HTML field extension

Sync HTML from Airtable and Google Sheets into a rich text field

TLDR

Add ".html" to a text field to sync HTML into a Webflow rich text field.

Details

Sometimes you want more control over your rich text and want to directly edit HTML, such as controlling the exact HTML that gets stored in a Webflow rich text field. For that, we built the HTML field extension feature.

If you add ".html" to the end of a long text field in Airtable or Google Sheets, Whalesync will recognize that data as HTML. If you map that field to a rich text field in Webflow, we'll automatically convert your HTML into rich text.

Things to keep in mind

Remember to refresh your fields in Whalesync

You will need to refresh your fields in Whalesync if you want to convert an existing field into an HTML field.

If using Airtable, make sure "enable rich text formatting" is toggled off
