Overview
Importing Entries and Creating Categories in Webflow
In this video lesson, I demonstrate how to import entries and create categories in a Webflow database using the Feed Me plugin in Craft.
We start by creating sections for movies and categories, mapping various fields, and setting up feeds to ensure the data is correctly integrated. In this lesson, I walk you through the process of importing entries and creating categories from a Webflow database. We begin by creating a new section called "movies" and defining the necessary fields such as cast, year, and summary. Next, I guide you through exporting movie genres and game genres from Webflow and uploading the CSV files to the server. Finally, we set up feeds to ensure the movie data is accurately mapped and integrated into Craft.
