Connect Your CMS

Knowatoa can publish articles directly to your website’s CMS. Once connected, approved articles are automatically sent to your CMS as posts.

Supported platforms

• WordPress – publishes via the WordPress REST API
• GitHub – commits markdown files to a repository (works with Hugo, Jekyll, Astro, and other static site generators)
• Payload – publishes via the Payload CMS API

Connecting your CMS

1. Go to the site you want to connect.
2. Click Integrations in the left sidebar.
3. Click CMS Connections.
4. Click New Connection and choose your platform.
5. Fill in the credentials for your platform (see the platform-specific guides above).
6. Click Verify Credentials to test the connection before saving.
7. Click Save.

How publishing works

1. When an article is approved in Knowatoa, it gets queued for publishing to all active CMS connections on that site.
2. Knowatoa sends the article content to your CMS via its API.
3. The publication status is tracked – you can see whether each article was successfully published, is pending, or failed.
4. Published articles show the external URL where the content was posted.

Managing connections

From the CMS Connections page you can:

• Verify Connection – test that your credentials still work and see recent publications
• Edit – update credentials or configuration
• Activate/Deactivate – temporarily pause publishing without deleting the connection
• Delete – permanently remove the connection
