# Third-party Integrations

> Integrate Publive with third-party services

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

## Analytics

### Google Analytics

Track content performance by including analytics scripts in your frontend. Use the CDS API's `absolute_url` field for page path tracking.

### Custom Analytics

Use the CDS response fields to build custom analytics:

| Field              | Analytics Use                     |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| `word_count`       | Content length analysis           |
| `access_type`      | Free vs. paid content performance |
| `primary_category` | Category-level metrics            |
| `contributors`     | Author performance tracking       |
| `type`             | Content format analysis           |

## CDN Integration

### Cache Invalidation

CDS responses include `Cache-Tags` for CDN cache management:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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`

```javascript theme={null}
// 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](/dxp/api-reference/content-delivery/newsletter-groups) API to manage newsletter subscriptions:

```bash theme={null}
GET /publisher/<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):

| Field                                                   | Platform           |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `og_title`, `og_description`, `og_image`                | Facebook, LinkedIn |
| `twitter_title`, `twitter_description`, `twitter_image` | Twitter/X          |

Use these fields to generate social media sharing links and preview cards.
