Integration Patterns

Pattern	When	How
Plugin CMS Sync	User-initiated sync	Plugin UI → managed collection
Server API Sync	Automated/scheduled	Node.js → Server API WebSocket
CI/CD Publish	On content change	GitHub Actions → Server API → publish
Webhook Bridge	External CMS events	Webhook → your API → Server API

Decision Matrix

Need	Solution
Custom UI in editor	Framer Plugin
Headless CMS sync	Server API
Custom interactive elements	Code Components
Modify existing animations	Code Overrides
Automated publishing	Server API + CI/CD
