Averi + Webflow: Publish Content to Your Webflow CMS

Webflow has become the platform of choice for design-conscious marketing teams that want both visual control and CMS flexibility. Its CMS is genuinely powerful — support for rich content types, custom fields, multi-reference relationships, and a publishing API that enables real workflow automation.

The Averi + Webflow integration puts that API to work, connecting your AI-powered content creation workflow directly to your Webflow CMS. Research, draft, review, and optimize content in Averi — then publish to Webflow with your fields, metadata, and structure intact.

The Case for Connecting Averi to Webflow

Webflow teams that don't have a structured content workflow typically hit the same bottlenecks: content creation happens outside Webflow (usually Google Docs), then gets manually pasted in, reformatted (again), and published. Every piece of content requires a designer or developer's involvement to get from draft to live, or requires the content team to use the Webflow editor directly — where they're working in a tool that's primarily designed for building, not writing.

Averi solves this by making the content workflow independent from the Webflow editing environment. Content people work in Averi — research, draft, review, all in a content-native environment. The integration handles the last mile: publishing to Webflow with your field structure preserved.

The result for your Webflow site: consistent, high-quality content published at velocity, without requiring your designer or developer to be in the loop for every post.

Setting Up the Integration

What You'll Need

• Averi account (https://app.averi.ai/sign-up)
• A Webflow site on a paid plan (CMS and API access required)
• Your Webflow CMS collection set up with the appropriate fields
• A Webflow API token

Step 1: Prepare Your Webflow CMS Collection

For a standard blog setup, your Webflow CMS Blog Posts collection should have at minimum:

• Name (required by Webflow for every CMS item)
• Slug (required by Webflow)
• Body (rich text) — your main article content
• Summary / Excerpt (plain text) — 1-2 sentence description for cards and metadata
• Published Date (date/time)
• Author (reference to an Author collection, or plain text)
• Featured Image (image)
• SEO Title (plain text, optional but recommended)
• SEO Description (plain text, optional but recommended)

If you're using reference fields (like linking to a Category or Author collection), set those up in Webflow first so the items exist before you start publishing blog posts.

Step 2: Get Your Webflow API Token

1. In Webflow, go to Site Settings → Integrations → API Access
2. Generate a new API token
3. Note your Site ID (also found in Site Settings)
4. Copy and save both securely

Step 3: Connect in Averi

1. In Averi, go to Settings → Integrations → CMS
2. Select Webflow
3. Enter your API token and Site ID
4. Averi will fetch your available CMS collections
5. Select the collection you want to publish to
6. Map your Averi fields to your Webflow collection fields
7. Test the connection with a test item

Step 4: Field Mapping

Map your Averi content fields to your Webflow collection fields. Critical mappings:

• Article Title → Webflow Name field
• Content Body → Body (Rich Text) field
• URL Slug → Slug field
• Excerpt/Summary → your summary field
• SEO Description → your meta description field

For reference fields (like Category or Author), you'll map to a specific Webflow reference — these need to be existing CMS items in the referenced collection.

Publishing Workflows

Standard Editorial Workflow

This is the workflow for teams with a content review process:

1. Research and brief in Averi — keyword research, topic brief, sources
2. Draft using Averi's AI-assisted drafting workflow with your Brand Core
3. Internal review in Averi — editor and subject matter expert feedback
4. Finalize — polish copy, confirm SEO metadata, set slug
5. Stage to Webflow — push as a Draft (not Published) in Webflow
6. Visual QA — preview the post in Webflow's staging environment
7. Publish in Webflow — or set a scheduled publish date

The Webflow Visual QA Step

This step is worth calling out specifically, because Webflow's rich CMS rendering is more complex than most other platforms. Your Webflow designer built a specific article template that renders your content — and you want to confirm it looks right before going live.

Things to check in your visual QA:

• Headers (H2, H3) rendering correctly
• Paragraph spacing and line height
• Bold, italic, and link formatting
• Embedded images (if any in body)
• Featured image on the blog card and article page
• Responsive behavior on mobile
• CTA blocks rendering if you have them in your template

This QA typically takes 5 minutes per post once you have a consistent template. It's worth not skipping.

Fast-Track Workflow for Approved Content

For teams where Averi is the approval gate (content is approved before it leaves Averi), you can publish directly to Webflow in Published status, bypassing the Draft step. This is fastest but removes the visual QA step — appropriate for content types with a consistent, simple structure.

Content Refresh Workflow

Webflow sites accumulate a body of published content that needs periodic refreshing. Use Averi to:

1. Pull the existing content from your Webflow Library into Averi
2. Update and improve in Averi (better examples, updated data, improved SEO)
3. Re-publish the updated version to Webflow, overwriting the existing item

This creates a clean update record in Averi while keeping your Webflow CMS current.

Advanced Use Cases

Multi-Collection Publishing

If your Webflow site has multiple content types — blog posts, customer stories, resource library items, and product updates, for example — you can configure separate Averi connections for each collection.

This is particularly powerful for startup marketing teams that need to maintain multiple content types simultaneously without losing track of what's where.

Programmatic Landing Pages

Webflow's CMS can power landing pages (use-case pages, industry pages, location pages) in addition to blog content. Use Averi to create the copy for these pages in bulk, then push to the corresponding Webflow CMS collection. Your Webflow designer builds the template once; your content team fills it with targeted copy at scale.

Localization

For multilingual Webflow sites (using Webflow's native localization or a third-party i18n approach), Averi can produce language-specific versions of your content and publish to the appropriate locale collection or field structure.

Tips for the Best Results

Keep your Webflow collection structure simple: More CMS fields mean more mapping complexity and more opportunities for publishing errors. Stick to the fields you genuinely use in your Webflow template — you can always add fields later.

Use staging to catch issues early: Webflow's staging environment is valuable — use it consistently before publishing live. Set your Averi default to push as "Draft" and do a visual QA pass in staging.

Standardize your slug format: Decide your URL structure and slug format before you start publishing at volume. Changing slugs after content has been indexed by Google means managing 301 redirects — doable, but extra work.

Set consistent SEO metadata standards: Define in your Averi workflow that every post must have a unique SEO title (under 60 characters) and meta description (under 155 characters) before it can be published. Averi's publishing checklist can enforce this.

Sync your content calendar: Use Averi's content queue as your editorial calendar, and align your Webflow publish dates with it. This gives you visibility into the full content pipeline in one place.

Common Issues and Solutions

Problem: "Rich text" content doesn't render in Webflow after publishing Solution: Webflow Rich Text fields have specific supported content blocks. Verify your Averi content doesn't include unsupported block types. Common culprits: HTML tables (not supported in Webflow Rich Text), certain embedded media types, and custom HTML.

Problem: CMS item is created but doesn't appear on the site Solution: Webflow CMS items need to be both Published (status) and have the staging environment published. Publish your Webflow site after pushing content from Averi to make changes live.

Problem: Reference fields (like Category) aren't mapping correctly Solution: Reference fields require the referenced item to already exist in Webflow. Create your categories, authors, and other reference items in Webflow first, then map to them in Averi using the item IDs.

Problem: Publishing too slowly for high-volume teams Solution: Batch your publishing runs. Create 10-20 items in Averi, review them all, then push in a batch. This is faster than pushing one at a time and reduces API call volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Averi + Webflow integration require a developer to set up?

No developer required. The setup uses Webflow's standard API and CMS features, which are accessible through the Webflow dashboard. The field mapping step is straightforward if your CMS structure is standard. If you have a complex Webflow CMS with many custom reference fields, a developer might save you setup time — but it's not required.

Can Averi publish to Webflow's Ecommerce product catalog?

Currently, the Averi + Webflow integration focuses on CMS collections. Webflow Ecommerce product data has a separate API and structure. Contact Averi's support team about roadmap plans for Ecommerce content support.

What's the difference between pushing as Draft vs. Published in the integration?

Draft items in Webflow exist in the CMS but aren't visible on the live site. Published items are live. We recommend defaulting to Draft for a visual QA step. If you're publishing time-sensitive content and have done your quality review in Averi, direct-to-Published is fine.

Can I pull existing Webflow content into Averi for editing?

Averi supports importing existing content to your Library for management and editing. You can then re-publish updates to Webflow. This is useful for content refresh workflows where you're updating a large existing content archive.

How does the integration handle Webflow's two-stage publishing (staging vs. live)?

Averi publishes to your Webflow CMS. Whether that content is visible on staging vs. live is controlled by Webflow's standard publishing flow. You control which environment you're publishing your Webflow site to — Averi just manages the CMS content.
