Integrating CMS in Workflows

AirOps allows you to integrate your CMS directly into your workflows, enabling you to read from and write to your CMS without leaving the AirOps platform. This integration is available alongside the grid-level push and pull features for bulk importing and exporting data from your CMS.

To access CMS integrations within a workflow:

1. Open the workflow builder in the AirOps studio
2. Navigate to the "Integrations" section
3. Select the desired CMS integration (e.g., Webflow, WordPress, Strapi, Contentful, Shopify)

Available CMS Actions

When integrating a CMS into your workflow, you can choose from several actions:

• Create a collection item: Publish a new blog post or article to your CMS
• List collections: Retrieve a list of available collections in your CMS
• List collection items: Pull information about existing content to avoid duplication and maintain consistency

Configuring CMS Integration

To configure your CMS integration in a workflow:

1. Select the desired action (e.g., create a collection item)
2. Choose the site and collection you want to work with
3. Map the JSON keys from your workflow to the appropriate fields in your CMS
4. Set the state of the item (e.g., published or draft)

Once configured, your workflow will automatically push the generated content to your CMS collection upon completion.
