Framer CMS Plugin — Managed Collections

Examples

Create a fictional staging collection, approve its fields and publishing audience, then publish one canary entry. Verify a duplicate sync is suppressed and an unapproved destination receives neither content nor visitor data.

Overview

Build a Framer plugin that syncs external data into CMS Managed Collections. Managed Collections are plugin-controlled — your plugin creates the schema and populates items. This is the primary integration pattern for connecting Framer to external CMSes, databases, or APIs.

Prerequisites

• Completed framer-install-auth setup
• Plugin dev server running
