Paperboy for Webflow
Paperboy has no Webflow connector, so it runs your blog on a subdomain you point at it with one DNS record. The first article is free.
Hosted blogHosted blog on a subdomain, or a webhook you connect
Short answer as of October 29, 2026
Not directly: as of October 29, 2026, Paperboy has no Webflow connector, so it publishes to a hosted blog on a subdomain of your domain, such as blog.yourdomain.com, next to your Webflow site. If you want the posts inside the Webflow CMS, you route Paperboy's webhook to Webflow's API yourself.
Set up
How it connects: Hosted blog on a subdomain, or a webhook you connect.
Paste your site address into Paperboy and get the first article free. You read it before you pick a plan.
In the site's Publishing settings, choose "We host your blog" and type the address you want, such as blog.yourdomain.com.
Add the CNAME record Paperboy shows you at wherever your domain's DNS is managed: your registrar, Cloudflare or, if Webflow hosts your DNS, the DNS settings for that domain in Webflow. On Cloudflare, set the record to DNS only.
Press "Check my DNS record". When it passes, the blog is live on your address, with a sitemap and an RSS feed. Until then it sits at a Paperboy address.
In Webflow, add a Blog link to your navigation that points at the new address. Webflow does not know the subdomain exists until you do.
Type CNAME
Name blog (for blog.yourdomain.com)
Value the target Paperboy shows you
Then press "Check my DNS record" in Paperboy.Paperboy shows the exact values in your dashboard. Nothing here is a real key.
What you get
What lands on your site, every time an article passes its fact check.
The article body as HTML: an H2 and H3 outline, tables or numbered steps where they make the answer easier to scan, and inline links to the sources it cites.
Server-rendered pages on your own subdomain, with a canonical address, a sitemap.xml and an rss.xml at the blog's root.
Your brand color and logo, read from your site when Paperboy scanned it. Article pages carry a link back to your main site.
A short FAQ of three to six questions, written into the page, plus Article and FAQPage JSON-LD.
Two to four links to your own pages (picked from the pages Paperboy read on your site) and one call to action link to the address you chose.
No images inside the article body today. The hosted blog adds a 1200 by 630 share image for each article; other methods do not.
Nothing is written into your Webflow site or CMS. The two sites share a domain name, not a theme or a database.
Honest limits
What Paperboy does not do here, so there are no surprises after you sign up.
The posts live on a subdomain, not at yourdomain.com/blog inside Webflow. Search engines treat a subdomain as its own address, so do not expect it to behave like a folder.
The blog uses Paperboy's layout with your brand color and logo. It does not copy your Webflow design.
To land articles in a Webflow CMS collection you need a relay you build or host: something that receives Paperboy's signed webhook, checks the signature, and calls the Webflow Data API to create an item. Paperboy does not ship that relay.
Webflow documents two ways to write an item: create a staged item, which needs a separate publish call, and create a live item, which is published immediately. Your relay picks one and maps Paperboy's fields onto your collection's fields.
Webflow's CMS guide says that when you create collection items you use the staged or live endpoints to manage the item's publishing state, and that a collection must be published to the site before its items can be referenced (read October 29, 2026). So the collection has to exist and be published before your relay writes into it.

FAQ
No. It has no Webflow connector. It runs a hosted blog on your subdomain, or sends each article to a webhook you point at your own relay.
Only through a relay you set up. Webflow documents an API to create collection items, and Paperboy's webhook carries the title, slug, HTML and meta fields your relay would map into them.
Partly. It uses your logo and brand color and its own layout. It does not copy your Webflow styles.
Add the CNAME for the blog subdomain wherever your domain's DNS records are edited. That can be Webflow's DNS settings, your registrar or Cloudflare.
Yes. Write the first article free. It sits at a Paperboy address until your subdomain is live.
