Hey everyone! Vincent from Finsweet here, and I’m thrilled to share some cool news:

We’ve just launched CMS Bridge! :tada:

CMS Bridge is a tool that lets you sync data between Webflow CMS and Airtable. We know many of you use:

  • Airtable as your go-to No-Code database for crucial business data
  • Webflow as your favorite No-Code visual development platform for your website

But often, the same data lives in both platforms separately. We think it would be better to have a single source of truth.

That’s why we built CMS Bridge—a native Airtable Extension to bridge this gap. It empowers you to use Airtable as the single source of truth, giving Airtable superpowers to Webflow CMS!

  • Use it on staging or production websites - we don’t charge based on domain type
  • One subscription = Sync unlimited Webflow websites & Airtable bases
  • Affordable: $50/mo for Unlimited Credits (on the annual plan)
  • Free human support on the Finsweet Forum for every plan

We’re live on ProductHunt today! I’d be thrilled if you could check it out and show some love, it’s super important for us: CMS Bridge by Finsweet - Sync Webflow CMS and Airtable ⚡ | Product Hunt

See you around! And thanks for the previous feedback some of you sent me, it’s really helpful!

^ @vincent this is Magic. I might have to subscribe just on principle.

The the client projects all need to be in the agency / freelancer’s workspace, or can they be in client-owned workspaces as well?

Also, is the syncing automated in the background? I remember its predecessor nobull worked through the browser which had to be open for sync to occur.

@vincent Looks really cool! In addition to @memetican’s questions:

  • How are errors/sync issues handled? Are users notified?
  • Auto-sync is not supported. Does that mean syncs have to be manually triggered or the page has to be open (similar to what Michael asked)?
  • Possibly related to auto-sync, what is the delay (if any) for syncing?
  • Nope is the answer to some questions (Screen Shot on 2024-09-17 at 17-06-06.png - Droplr). Any plans for more support or still TBD?
  • Even on the Unlimited Plan, forum support is the only support option available?

Thanks,
Josh

Hey @memetican! I’m Rohan, the product owner of CMS Bridge.

The account must be the client’s account because it is not yet possible to transfer ownership of the Connections + the clients will be able to manage their own billing.

Currently, CMS Bridge is manual Sync only.

Hey @foxy! I’m Rohan, the product owner of CMS Bridge.

  1. CMS Bridge provides record-specific status update and posts an error message about it. Read more about it in our docs.
  2. Yes, syncs must be triggered manually, but the page (ore even the computer) can be closed because now, the syncs run in the background.
  3. Auto-Sync is not yet available.
  4. If there is an extremely high-user demand for it, then we can work on it. But currently, those aren’t on our roadmap.
  5. The app is simple, intuitive and robust; so we believe the docs & Forum support will suffice, but if there’s a super-priority request, then we can arrange a live-call support for the Unlimited Plan users.

Thanks Rohan, got it.

Just some quick notes for you as you evolve CMS Bridge.

Currently I host with an “agency-centric” approach, where most client sites are hosted in our workspace and I bill them. There are a number of shared services I include in the hosting fee. I like the Airtable admin approach and in general I can find a solid Airtable sync service that I can share across all clients ( on your $50/pm plan ), then I’d make Airtable a more central part of builds.

Most clients don’t “need” it, but would find it much more convenient than the CMS, to e.g. update service pricing.

The one-way Airtable-to-CMS sync is fine, but would need to be automated for us as a lot of Airtable content is updated by automations. Localization would be essential too. For us, Webflow ECom support is less of a consideration, but also a factor.

Nice work! I’ll be following closely to see how this evolves.

@memetican sounds like our Unlimited Plan would be the perfect plan for you so it’s priced so competitively.

We do have plans on integrating auto-sync.

If I may, could you please support us on ProductHunt? We only have <4H left and we’re really close to getting on the Top 10 products of the day List. If possible, share the message with your network too.

Thank you for your support.
