Connect Backdrop CMS to Sorank

Want to publish SEO articles to your Backdrop CMS site automatically? Sorank writes optimized posts and pushes them to Backdrop through a webhook and an automation tool such as Make.com or n8n, so your blog grows on autopilot.

How the Backdrop CMS connection works

Sorank has no native Backdrop connector, and that is intentional. Backdrop, a fork of Drupal, exposes content creation through a contributed Simple API module rather than a single built-in endpoint. Instead of maintaining a plugin, Sorank sends each finished article to your automation tool, Make.com or the open-source n8n, which calls Backdrop to create the node.

• Sorank generates the article: title, body, images, internal links, FAQ.
• A webhook fires as soon as the article is ready.
• Make.com or n8n sends it to your Backdrop API endpoint to create the node.

Note: the exact endpoint depends on your configuration and the Simple API module you install, so confirm it before going live, or fall back to a self-hosted blog.

Step 1: Open the Integrations page in Sorank

Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner, choose Settings, then open the Integrations tab and copy your webhook URL.

Step 2: Build the scenario in Make.com or n8n

1. In Make.com or n8n, create a scenario that starts with a Webhook trigger and paste the Sorank URL.
2. Add an HTTP request module. Backdrop has no dedicated app, so use the generic HTTP module both tools provide.
3. Target your Backdrop API endpoint with the authentication it requires and the header Content-Type: application/json.
4. Map the Sorank fields to your Backdrop node fields and switch the scenario on.

Step 3: Publish an article

Open any article in Sorank, click Publish and confirm. The webhook fires, your scenario creates the node, and the post appears in your Backdrop blog with its images, links and FAQ.

Prefer zero setup?

If you would rather skip the automation step, Sorank can host your blog on your own subdomain, with no code. Your articles publish in one click and the SEO value stays on your domain.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sorank have a native Backdrop CMS integration? Not yet. Backdrop connects through Make.com or n8n and the Simple API module, fully automated once set up. A native connector is on the roadmap.

Can I use n8n instead of Make.com? Yes. Any tool that catches a webhook and sends an HTTP request works, including n8n, Make.com or Zapier.

Do images and internal links come through? Yes. Sorank sends the full article body, so images, internal links, tables and the FAQ are created with the post.
