Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about setting up and using Ascend integrations.

Do I need technical knowledge to set up integrations?
No, most integrations are designed to be set up without technical knowledge. WordPress and Webflow connections use simple OAuth or API key flows. Our step-by-step guides walk you through each step with screenshots and clear instructions.
Can I connect multiple websites to one Ascend account?
Yes, you can connect multiple WordPress sites, Webflow projects, and other platforms to a single Ascend account. This is perfect for agencies managing content for multiple clients or businesses with multiple properties.
Is my data secure when connecting external platforms?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard OAuth 2.0 for authentication where available. API keys and tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. We never store your passwords, and you can revoke access at any time from your account settings.
What happens if an integration stops working?
If an integration fails (e.g., expired tokens, API changes), Ascend will notify you immediately. Most issues can be resolved by reconnecting the integration from your settings. Our support team is also available to help troubleshoot any connection problems.
Can I export content without connecting a CMS?
Yes, you can export content in multiple formats without any CMS connection. We support Markdown, HTML, PDF, Google Docs, and Notion exports. You can also copy content directly to your clipboard.
