Overview
Automating Actor Import with FeedMe
In this video, I demonstrate how to automate the import of a list of actors or cast members from Webflow using FeedMe, a plugin that imports CSV files.
The process involves exporting the data from Webflow, renaming the CSV file, uploading it to a server via Transmit, and then using FeedMe to map and import the data into our system. By following this guide, you'll be able to streamline the process of importing cast members from Webflow using FeedMe. After exporting the data and preparing the CSV file, you'll upload it to the server and configure FeedMe to read and map the data accurately. The key steps include setting up the feed, configuring mapping for content fields like avatar and biography, and running the feed to see the entries imported and mapped correctly. This method ensures that the data is consistently and efficiently integrated into your system.
