Sync REST API Data to CMS with Syncmate Webflow App
Run Syncmate from a sidebar in Webflow Designer to send REST API data into CMS collections.
Once set up, your Webflow CMS collections can contain structured data brought in from external REST APIs. You configure a request, test its response, then map response fields to CMS fields.
Syncmate runs in the Webflow Designer sidebar and is made by Flowout. It can connect sources such as Airtable, Contentful, Sanity, and HubSpot through REST APIs.
Feature notes
- Choose Bearer tokens, API keys, Basic Auth, or OAuth 2.0, and set custom headers and query parameters.
- Handle paginated responses and configure sync logic for your data.
- Start a sync manually or schedule it for every minute, hour, day, or week.
- Use logs and retries to manage errors, with alerts sent through Slack, email, or SMS.
Caveats

Where it fits
The app suits teams bringing products, listings, content, or other structured records from external APIs into Webflow CMS. It provides a way to map API responses to collection fields and keep data moving on a chosen schedule or by manual runs.
