By Shaheer Malik · Source: Framer Help: How plugins work, read on 29 October 2026
Quick answer: Framer has its own CMS, and I did not find a Framer help article for Sanity. If your content must stay in Sanity, either check the Framer Marketplace for a current sync plugin, or build the site in code with a framework such as Next.js, where Sanity is a natural fit.
How to connect Sanity to Framer
- Decide where the content should live: Framer's CMS or Sanity
- If Framer: move the content into Framer CMS collections
- If Sanity: build the front end in code and fetch content from Sanity's API
- Either way, map and redirect any URLs that change
Good to know
- Keeping two CMSs in sync adds work; choose one source of truth
- A headless CMS needs a developer for the front end
Framer's CMS or an outside one?
| Where content lives | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Framer's built-in CMS | Marketing sites a team edits visually | Plan limits: Pro held 10 collections and 2,500 items on 29 October 2026, with add-ons for more |
| Synced into Framer by a plugin | Content already managed in another tool | Two places to keep in step, and a third-party plugin to rely on |
| A headless CMS with a coded front end | Content feeding several sites or apps | A developer builds and maintains the front end |

Sanity and Framer questions
Does Framer integrate with Sanity?
Not through a Framer help guide that I found. Use Framer's own CMS, look for a current marketplace plugin, or pair Sanity with a coded front end.
Related integrations
- Contentful and Framer: a marketplace plugin
- Storyblok and Framer: no framer guide; usually a coded site
- Keystatic and Framer: not a framer integration
Every integration is on the integrations page. If you would rather have the site built with this already connected, the Framer website sprint is $1,999 fixed for 14 days.
Want it connected for you?
I design and build Framer sites with analytics, forms and integrations set up, for a fixed $1,999 in 14 days.
