Connect Framer to AltoRank

Framer authenticates with a api token, scoped to a site and a collection that you create and can revoke yourself. Connecting it makes Framer an available destination — it does not give AltoRank permission to publish. That still takes a person approving the draft.

What you will need

API token
A Framer Server API key for the project
Site ID
The Framer project the collection lives in
Collection ID
The CMS collection articles are created in

Setup

  1. 1 Create the credential in Framer

    Go to Framer → Site settings → General → Server API. AltoRank never asks for your Framer login: you create a scoped credential there and paste it here, so revoking our access later is one click on your side and does not change how you sign in.

  2. 2 Add the connection in AltoRank

    In your workspace, open Integrations, choose Framer, and fill in api token, site id, collection id. The connection is tested before it saves, so a wrong value fails here rather than silently at publish time.

  3. 3 Approve an article

    Nothing publishes on connection. Open a draft, read the fact-check verdict, and approve it. Only then does AltoRank call Framer. You can also turn on automatic publishing for the workspace, which ships after a hold you can veto; either way there is no agent route around the approval.

What approving does in Framer

On approve
Creates a collection item with draft mode off, so it is live.
On unpublish
Flips the same item back to draft.

Worth knowing

  • Only collections owned and editable by the project work. Collections synced from an external source are managed by that source.

Common questions

Does AltoRank publish to Framer automatically?

Only after a person approves the specific draft. Connecting Framer removes the copy-and-paste step; it does not hand over the decision. The publish path requires an approval recorded under a person, by click or by the rule they set, and the MCP server exposes no publish tool, so this holds even when an AI agent is driving the product.

What Framer credentials does AltoRank need?

API token, Site ID, Collection ID. API token, scoped to a site and a collection. Nothing else, and never your Framer account password.

Can I publish to Framer as a draft instead of live?

Not from AltoRank: the review happens here, before anything is sent, so approving is the act of publishing. On approve, Creates a collection item with draft mode off, so it is live. If you want a staging destination, connect Notion as well and approve there first. Unpublishing is available afterwards: Flips the same item back to draft.

Can I revoke access without breaking my site?

Yes. The credential is created in Framer and revoked there, independently of your login. Revoking it stops AltoRank publishing and changes nothing else. Articles already published stay where they are: they are ordinary content on your platform, not embeds pointed at us.

Can I use Framer on the self-hosted version?

Yes. Self-hosting is the same product under an open-source licence with no feature gates, so every connector works and your credentials never leave your own infrastructure. The adapter is apps/web/lib/cms/framer.ts in the repository.
