Start here

KnotCMS lets you edit content in Notion and sync it to Framer CMS. Setup happens in the web dashboard; the Framer plugin opens that dashboard for you.

Start with the content you have

You can create a project from any of these starting points. All three use the same four-step wizard.

You already have…	Choose this path in setup
A Framer CMS collection	Create a new Notion database from Framer
A Notion database and a Framer CMS collection	Connect existing databases
A Notion database	Create a new Framer CMS collection from Notion

After setup, ongoing edits flow Notion → Framer CMS. Importing from Framer gives you a Notion database to edit from then on.

Create your first project Follow Connect → Direction → Fields → Automation, with screenshots for each step and checks for your first sync.

What you need

• A Google account to sign in.
• A Framer project with CMS access and a Server API key.
• Access to the Notion workspace where your content lives or will be created.

You only need an existing Notion database if your chosen path uses one. Google Sheets is coming soon.

Note

Basic is free: one project, 10 lifetime syncs, and up to 50 rows per sync or import. Automatic and manual syncs share that allowance; the initial project-creation sync is free. Plans & limits

Syncing and publishing are separate

Sync puts your content into Framer CMS. Publish updates your live website or preview. You can publish from Framer yourself, or enable auto-publish on a paid plan.

The setup guide shows both stages so you can tell when your content has arrived and when your site has updated.
