Moving from Nobull to CMS Bridge - do all existing CMS items need to be republished?

CMS Bridge
1

I’m about to decide on a CMS Bridge plan for my client who has a site containing ~500 CMS items. These items are for the most part pretty static, with only 20-30 updates being made at the very most each month, and in many cases it will be even fewer than that.
In order to migrate successfully, will I have to first choose the large plan to accommodate the re-publishing of the 500 items (each with over 31 fields, so consuming 2 credits per item) and then move to a smaller plan, or am I able to choose a smaller plan right away and migrate to CMS Bridge without re-publishing everything which is already live in Webflow, thus using fewer credits?

Thanks in advance for the support!

Hi @alexander.peasey, You will need to opt for a higher plan, then downgrade it (based on your needs). Thanks!

If the data hasn’t changed, then you might be able to migrate without resyncing, although it will require a bit of manual work.

  1. Export the Webflow CMS Collections as a CSV file.
  2. Add all the required fields in Airtable for CMS Bridge.
  3. Import the Webflow CMS into Airtable using Dedupe.

Note that you will also need to create a Single Line Text Field in Webflow CMS to store the Airtable record-id. For this, you would need to do a CSV export from Airtable to Webflow CMS.

Of course, the best (and the least complex) method is to resync using CMS Bridge, which I recommend.

Please let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks a lot for the detailed response, Rohan! Went for the large plan and will downsize once everything’s been successfully republished.

Cheers :slight_smile:
