OwlMeans

Start with the template

Create a new database with official OwlMeans Channel Template https://owlmeans.notion.site/22b9bc9cf07880289342e84e48f22d53.

It’s better to have it as an example of 100% working site.

Make a copy of it — you may clean up everything from it, or you may just reproduce the same columns \ properties into your content marketing database.

Make sure that your site has at least one entry with Type — Page. And this entry has at least one sub-item with Type — Block. And both Page and Block have Status — Published.

⚠️ Do not forget to set slug to slash “/” for your home page ⚠️

If all this minimal settings aren’t done — the generator will generate nothing.

❗️Pages without Blocks lead to bug in generator work (temporary bug that will be fixed soon).

…or make an existing database site-ready

You need to reproduce the same column structure we have in the example into your database.

If you go forward with updating your content database, it’s a good idea to make a backup before any actions is done (the OwlMeans channel doesn’t touch it, but you may spoil the things while tinkering with it in Notion).

To reproduce the same columns in your database the easy way just copy a row (entry) from our example database into your database.

❗️Be aware if you already have columns with the same name - they may change or not change types which can spoil your data or you will get not working structure.

Columns checklist for your database: ❗️It doesn’t describe or fields and options — it just stress things that may be missed. Please, always refer to the template to full required columns list.
