Framer Deploy Integration

Prerequisites

A deployment owner, scoped integration credential, approved destination/domain policy, staging canary, and rollback operator.

Error Handling

Stop deployment on publishing, domain, access, integration, or privacy failures; restore the previous configuration and keep evidence redacted.

Examples

Deploy a fictional staging site, simulate a failed health/publish check, and verify production is unchanged after rollback.

Overview

Deploy Framer Server API integrations (CMS sync services, webhook handlers) to cloud platforms. Framer sites themselves are hosted by Framer — this covers deploying your backend services that interact with Framer.

Instructions

Step 1: Vercel Serverless (CMS Sync API)

// api/sync-framer.ts — Vercel serverless function
import type { VercelRequest, VercelResponse } from '@vercel/node';
import { framer } from 'framer-api';

export default async function handler(req: VercelRequest, res: VercelResponse) {
  if (req.method !== 'POST') return res.status(405).end();

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

  const { items, collectionName } = req.body;
  const collections = await client.getCollections();
  const col = collections.find(c => c.name === collectionName);
  if (!col) return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Collection not found' });

  await col.setItems(items);
  await client.publish();
  res.json({ synced: items.length, published: true });
}

vercel env add FRAMER_API_KEY production
vercel env add FRAMER_SITE_ID production
vercel --prod

Step 2: Fly.io (Long-Running Sync Service)

fly secrets set FRAMER_API_KEY=framer_sk_...
fly secrets set FRAMER_SITE_ID=abc123
fly deploy

Step 3: Webhook Receiver for Content Updates

// api/webhook-handler.ts — receive webhooks from your CMS, sync to Framer
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const { event, data } = req.body;
  if (event === 'content.published') {
    const client = await framer.connect({ apiKey: process.env.FRAMER_API_KEY!, siteId: process.env.FRAMER_SITE_ID! });
    // Sync updated content to Framer CMS
    const col = (await client.getCollections()).find(c => c.name === 'Blog Posts');
    if (col) await col.setItems([{ fieldData: data }]);
    await client.publish();
  }
  res.json({ ok: true });
}

Output

Serverless CMS sync endpoint
Webhook handler for content update automation
Platform secrets configured
