Yes, it is possible to integrate Webflow with Medium using the CMS feature and Zapier. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Set up the Webflow CMS:
  • If you haven't already, create a Webflow account and start building your website using Webflow's visual editor.
  • Use the CMS feature to create and structure your content. You can define different fields and collections based on your requirements.
  1. Connect Webflow and Medium using Zapier:
  • Sign up for Zapier if you don't have an account already.
  • In Zapier, create a new Zap ('Zap' is Zapier's term for an automated workflow).
  • Choose Webflow as the trigger app and select the trigger event based on your requirement, such as "New Item in Collection".
  • Connect your Webflow account to Zapier by providing the necessary credentials.
  • Test the Webflow trigger to ensure it is working correctly.
  1. Set up the Medium action:
  • As the action app, choose Medium from the list of available apps in Zapier.
  • Select the action you want to perform on Medium, such as "Create Story" or "Create Post".
  • Connect your Medium account to Zapier by providing the necessary credentials.
  • Map the fields from your Webflow trigger to the corresponding fields in the Medium action. This ensures that the data from Webflow CMS is passed correctly to Medium.
  • Test the action to ensure it is set up correctly.
  1. Activate and test the Zap:
  • Once you have completed the setup, activate the Zap to start the integration.
  • Create a new item in your Webflow CMS to trigger the integration with Medium.
  • Zapier will automatically pass the data from Webflow to Medium and create a new story or post based on your configuration.
  • Check your Medium account to verify that the integration was successful.

By following these steps, you can integrate Webflow with Medium using the CMS feature and Zapier. This allows you to automate the process of publishing content from your Webflow CMS to your Medium publication.
