The Prompting Company publishes to a Webflow CMS collection using a site-scoped API token.
Before you start
- Workspace admin on the Webflow site.
- A CMS collection created for the content type you want to publish (e.g. Blog Posts).
Generate an API token
- In Webflow Designer, click the Webflow logo (top-left) and open Site Settings.
- Go to the Apps & integrations tab.
- Scroll to API access and click Generate API token.
- Grant CMS read/write scope for the site that owns your collection.
- Copy the token.
Get your collection ID
- In Designer, open the CMS panel.
- Click the collection you want to publish to.
- Click the ⚙ Settings icon.
- Copy the Collection ID at the bottom.
Use the Collection ID, not the slug. They look similar but the ID is a longer alphanumeric string.
Match your collection field slugs
TPC defaults to these field slugs:
If you renamed fields in Webflow, paste the exact slug (not the visible label). Image fields are optional.
Connect in TPC
- Open Settings → Integrations in your TPC product workspace.
- Select Webflow.
- Enter the API token, collection ID, and any custom field slugs.
- Click Save, then Test connection.
Troubleshooting
401 Unauthorized
Token is missing CMS write scope, or the token was generated for a different site. Regenerate on the correct site with CMS read/write enabled.
400 “unknown field”
A field slug in TPC does not exist on the collection. Confirm field slugs in Webflow Designer → CMS → Collection settings → Fields.
Draft published but not visible in the CMS panel
Refresh Designer. Webflow’s Designer caches the collection list — the item appears after a refresh.
