Webflow Setup Guide
Connect your Webflow site to SlopAds using API keys for seamless CMS publishing

Step 1: Generate API Key
Access Site Settings
Log in to Webflow, select your site, and navigate to Site Settings → Integrations.

API access requires a Webflow CMS plan or higher. Free and Basic plans do not include API access.
Copy Your API Key
Webflow will generate an API key that looks like this:
a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0Your API key provides full access to your Webflow CMS. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.
Step 2: Find Your Collection ID
Identify Your Blog Collection
In Webflow Designer, go to the CMS tab and select your blog posts collection (usually called "Blog Posts" or "Articles").
Get Collection ID
The Collection ID is in the CMS panel URL:
https://webflow.com/design/yoursite?collectionId=ABC123XYZCopy the collectionId value from the URL (e.g., ABC123XYZ).
Step 3: Connect to SlopAds
Add Webflow Connection
In your SlopAds dashboard:
- Go to Settings → Content Destinations
- Click Add Connection
- Select Webflow
Enter Connection Details
Provide the following information:
- API Token: The API key you generated in Step 3
- Collection ID: The collection ID from Step 5
Map CMS Fields
SlopAds will automatically detect your Webflow CMS fields. Map them to our content fields:
- Title Field → Name or Title
- Content Field → Post Body or Content
- Slug Field → Slug
- Meta Description → SEO Description (if available)
Test & Save
Click Test Connection to verify everything works, then Save.
You can now publish content directly to your Webflow CMS collection from SlopAds.
Publishing Tips
Draft vs Published
Published items appear immediately on your live site. Use draft mode to review content before making it live.
Rich Text Formatting
SlopAds preserves heading hierarchy, lists, and links in Webflow's rich text format.
Collection Item Limits
Webflow CMS plans have collection item limits (10,000 for standard, 25,000 for advanced). Monitor your usage to avoid hitting these limits.
Troubleshooting
Invalid API Token
Solution: Regenerate your API token in Webflow and update the connection in SlopAds.
Collection Not Found
Solution: Verify the Collection ID is correct. Make sure you're copying the ID from the correct collection.
Publishing Fails
Solution: Check that all required fields in your Webflow collection are being mapped. Required fields must have values to publish successfully.
