Overview
The Framer integration allows you to sync articles directly to your Framer CMS collection. This guide covers setup and syncing workflows.

- Open the Framer Plugin Marketplace
- Search for “Genseo”
- Click Open Plugin

- Create the collection as suggested
Step 3: Generate API Key in Genseo
- Go to your Genseo Dashboard
- Navigate to Integrations
- Click on Framer
- Click Generate new API Key
- Copy the generated API key
