To ensure that multi-line text sent through Zapier to a CMS rich text field is rendered correctly on the live site in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Zapier integration: Set up a Zapier integration to send the multi-line text to the desired CMS rich text field in Webflow. Zapier allows you to connect different apps together and automate workflows.

  2. Choose the correct data format: When setting up the Zapier integration, ensure that you select the correct data format for the multi-line text. Depending on the source of the data, you may need to choose the appropriate format, such as plain text or HTML.

  3. Check the incoming data structure: Review the incoming data structure in the CMS rich text field to ensure that it aligns with the expected format. This is important because different data formats may require different handling in Webflow.

  4. Format the text in Webflow: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the CMS collection that contains the rich text field. Open the collection item that corresponds to the data being sent through Zapier.

  5. Edit the rich text field: Inside the CMS collection item, locate the rich text field and click on it to open the editor. Make any necessary formatting changes to ensure the multi-line text appears correctly on the live site.

  6. Test and preview: Save the changes made to the rich text field and preview the live site to verify that the multi-line text is rendered correctly. Check for any formatting issues or unwanted line breaks.

By following these steps, you can ensure that multi-line text sent through Zapier to a CMS rich text field is rendered correctly on the live site in Webflow.
