- Go to Content (What are we writing today?) in the left-hand navigation.
- Locate your finished article in the article list and click its title to open the editor.
- Review the content and make any final edits before publishing.
📤 Step 3: Publish to Webflow
With your article open and ready, follow these steps to send it to your Webflow CMS.
- Click the Publish button in the top-right corner of the editor.
- From the publishing options, select Webflow.
- Choose the Collection within Webflow where the article should be saved (for example, your Blog Posts collection).
- Map the article fields — such as Title, Body, and Slug — to the corresponding fields in your Webflow collection.
- Toggle Publish to Webflow on if you want the item to go live immediately, or leave it off to save it as a draft in Webflow.
- Click Confirm to push the article.
A success notification will confirm the article has been sent to your Webflow CMS. You can verify it by logging in to Webflow and checking the relevant collection.
⚠️ Common Issues and Fixes
- Connection error during authorisation: Make sure you are logged in to the correct Webflow account before clicking Connect. If the error persists, disconnect and reconnect the integration.
- Collection not appearing in the dropdown: Ensure the Webflow site has at least one CMS Collection set up. Collections must exist in Webflow before they appear in Search Atlas.
- Fields not mapping correctly: Field names in Search Atlas must match the field types in your Webflow collection. For example, the Body field requires a Rich Text field type in Webflow.
- Article saved as draft instead of published: Check that the Publish to Webflow toggle was switched on before confirming. You can also publish the item manually inside the Webflow editor.
💡 Tips for a Smooth Workflow
- Set up your Webflow CMS Collection structure before generating articles to ensure field mapping goes smoothly.
- Use the Slug field to control the article URL in Webflow. Search Atlas auto-generates a slug from the title, but you can edit it before publishing.
- If you manage multiple Webflow sites, you can switch the connected site at any time from the top-right avatar (Account Menu) > Settings > Integrations.
