framer-ci-integration
This guide details how to configure Framer's Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using GitHub Actions. It covers automated testing for Framer plugins (using Vite/vitest), building, and synchronizing content from a CMS to the Framer site. Use this when setting up robust, automated deployment workflows for Framer projects, ensuring content and code changes are reliably published.

Framer CI Integration

Overview

Set up CI/CD for Framer plugins and Server API integrations. Plugin builds are tested with Vite + vitest. Server API CMS sync can be triggered from CI for automated content publishing.

Instructions

Step 1: GitHub Actions for Plugin Build

name: Framer Plugin CI
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with: { node-version: '20', cache: 'npm' }
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run build
      - run: npm test

  cms-sync:
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      FRAMER_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.FRAMER_API_KEY }}
      FRAMER_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.FRAMER_SITE_ID }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with: { node-version: '20', cache: 'npm' }
      - run: npm ci
      - name: Sync CMS and publish
        run: node scripts/sync-and-publish.js

Step 2: CMS Sync Script for CI

// scripts/sync-and-publish.ts
import { framer } from 'framer-api';

async function main() {
  const client = await framer.connect({
    apiKey: process.env.FRAMER_API_KEY!,
    siteId: process.env.FRAMER_SITE_ID!,
  });

  // Fetch content from your CMS/API
  const posts = await fetch('https://your-api.com/posts').then(r => r.json());

  // Sync to Framer CMS
  const collections = await client.getCollections();
  const blogCollection = collections.find(c => c.name === 'Blog Posts');
  if (blogCollection) {
    await blogCollection.setItems(posts.map(p => ({ fieldData: { title: p.title, body: p.content, slug: p.slug } })));
    console.log(`Synced ${posts.length} posts`);
  }

  // Publish site
  await client.publish();
  console.log('Site published');
}

main().catch(e => { console.error(e); process.exit(1); });

Step 3: Configure Secrets

gh secret set FRAMER_API_KEY --body "framer_sk_..."
gh secret set FRAMER_SITE_ID --body "abc123"

Output

  • Plugin builds verified on every PR
  • Automated CMS sync and publish on main push
  • Secrets configured in GitHub
