Publish to Framer CMS

Connect PrismSEO to your Framer project and publish generated articles directly into a CMS collection — as a draft or a live item. PrismSEO maps each article to your collection fields and updates the existing item on a slug match, so re-publishing never creates duplicates.

Best for startups and design-led teams that build their site in Framer and want SEO content shipping without leaving it.

Prerequisites

• A Framer project on a plan that includes the CMS and API access.
• A CMS collection for blog posts, with routes like /blogs and /blogs/:slug.
• A Personal Access Token (API token) that can read and write CMS items.
• Collection fields that can receive an article — at minimum a title, slug, and rich-text/HTML body.

Step 1 — Prepare your Framer collection

PrismSEO matches your collection fields by name, so name them clearly. Recommended fields:

• Title — plain text (the collection's title field).
• Slug — the collection's slug field.
• Content — a rich text / HTML field for the article body.
• Excerpt — plain text (optional).
• SEO Title and SEO Description — plain text (optional).
• Cover Image — image field (optional).

If your body field is a Framer "Rich Text" field, PrismSEO sends HTML-first content that Framer renders as formatted text. Keep one dedicated body field per collection.

Step 2 — Collect your Framer values

From Framer, gather:

• API Token — your Personal Access Token (create it in Framer account settings).
• Project ID — your project's ID or URL.
• Collection ID — the target CMS collection's ID.
• Site URL *(optional)* — your published domain, used only so Publish History can show a clean final URL like https://yoursite.com/blogs/your-slug.

Step 3 — Connect Framer in PrismSEO

• Open Dashboard → Integrations → Framer CMS.
• Enter the API token, project ID, collection ID, and optional site URL.
• Click Connect Framer CMS.

PrismSEO validates the token, project, and collection before saving, and inspects the collection's fields so it knows where to place each part of the article.

Step 4 — Publish an article

• Open or generate an article in Content.
• Click Publish → Framer.
• Choose a mode:

- Draft — creates an unpublished CMS item.

- Publish — creates a live CMS item.

• Confirm. PrismSEO writes the item into your collection and records the result in Publish History.

If an item with the same slug already exists, PrismSEO updates that item instead of creating a new one.

Field mapping

PrismSEO sends these values and matches them to your collection fields automatically:

• title → your Title field
• slug → your Slug field
• contentHtml → your Content (rich text / HTML) field
• excerpt → your Excerpt field
• seoTitle → your SEO Title field
• seoDescription → your SEO Description field
• coverImage → your Cover Image field
• status → draft or published, from the mode you selected

Fields it can't find a match for are simply skipped — the publish still succeeds with the fields that do match.

Troubleshooting

Every attempt shows in Publish History with its status. Common issues:

• Invalid token / project / collection — double-check all three values; a token from a different Framer account or project will fail validation.
• Slug collision constraints — if your collection enforces unique slugs, PrismSEO updates the existing item; make sure your slug field is the real slug field.
• Field not populated — the field name in your collection doesn't match a recognized name. Rename it (e.g. "Content", "Excerpt", "SEO Title") so PrismSEO can map it.
• Timeout / upstream Framer error — retry, then reconnect the credentials if it persists.
