Connect Your Community to Your External Content Management System

With CMS Connect you can connect HTML, JSON, CSS, and JavaScript to customize your community and keep its branding and other content consistent with your website.
Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

After you do some initial configuration work, CMS Connect makes maintenance a breeze, because your content renders dynamically on your community pages. If you have website content in Adobe Experience Manager, Drupal, SDL, Sitecore, or WordPress, CMS Connect is the smart way to display headers, footers, banners, blogs, articles, and other reused content in your community. You have many configuration options, including language mapping between your CMS and Salesforce, determining the load order of multiple connections, and specifying the CSS scope.

CMS Connect is available in communities that are based on Customer Service, Partner Central, and Lightning Bolt solutions.

CMS Connect supports the following content management systems:

  • Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)
  • Drupal
  • SDL
  • Sitecore
  • WordPress
