PilotScribe publishes into a Webflow CMS collection, authenticated with an API token. You'll generate a token, copy the target collection's ID, and paste both into the Publishing tab in PilotScribe.

The destination should be a standard Blog-style CMS collection with a rich-text body field, so PilotScribe can write the article content.

What you'll need

API token — with Read & Write access on CMS
Collection ID — of your blog CMS collection

Steps

Generate an API token. Go to Account / Workspace Settings > Apps & integrations > API access and click Generate token.
Set the token scopes. Give the token Read & Write on CMS. That's all PilotScribe needs to create posts — keep other scopes off. Copy the token; it's shown only once.
Find your Collection ID. Open the CMS collection in the Designer, open Collection settings, and copy the Collection ID. Make sure this collection is your Blog-style collection with a rich-text body field.
Paste into PilotScribe. In app.pilotscribe.com, open your site, go to the Publishing tab, choose Webflow, then fill in:
- API token → the token you generated
- Collection ID → the ID you copied from Collection settings
Run Test connection to verify the credentials, then save.

Scopes & permissions

Only CMS Read & Write is required. Don't grant site-publishing, forms, or ecommerce scopes you won't use — minimal is best, and a tightly-scoped token is safer if it's ever exposed.
