A quick tour involves four sections in an overview of the Dashboard. To move around the interface, understanding the navigation is important. Key areas of the interface are the sidebar, header, workspace and the settings section.
Home Dashboard
What is the Home Dashboard?
The Home dashboard is the central hub showing an executive summary of your Flozi environment. It displays your Connections and Integrations in an organized overview which aids in general task management.
Navigating from the Home Dashboard
Navigating the Home Dashboard is possible using the top menu - Home, Connections, Integrations - which will allow you to navigate to Home, connect your websites and content databases, and integrate them to facilitate content publishing.

- Core Concepts
Connections
What is a Connection in Flozi?
A Connection represents the third-party resources that are connected to Flozi. These third party resources can be either content management databases with content that needs to be published or platform-based CMS that can store content that is already live.
Types of connections
There are two types of connections: Notion Database connections and Webflow Collection connections. Think of Flozi as the middleman between these two products - Notion where the content is created and stored, and Webflow where we want to publish the content. Flozi acts as a process simplifier on your behalf, helping reduce formatting issues and making sure content does not disturb the structural design of the platform interface.
Setting up a new connection
You can add connections in two places on the interface. Here is a step by step guide to add a new connections.
Connections page
- Click on the New Connection button
- Choose the provider (Notion or Webflow)
- This will take you to the O-Auth screen of the provider
- Manager permissions there using functions like Add or Remove
- Approve it by clicking on Authorize App
- It will bring you back to Flozi and you can check Add connection (database or collection) at the connections page
Home page
- You should choose the provider from toggle
- Once you have chosen your provider, please click on the Add Connection card
- This will take you to the O-Auth screen of the chosen provider.
Managing existing connections
Unfortunately, there is no feature to remove collections at Flozi. All the approved ones will be visible at connections. If you are looking to add or remove connections, they can do done using O-Auth process as mentioned above. Only approved connections will be visible on Flozi.
Note: When removing any connections just be sure to check that there are no associated integrations because it will affect existing integrations which are using the connections.
Connections Dashboard
Overview of the Connections Dashboard
The Connections dashboard functions as a central interface for managing all your connected third-party resources. It shows all available connections with a numerical counter (e.g., "33 Connections"). It also displays Connection cards organized in a grid layout.
Connection types and information
Webflow connections show the Webflow logo and site name (e.g., "/User's Exceptional Site"). This shows the connections that have been created. Notion connections show the Notion logo and workspace name (e.g., "Workspace Test Database 2"). Green status indicators for active connections are clearly visually accessible.
Connection details displayed
There are quite a few connection details displayed. The Site label for Webflow connections is accessible. The Workspace label for Notion connections is accessible too.
- Collection name (e.g., "Test Collection 2", "Blog Posts", "Team Members", "Products")
- Database name (e.g., "Test Database 2", "Data 2")
Adding new connections from the dashboard
You can add new connections straight from the dashboard by using the New Connection + button in the top right. There is a blue button with clear labeling for easy identification.
Integration
What is an Integration in Flozi?
An Integration is a data source (like Notion or the Editor) connected to a specific Webflow collection. It establishes the link between your content creation tool (Eg: Notion) and your Webflow CMS.
How integrations connect data sources to Webflow
Select the source
- Editor
- Select the Webflow collection
- Click on Create
- Notion
- Select Webflow CMS
- Select Notion database
- Click create
- Match the data at table (explained in the table section)
- Click Validate and connect
Integrations Dashboard
Overview of the Integrations Dashboard
The integrations fashboard is the central interface for managing all your active integrations. It shows integrations with a numerical counter (e.g., "11 Integrations") in a grid layout.
Integration status and timing information
You can see the Integration name (e.g., "New Integration 9", "New Integration 8") as well as the last sync timestamps (e.g., "Last sync 12/05/2025, 14:11:07").
Status indicators for the integrations dashboard: green dot for active, orange dot for draft. Special statuses like "Not synced yet" for new integrations.
Integration details displayed
Webflow Website label with site name (e.g., "Ajay's Exceptional...") is how the card details are displayed. CMS label with collection name (e.g., "Blog Posts", "Test collection 2s")
Notion Database label is displayed with database name (e.g., "Data 2"). Item counts for each collection (e.g., "20", "9")

Webflow CMS
Understanding Webflow CMS structure is of paramount importance for the process. If your content database has defined properties, you should prepare your Webflow CMS for integration by grouping collection fields and mapping them to Flozi.
Notion Database
Setting up a Notion database is mandatory for Flozi integration. Recommended database structures will have defined database properties to work with Webflow CMS fields. Please do remember to check on supported field types before undertaking this task.
- Using Flozi: Core Features
Integration Dashboard
What is the Integration Dashboard?
The Integration Dashboard is Flozi's central interface for managing items within an integration. It provides a comprehensive view of all your content and its sync status.

- Republish: For items previously synced through Flozi that need updating. Republishing can be done easily, in the same space as the Publish userflow.
- Create & Publish: For Notion items that don't yet exist in Webflow.
Sync status monitoring
- Success: Indicates a successful sync with timestamp.
- N/A: Indicates item hasn't been synced yet.
Troubleshooting sync issues
Understanding error messages is crucial to understanding any issues you might face while syncing. You should also be sure to resolve content format inconsistencies.
Working with Items
Understanding Webflow collection items - Items are individual content pieces in a Webflow collection. Each item represents a single page or entry in your website. Webflow CMS comprise of individual items. Item have status indicators too - Published means the Item is live on Webflow and Not Created means the Items exist on Notion but not in Webflow. You can managing item relationships by checking how Notion items map to Webflow items. Fetching new items is possible by using the Fetch New Items From Notion button. You should also refresh your Item list frequently.
Publishing Actions
Publish
Publish sends data to an already published Webflow collection item and publishes it. It is used for items with "Published" Webflow status but "N/A" sync status. The blue button in the Actions column is for items not yet synced through Flozi. You should use Publish for first-time syncing of content that already exists in both Notion and Webflow. You can also use it when you need to update Webflow content with Notion content for the first time.
Republish
Republish sends data to an already published Webflow collection item that was previously synced. It is used for items with "Published" Webflow status and "Success" sync status. The green button in the Actions column is for previously synced items. You should use Republish when content in Notion has been updated and needs to be re-pushed to Webflow again. You should also use Republish for regular content updates after initial synchronization.
Create & Publish
Create & Publish creates a new item on Webflow, pushes the data, and publishes it. It is used when Webflow shows "Item Unavailable" and status is "Not Created". The white button with blue text in the Actions column indicates this. You should use Create & Publish when content exists in Notion but not in Webflow. You can also use it for adding completely new content to your Webflow site from Notion.
Working with Notion Content
Fetching new items from Notion
You can fetch new items from Notion by using the Fetch New Items From Notion button in the top right of the Items View. The blue button with cloud icon is easy for easy identification for the applicable button. There is also a tooltip explaining "If you have updated or added any items on Notion - we recommend you fetch the new data before syncing"
Viewing Notion items
Items are displayed in the "Notion Item" column of the Items table. The table shows the title/name of each Notion page. It also allows you to identify content from your Notion database.
Understanding item matching
The system shows how Notion items map to Webflow items. The message at the top displays "Only Webflow items with a Notion Match are shown here". Items without a match in Webflow show "Item Unavailable" in the Webflow Item column

- Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sync Failures
Common causes
Some of the most common sync failure reasons are connection timeout errors. API rate limiting, invalid field mapping and content formatting incompatibilities also contribute to sync failures.
How to resolve
You should check your internet connection status if your connection times out. You can also review error logs and adjust your field mappings for better results. Formatting content properly can resolve formatting incompatibilities since all the content type will be accounted for.
Connection Issues
If you have connection issues, you should try reconnecting with the Notion and Webflow accounts.
For Notion, you might encounter token expiration issues, permission changes and database structure changes.
For Webflow, you might have API access problems, CMS collection structure changes and authentication issues.
Please ensure you have a strong internet connection and you have your authentication documentation at hand if you encounter some of these issues. Before raising a ticket for database or collection structural changes, sync up with your team and make sure the issue has not been raised beforehand.
Content Display Problems
If you are having content display problems, you might have formatting issues or image rendering problems.
You might want to remove rich text rendering differences to remove formatting issues. This solution might result in custom formatting loss.
Image rendering problems can be caused by image size limitations and content type being in unsupported image formats. You should adopt image optimisation tips for the best results.
Error Messages Explained
Some common error codes can inform you of the nature of the issue and its origin.
400-level errors are client-side issues. 500-level errors are server-side issues and there are some sync-specific error codes that indicate sync failures.
For Webflow, you might have API access problems, CMS collection structure changes and authentication issues.
Please ensure you have a strong internet connection and you have your authentication documentation at hand if you encounter some of these issues. Before raising a ticket for database or collection structural changes, sync up with your team and make sure the issue has not been raised beforehand.
Steps to resolve each error type
- If the approved data from Notion or Webflow is not showing up in the connections
Sometimes after O-Auth process, we don’t receive data from the providers. To resolve this, please try the process again and verify the data exists in the connections.
- When syncing the error message says that the Webflow resource does not exist
Flozi only handles the live resources from Webflow. If you have collections at staging, please publish them first.
- Error says the item already exists but it does not in my Webflow collection
Sometimes even when the items/collections are deleted, they still exist in Webflow. To resolve this issue, publish the site.
- Image & video size issue
Flozi only allows images lesser than 4MB and videos lesser than 30MB make sure these are within the limit.

- Tips and Best Practices
Content Organization Strategies
As with many processes, we have a recommended set of guidelines to help you from both the Notion and Webflow sides of workflows.
For Notion database structures, we recommend using consistent page templates and standardizing page formats while creating content and getting it ready for publishing. You might also want to organize parent/child relationships in your database. Effective tagging and categorization of content is also a recommended practice. You should create paired parallels between Webflow CMS fields and Notion database properties for the best results.
Effective Webflow CMS organization
For effective Webflow CMS organization we recommend you plan the collection structure beforehand so you can optimise the structure for content reuse. When organising the collection, you should adopt CMS field naming conventions similar to the Notion database properties if possible. You should manage relationships between collections for the best efficiency.
Workflow Optimization
Creating efficient content workflows
You should establish clear publishing protocols for efficient content workflows. You should set up content review stages for content creation and storage. We recommend you use status tracking effectively for drafting and publishing records. If possible, you might want to automate routine publishing tasks.
Team collaboration tips
The best collaboration practices should manage content handoff and publishing processes as a dedicated workflow with role-based access control. Content maintenance should involve version tracking practices with scheduled backups and system revisions for quality assurance. The team should actively maintain good communication to boost collaborative practices during content development.
Content Migration
Moving existing content into Flozi
We recommend you prepare the content for migration by adopting import strategies and protocols for the process. For migration, you should set and account for content validation processes and maintenance of quality control standards. Post migration cleanup should also be planned with the required documentation having been maintained.
Bulk import strategies
We suggest using CSV imports if you want to import a lot of content at once. If possible, execute structured content migration to Webflow CMS fields are able to function at capacity. You should also set up tests for migration results and edge case scenarios.
