To use custom fields for content being published to Webflow via an external editor, follow the steps typically associated with configuring the integration and then applying the fields within the content editor.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided references:
Based on the steps provided, adding or using custom fields related to Webflow involves interacting with an external platform or editor that integrates with your Webflow site. These steps describe the process within that specific third-party system, rather than directly within the Webflow Designer or CMS panel itself.
The process generally involves configuring the connection to your Webflow site within the external platform and then utilizing the custom fields provided by that platform within its content editor.
Configuring the Webflow Connection
The initial steps outline how to navigate within the external platform to manage your Webflow integration:
- Navigate to Webflow Channels: Go to your channels within the external platform and select Webflow 👉 Quick link.
- Edit Website Settings: Click on "Edit" to the right of the specific website name you wish to configure.
- Locate Webflow Field: Scroll down until you reach the Webflow field. This section likely contains settings related to the connection, potentially including options for mapping data or managing fields relevant to the integration. (The specifics of configuring the custom field itself at this stage are not detailed in the references).
Using Custom Fields in the Article Editor
Once the integration is configured, you can typically use custom fields when creating or editing content (like articles) within the external platform's editor before publishing to Webflow.
Based on the references, here's where you find and use custom fields for your article content:
- Access the Editor: Go to the editor for the article you are working on.
- Navigate to Summary Tab: Locate and select the "Summary" tab within the editor interface.
- Find Custom Fields: Scroll down within the Summary tab until you find the section labeled "Custom fields".
Within this section, you would typically find the custom fields available for your content type. You can then input data into these fields, which the integration would ideally map to corresponding fields in your Webflow CMS Collection when the content is published or updated.
Summary of Steps from References:
| Step | Action | Location/Context |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Configuring Connection) | Go to channels > Webflow > Quick link > Edit Website | External Platform/Integration Settings |
| 2 (Configuring Connection) | Scroll down to the Webflow field | External Platform/Integration Settings |
| 3 (Using in Editor) | Go to article editor > Summary tab > Scroll down to "Custom fields" | External Platform's Content Editor |
This process allows you to enrich your content with specific data points using custom fields managed by the external platform, which are then synchronized with your Webflow site.
