Pipeline steps

Section titled “Pipeline steps”
  1. Trigger — You click Sync now, or Notion sends a webhook (paid).
  2. Fetch — Worker reads Notion rows for mapped properties.
  3. Transform — Values are converted to Framer field types.
  4. Reconcile — Framer items are added, updated, or removed to match Notion.
  5. Publish — Optional publish() / deploy() on paid plans.

Debouncing

Section titled “Debouncing”

Webhook events are debounced (~10s after the last change) so rapid Notion edits produce one sync, not dozens.

Headless

Section titled “Headless”

Sync runs on KnotCMS servers. You do not need the Framer plugin open — the plugin only opens the dashboard. Setup, OAuth, and mapping all happen on the web.
