Elfsight Facebook Feed Widget

How to integrate Elfsight Facebook Feed Widget with Webflow

Integrating the Elfsight Facebook Feed Widget with Webflow lets you display live Facebook content without manual updates. This method gives you full control over appearance and content filtering while keeping setup simple through Elfsight's visual editor.

To integrate the Elfight Facebook Feed Widget with Webflow, use Webflow's Custom Code Embed elements. You can also add sitewide custom code if you want the widget to appear across your entire website. If you need more custom functionality, build with the platforms' APIs.

Use custom Code Embed elements

Configure your widget using Elfsight's visual editor, then add it to Webflow with a simple embed code. This approach works for any Webflow plan that supports custom Code Embeds.

What you can do:

• Display multiple content types from Facebook pages and profiles
• Filter posts by type (photos, videos, text posts, albums)
• Customize appearance with layouts, colors, and fonts
• Add engagement features like follow buttons and share options
• Moderate content through the Elfsight dashboard

To set up this integration:

1. Visit the Elfsight Facebook Feed configurator
2. Connect your Facebook page or profile
3. Customize layout, colors, and content settings
4. Copy the generated embed code
5. In your Webflow project, add an Embed element to your page
6. Paste the code and publish your site

The widget automatically updates when you post new content to Facebook, requiring no additional maintenance.

Add custom code to your entire site

Add the Facebook Feed to specific pages or site-wide using Webflow's embed capabilities. Both methods use the same widget code from Elfsight.

Page-specific placement:

• Add to individual pages using Webflow's Embed element
• Position anywhere in your layout with Webflow
• Multiple widgets on different pages with unique configurations

Site-wide integration:

• Add to all pages via Site Settings > Custom Code
• Header or footer placement for consistent positioning
• Global updates when you modify widget settings

Choose page-specific placement for targeted content or site-wide integration for consistent social proof across your entire website.

Build with Webflow and Elfsight API

For advanced implementations, combine Elfsight's Embed SDK with Webflow's APIs to create dynamic, data-driven integrations. This approach enables programmatic widget management and CMS-driven content.

Advanced capabilities:

• Programmatic widget creation using the Elfsight Embed SDK
• Dynamic configuration based Webflow CMS data
• Multiple widget management for agency or multi-client scenarios
• Custom event handling for analytics and tracking

Accepting dynamic widget configuration

Use Webflow's CMS to store widget settings and dynamically configure Elfsight widgets based on page context or user segments.

Implementation approach:

1. Store widget IDs or configuration in Webflow CMS collections
2. Use custom JavaScript to read CMS data
3. Initialize Elfsight widgets with dynamic parameters
4. Handle widget lifecycle events for tracking

// Example: Dynamic widget initialization
elEmbed.addWidget({
  app: "facebook-feed",
  widgetId: "your-dynamic-widget-id"
})

This method requires JavaScript knowledge but enables powerful, context-aware social feeds.

Managing multiple Facebook sources

Create widget catalogs or allow users to select different Facebook feeds using Elfsight's SDK components.

Use cases:

• Multi-location businesses showing location-specific Facebook pages
• Agencies managing multiple client feeds
• Event sites displaying different event-specific feeds

// Edit existing widget
elEmbed.editWidget({widgetId: "your-widget-id"})
 
// Remove widget
elEmbed.removeWidget({widgetId: "your-widget-id"})

The SDK provides full widget lifecycle control for complex implementations.
