Publive can be integrated with various external services to extend your content workflow.

​
Analytics

​

​
CDN Integration

​
Cache Invalidation

CDS responses include Cache-Tags for CDN cache management: 
{
  "Cache-Tags": ["PA.123", "CAT.100", "PP.12345"]
}
Configure your CDN to:
  1. Cache CDS API responses
  2. Use Cache-Tags for targeted purging
  3. Set up webhook listeners (post.published, post.updated) to trigger cache purges

​
Search Integration

​
Algolia / Elasticsearch

Sync Publive content to your search engine:
  1. Initial sync: Paginate through all posts via CMS API
  2. Real-time sync: Listen for post.published and post.updated webhooks
  3. Index fields: title, content_html, short_description, tags, categories
// Example: Sync post to search index on webhook
app.post('/webhook/publive', async (req, res) => {
  const { event, data } = req.body;

  if (event === 'post.published') {
    await searchIndex.saveObject({
      objectID: data.id,
      title: data.title,
      description: data.short_description,
      category: data.primary_category?.name,
      url: data.absolute_url,
    });
  }

  res.sendStatus(200);
});

​
Email / Newsletter

Use the CDS Newsletter Groups API to manage newsletter subscriptions: 
GET /publisher/{id}/newsletter-groups/
Integrate with email services (Mailchimp, SendGrid) by syncing newsletter group data and using post content for email campaigns.

​
Social Media

Posts include built-in social sharing metadata (via CDS):
FieldPlatform
og_title, og_description, og_imageFacebook, LinkedIn
twitter_title, twitter_description, twitter_imageTwitter/X
Use these fields to generate social media sharing links and preview cards.
