Integrating RankPill with your Framer project allows you to seamlessly sync your AI-generated content directly into your Framer CMS collections. This is achieved by using the official RankPill plugin for Framer, which pulls articles from your RankPill account and populates your CMS collection with article data including title, content, meta description, and featured images.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- An active Framer project with CMS enabled
- A Framer CMS collection created for your blog posts
- Access to your Framer project settings
Connecting Your Framer Project
Navigate to Settings → Integrations in your RankPill dashboard and click on the Framer integration. An API key will be automatically generated and displayed. This key is unique to your business and required to authenticate your Framer project with RankPill.
Installing the Plugin
- Open your Framer project
- Navigate to the Insert menu
- Search for "RankPill" in the Plugins section
- Install the RankPill plugin
Configuring the Plugin
Once installed, drag the RankPill plugin from your assets onto your Framer canvas. The plugin's configuration panel will appear, prompting you for:
- API Key - Paste the API key from your RankPill dashboard
- CMS Collection - Select the Framer CMS collection you want to sync your articles with
After configuring the plugin, you can fetch articles from your RankPill account. The plugin allows you to filter articles by their status (e.g., published, generated), giving you control over which articles you want to bring into your Framer project.
How Syncing Works
The Framer integration is a sync CMS, which means articles sync directly to your Framer CMS collection and display instantly on your website once synced. No separate publishing step is required in Framer.
Important: Framer doesn't support automatic syncing due to platform limitations. You must manually click "Sync" in the Framer plugin to get new articles each time. After syncing articles, remember to manually update their status to "Published" in RankPill to track which articles are live on your site.
Troubleshooting
Articles Not Appearing on Website:
- Check that your Framer site is properly set up to display CMS content
- Ensure your blog page template is connected to the correct CMS collection
- Verify articles are appearing in your Framer CMS collection after syncing
Plugin Not Fetching Articles:
- Verify your API key is correctly entered in the plugin settings
- Check that you have articles in RankPill with the status you're filtering for
- Try regenerating your API key in RankPill and updating it in Framer
Cannot Edit Synced Articles:
- Articles synced from RankPill are read-only in Framer
- To make changes, edit the article in RankPill first
- After editing, sync again in Framer to reflect the changes
Articles Stay "Scheduled" Status:
- This is expected behavior - syncing doesn't automatically change the status in RankPill
- Manually change status to "Published" in RankPill after syncing to track live articles
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why don't articles automatically sync to Framer?
A: Framer's platform doesn't support automatic content syncing. You must manually click "Sync" in the RankPill plugin each time you want to fetch new articles from RankPill.
Q: Will synced articles appear on my live website immediately?
A: Yes! Once articles are synced to your Framer CMS collection, they will display instantly on your live website. No separate publishing step is needed in Framer.
Q: Can I edit articles in Framer after syncing?
A: No. Articles synced from RankPill are read-only in Framer to ensure consistency. Make edits in RankPill, then sync again to update Framer.
Q: What happens if I regenerate my API key?
A: You'll need to update the API key in your Framer plugin configuration. Your existing synced articles will remain in Framer, but you won't be able to sync new articles until you update the key.

A: Yes! You can use the same API key in multiple Framer projects. Each project can sync to different CMS collections as needed.
