Notion Page Sync!

📝 TL;DR

Sync Notion page content to Webflow and other apps!


✏️ Write in Notion, see it instantly on your site

You can now sync headings, images, videos, & more from Notion pages out to other apps. Imagine writing an entire blog post entirely in Notion and it instantly appears on your Webflow site. Even crazier, Notion AI will write entire blog posts that sync instantly as well  🤯.

This is one of the most powerful features we've ever built. We hope you enjoy!

For a list of supported blocks (hint - we support almost all of them) check out our docs.

Whalesync Memberships Sync (to GA)


📝 TL;DR

Webflow Memberships Sync is now available to everyone! (out of Beta)


✏️ Webflow Memberships Sync

About Webflow Memberships Sync

With our Webflow Memberships Sync, you can now manage all of your users from within apps like Airtable or Notion! This makes it easy to:

  • Create BI dashboards on your users (in Airtable)
  • Bulk update users
  • Connect your users to other information (e.g. billing info)

‍

Getting Set Up

Webflow Memberships sync is available on all Webflow plans. To sync Webflow users, simply choose "User accounts" from the Whalesync table mapping page:

‍

If you want to sync Webflow users with Airtable, you can also copy our free User Accounts Airtable template here.


Supported Fields

We currently support the following fields for Webflow Memberships:

Since Webflow Memberships is still a beta Webflow feature, it has slightly more limited API support. As Webflow moves the feature out of beta, we'll likely be able to add support for more fields.

‍

Learn More

Check out our docs for more info on the new feature.

‍

Looking for Memberstack?

While Webflow Memberships is an amazing feature, some Webflow builders opt for Memberstack to handle their more advanced membership needs.

Good news is we're working on a Memberstack connector too! If interested in getting early access to our Memberstack connector shoot an email to: hello@whalesync.com.

Our Webflow Status extension is now in beta. Control the status of Webflow items from Airtable.

Whalesync file hosting

📝 TL;DR

Whalesync file hosting is now live for all new bases and is available opt-in for any existing bases.


📁 Whalesync File Hosting

What is Whalesync file hosting?
  • Airtable announced a change that they would expire links after a certain period of time starting February 9th
  • This means that if you're syncing Airtable attachments to a destination that also doesn't host files (e.g. Bubble) those attachments will no longer appear
  • To solve this, Whalesync will now host files and ensure they don't expire
Who might want to opt-in
  • If you are syncing Airtable attachment fields to Bubble or Notion
How to opt-in
  • Send an email to hello@whalesync.com

Mapping Improvement and Search Logs (45)

📝 TL;DR

We updated the field mapping page to help avoid issues and you can now filter logs/issues by record ID.

🗺️ Mapping improvements 

We made a few improvements to the field mapping page to make it easier to use.

  • Shows results of automapping in a blue box
  • Displays number of fields mapped for each table
  • Shows warnings on certain field mappings

🔍 Search logs / issues

You can now filter logs and issues by record ID to more easily find the log / issue you need.

➕ Request new connectors 

🔄 HTML field syncing

Not a new feature, but one that is a bit hidden. You can sync HTML with Rich Text fields by adding ".html" to the end of a field name.

See docs

➡️ What’s Next

  • Control the draft/publish status of a Webflow item from a field in other apps like Airtable

Issue Emails

📧 Issue Emails

TLDR

The Issues page in Whalesync is where you can any error an app has thrown that is preventing syncing. Whalesync will now send an email to alert you of certain new issues!


Why we built this feature

Issues is one Whalesync's most popular features, giving visibility into sync problems. That being said, previously you only saw sync issues if you checked the Issues page. Many of you told us that you'd like to be notified when new sync issues occur so you can fix the issue more quickly.


How it works

  • Whenever a new issue occurs, Whalesync will check if we've sent you an email in the last 24 hours
  • If we haven't sent you an email in the last 24 hours, you will receive an issue email with a count of your total issues
  • If we have sent you an email, we will not send you another one


What's next

We expect to invest into issue emails and add more features over time. We'd love to hear your feedback on v1!

Bubble GA + Webflow App Store

📝 TL;DR

We opened up the Bubble to everyone! We also had an awesome time at Webflow Conf meeting everyone and participating in the launch of their app store. And lots of bug fixes.


🚀 Bubble GA Launch

Bubble is now officially in GA and available to users on all plans! You can read more about the launch here.

🛒  Webflow App Store

We had to keep this one under wraps for a while, but were thrilled to finally share that we were one of fourteen launch partners for Webflow's new app store! You can check out our new app detail page here and read more about the launch here.

🤝 Whalesync Partner Program

We opened up a partner program for the amazing agencies using Whalesync to make their clients' lives easier! This includes launching our experts page where you can easily find agencies/freelancers in the program :).

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Clean up sync logs copy when no fields have changed
  • Lift the two-page limit on sync logs
  • Ensure records with reference fields can still be deleted from Webflow
  • Fix low-fidelity of base sharing link instructions
  • Show an error if Webflow is missing a single select field
  • Fix the issue where clicking outside the auth dialog gets you stuck
  • Fix resubscribe flow
  • Explain why "add a field" is disabled in the UI if disabled
  • Fix situation where clicking back in setup flow gets you stuck
  • If you switch from a 1-way to 2-way field for read-only, error message should be clear


➡️ What’s Next

A Supabase connector is up next. After that Webflow E-Commerce is coming :).

Password protected Airtable links

📝 TL;DR

You can now use Whalesync with Airtable bases that have a password protected base sharing link.

🔐 Password Protected Airtable Links

! Note - this is a completely optional feature !

On Airtable paid plans, they let you add a password to your Airtable base sharing link. Previously this would block Whalesync from connecting to your base.

Now you can use password protected base sharing links by adding that password to Airtable. If you don't have a password on your Airtable base sharing link you can ignore the option and authorize as normal.

Webflow Unpublish + Sync Logs 2.0 (36)

📝 TL;DR

When you delete items from Webflow, they will now disappear from your live site without a republish! Sync logs just got much better, our Bubble connector is available in beta, and lots of bug fixes.


✏️ Webflow unpublish on delete

When you sync a delete to Webflow, it will now automatically remove the item from your live site without needing to republish your entire site.

Whalesync syncs all updates as quickly as possible, but previously, Webflow would not remove deletes from their live site. With Webflow's new "unpublish" feature, we were able to change that. Now when you delete a record from Airtable, it will remove it from your live Webflow site without requiring a republish.


🪵 More descriptive Sync Logs

The Logs page in Whalesync gives visibility into the updates Whalesync makes. Previously it would tell you which record changed and what happened (e.g. update, create, delete). 

Now sync logs will tell you exactly what changed! Under the "Impacted Record Edits" section, you'll see which fields were updated, what their old value was, and what their new value is after the sync.


💭 Bubble beta

Our Bubble connector is officially in beta! If you're interested in early access, let us know! Bubble is a pillar of the no-code community, so we're incredibly excited to support it.

We expect to have this live to everyone (in GA) very shortly.


🏷️ Table Tag in Mapping UI

With Airtable, we offer the ability to sync specific views. In our mapping UI, it used to be unclear how to map the entire table. We made that clearer with a table tag. 


🏫 Postgres x Airtable tutorial

Check out our latest step-by-step tutorial on how to sync Airtable and Postgres


🐞 Bug Fixes

- Upgraded the resolution of the Whalesync logo in our app

- Added paragraph tags to the Airtable rich text to HTML converter

- Fixed the way we delete records from Postgres to scale better

- Fixed support for app.whalesync.com on Safari

- Improved error messaging when a user deletes a field or table in one of their apps

- Added support for more types of Postgres databases

- Fix for Airtable's API update to their base sharing link data format

- If a single select option doesn't exist in Webflow, throw an error


➡️ What’s Next

More bug fixes, Bubble live in GA, and a Supabase connector :)
