How to Connect Framer to Writelio

Send articles into a Framer CMS Collection from the editor.

Connect Writelio to Framer and publish articles straight into a Framer CMS Collection, so your blog stays in Framer with no copy-paste. Connection uses a Framer CMS API token and your target Collection ID.

Before you start

What you’ll need from Framer

API TokenIn Framer, open your project’s CMS API settings and generate / copy the CMS API token.
CMS Collection IDThe ID of the target CMS Collection (shown in the Collection’s settings / API panel).

Connect Framer in 4 steps

1
Enable the Framer CMS API

In your Framer project, open the CMS API settings, enable API access, and copy the API token and the Collection ID of your blog Collection.

2
Add the connection in Writelio

In Integrations, open the Framer card → Configure, paste the API Token and CMS Collection ID, and click Save.

3
Test the connection

In the editor, open Share & Publish → Framer and click Test to confirm Writelio can reach your Collection.

4
Publish

Click Publish to create a new item in your Framer CMS Collection with the article content and metadata. Publish it in Framer when you are ready to go live.

What gets published

Publishing to Framer creates a CMS item containing:

Style the Collection template once in Framer and every published article inherits your design automatically.

Troubleshooting

Connection test fails
Re-copy the API token and Collection ID — a single wrong character will fail. Make sure CMS API access is enabled for the project the Collection belongs to.
Item created but fields are empty
Your Collection field names must exist for the content to map. Confirm the Collection has a content/body field and re-publish.
Article not visible on the site
New CMS items may need to be published within Framer (and the site re-published) before they appear live.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my Collection ID?
In Framer’s CMS settings for the Collection — it is shown alongside the API access details.
Do I design the post layout?
Yes — build the CMS Collection template in Framer once. Writelio supplies the content; Framer applies your design.
Can I review before going live?
Yes — the item is added to your Collection and you control when it is published on your Framer site.
