HTML and Markdown field extensions

TLDR

Add "_html" to a text field to sync HTML into a rich text field. Add "_md" to a text field to sync Markdown to a 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, Google Sheets, or Postgres, 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

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

Make sure only the source side has the _html or _md extension on the field or column name. If the destination side has the suffix as well, Whalesync will sync the text form of the raw HTML or Markdown, escaped to display on your website or rich text field.
