Security & Privacy

Permissions Requested

Asky requests:

  • Read site list
  • Read CMS collections
  • Write to CMS collections

We do not access:

  • Site code or design
  • Assets beyond what we publish

Data Flow

  • Content flows one direction: Asky → Webflow

Best Practices

  1. Test with draft: Publish as draft first to verify formatting
  2. Use appropriate collection: Match content type to collection
  3. Review in Webflow: Check published items before making live
  4. Map custom fields: Utilize Webflow’s custom fields for rich content
  5. Regular checks: Verify connection status periodically
