How-to guides
Short task-based guides, each with a result you can check.
Import a website
The importer brings an existing site into Spillway from its public pages alone: no database dump, no credentials. It crawls, proposes content types, converts the pages to blocks, extracts the theme and lands everything as drafts with redirects, so the old URLs keep working when you go live.
Import a design system from Figma
Bring the colors (dark mode included), fonts, sizes, spacing, radius and content width of a Figma design system into the site's theme tokens, so every page and block picks them up once you publish.
Set up SAML with Okta
Let staff sign in to the admin with their Okta account over SAML 2.0, with accounts created on first sign-in and roles taken from Okta groups.
Add a department section
Hand a part of the site to a department: its editors manage everything under one path prefix and one menu, and nothing else.
Connect HubSpot to a form
Send every submission of a Spillway form to a HubSpot form, so leads land in the CRM with the page and UTM context, while Spillway keeps its own copy.
Launch a campaign with a workstream
Prepare a landing page, the updates to three existing pages and a new menu entry together, show the whole set to stakeholders on one preview link, and publish everything in one action, now or at a scheduled time.
Translate a page
Add a second language to the site and publish a Spanish version of a page at /es/<path>, with hreflang alternates and a per-language sitemap.
Schedule a post
Write a blog post now and have it go live at a set time, with the checks still applied at that moment, and optionally come down again later.
Build a page with AI
Turn a one-paragraph brief into a draft page built from real blocks, then make it yours. The AI never publishes: it drafts, you review, an editor publishes.
Publish a campaign page
Build a landing page for a campaign in the page builder, run the pre-publish checks, send it through review and publish it at the URL the campaign will use.
Install a kit
A kit installs a site's structure in one step: content types, vocabularies with their terms, collections, forms, menus and starter pages, with optional sample content. Four kits ship with Spillway (higher education, city, intranet portal, nonprofit), plus the docs kit that holds this documentation…
