Webflow connection issues

Common reasons a Webflow connection breaks, and how the token setup avoids them.

July 11, 2026

Webflow is HarperFlow's most complete integration, and most connection problems trace back to the site API token it runs on.

Common causes

  • The token was regenerated or revoked. Generating a new token in Webflow's Site settings, or revoking the old one, invalidates whatever HarperFlow was using. HarperFlow only ever holds the one token you gave it. It has no way to know a new one exists until you paste it in.
  • The token's permissions were narrowed. If the token no longer has read/write access to Sites, CMS, Assets, Pages, Custom code, and Components, calls that need those permissions start failing even though the token itself is still technically valid.
  • The site moved workspaces, or was deleted. A token is scoped to whatever it could see at the time it was generated; moving the site to a different Webflow Workspace or deleting it removes what HarperFlow was authorized to reach.

Any of these show up the same way: a reconnect banner on your dashboard, and publishing paused until it's fixed. See Reconnecting and token health for what that banner means and the 14-day timeline behind it.

"This token cannot see any sites"

This specific message means the token you pasted is scoped to your whole Webflow Workspace rather than to one site. Generate a fresh token scoped to the individual site instead. See Connect your Webflow site for exactly which permissions to turn on.

Fixing it

Reconnecting is almost always faster than trying to repair the old token: generate a brand-new one with the same permissions as the original setup, and paste it into the reconnect flow on your Your Site page.

Tip: If you're not sure whether a token still works, generating a fresh one and reconnecting is the fastest way to rule it out. There's no need to diagnose the old one first.
