Before you begin
- A CXF account that can create Content Templates (a super admin or Master)
What you’ll build
A blog whose posts are authored, classified, reviewed, scheduled, and published — and an editorial Journey Manager App where your content team runs it (a board of posts by stage, an editorial calendar, and one-click authoring). This guide stays high level; follow the links for the full detail of each object.Steps
Model the post type
Create a Content Template of type
stories, with
the Attributes a post needs (body, cover image, excerpt, …).Write a post
Add a Content Instance and author it across its
Content Versions — one per language × environment ×
status (
draft / published). Pull images from the DAM.Organize posts
Classify posts into categories with Taxonomies and label them
with Tags.
Route review
Move drafts through your editorial steps with
Content Workflows.
Schedule & publish
Go live (and retire) automatically with
Publishing Windows, or publish a version directly.
Build the editorial dashboard
Assemble a Journey Manager App for the
content team: a Section over your posts
with a kanban grouped by
Content Workflow step, a
calendar of publishing dates, a data
table, a Single Record page to author, and a
New Record form to start a post — so editors work entirely from here.
Expose & verify
Serve posts to your front end through the
endpoints you expose on the
Contact API, and confirm each post’s
version shows as
published in the target language
and environment.Troubleshooting
A published post isn't showing
A published post isn't showing
Check the Content Version is
published in the
language and environment you’re reading, and that any
Publishing Window is currently open.
