Connect
- In Narrative, open Personalize → Connectors and click Connect on Webflow.
- Approve the request on Webflow’s consent screen. You can restrict the install to a single site.
- Pick the site Narrative should work with.
- Confirm the CMS collection where new pages should land. Narrative suggests the best candidate (a collection with a rich-text field and a published template page) and pre-fills the field mapping; you always confirm. You can also skip this step and connect the site only.
Publish a change
- Approve a page recommendation in the Improve tab. When the connector is eligible, the button reads Approve & Stage in Webflow.
- Narrative creates the page as an unpublished draft in your mapped collection. Use View draft page to open it in the Webflow Designer.
- Publish the item in Webflow when you are happy with it.
- Narrative detects the publish automatically (daily) and moves the change to Done with the exact publish timestamp. Impact tracking starts there.
Modes
- Draft-first (default): everything above. Nothing goes live without you publishing in Webflow.
- Publish on approve (opt-in): approving publishes the single item immediately and Narrative records the live URL. Only that item is published, never your whole site.
What the connector will never do
- Publish your site. Only the single approved item (or page) is ever published.
- Inject code. The connector writes CMS content only; everything it creates is visible in your CMS and fully removable.
- Touch existing content. If a page slug collides with an item Narrative didn’t create, it refuses and asks you for a new slug.
- Guess. If your copy contains structures your collection can’t represent, Narrative refuses and offers the bundle instead of silently degrading the content.
