How to integrate Octopus.do with Webflow

Planning site architecture before building in Webflow prevents costly revisions during development. Teams that map information architecture and get stakeholder approval on structure before designing pages spend less time rebuilding navigation and reorganizing content after launch.

Connect Octopus.do to Webflow through the official integration for transferring sitemap structures into projects. Export sitemaps as reference documentation when building pages manually in Webflow. Use FlowFav as a third-party connector to convert sitemaps into Webflow projects.

Use the Octopus.do app with Webflow

The Octopus.do to Webflow integration transfers visual sitemaps from Octopus.do into Webflow projects. The integration is currently in beta.

The integration transfers page hierarchy and content structure from your sitemap to Webflow. Pages appear in your project with predefined templates. You'll need to handle all design customization, styling, interactions, and CMS configuration manually in Webflow after the transfer.

After transferring your sitemap, customize design and interactions in Webflow. The transferred structure provides a starting point but requires complete styling work.

Export and import workflows

Octopus.do's features documentation lists multiple export formats for sitemaps. Export your sitemap to use as reference documentation when creating pages manually in Webflow. Reference the exported sitemap to maintain your planned hierarchy and content structure as you build.

Exported sitemaps support multiple uses for planning and handoff:

• PDF exports: Present site structure to clients and get stakeholder sign-off before development starts
• CSV exports: Create page inventory spreadsheets and plan content requirements across the site

These formats work as reference documentation during the Webflow build phase.

Automate with FlowFav

The FlowFav visual sitemap connector is a third-party integration tool that converts Octopus.do sitemaps into Webflow projects. FlowFav's documentation claims the tool automates sitemap conversion and reduces manual setup work.

After using FlowFav to transfer sitemap structures, complete all design and development work in Webflow. This includes styling pages, adding interactions, configuring CMS collections, and setting up dynamic content.

Note: FlowFav is an independent third-party tool not affiliated with Octopus.do or Webflow. The capabilities described above come from FlowFav's documentation and have not been independently verified. Test the tool with your workflow requirements before using it in production.

What you can build

Integrating Octopus.do with Webflow lets agencies plan site architecture before development work begins. Teams create visual sitemaps for client approval and then build approved structures in Webflow with fewer revision cycles during development.

• Agency client sites: Create visual sitemaps for client review and approval, then build the approved structure in Webflow to reduce back-and-forth revisions during development
• Multi-page marketing sites: Plan complex site hierarchies with landing pages, product sections, and resource centers in Octopus.do, then build the approved structure in Webflow with consistent navigation and information architecture
• Content-heavy websites: Map content relationships for documentation sites, knowledge bases, or editorial platforms in Octopus.do before creating Webflow CMS collections and page templates
• Redesign projects: Document existing site structures in Octopus.do to identify navigation problems and content gaps, then rebuild improved architectures in Webflow with better user flows
