Connect Decap CMS to Sorank

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

How the Decap CMS connection works

Sorank has no native Decap CMS connector, and that is intentional: Decap CMS (the successor to Netlify CMS) stores content as Markdown files in your Git repository, so there is no central content API to call directly. Instead of maintaining a plugin, Sorank sends each finished article to your automation tool, Make.com or the open-source n8n, which commits the post to your repository.

• Sorank generates the article: title, body, images, internal links, FAQ.
• A webhook fires as soon as the article is ready.
• Make.com or n8n commits a new Markdown file to your Git provider, which Decap CMS then reads.

This connection is marked as still in testing, and the publishing endpoint is indirect: it depends on your setup, since Decap reads from Git rather than its own API. The article is created through your Git provider's API (for example the GitHub Contents API) or a configured backend extension. If that route does not fit your configuration, fall back to the self-hosted blog option below.

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. Decap CMS has no dedicated app, so use the generic HTTP module both tools provide.
3. Commit a Markdown file to your repository through your Git provider's API, for example PUT /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path} on GitHub, with a personal access token.
4. Format the Sorank fields as Markdown with front matter that matches your Decap collection, then switch the scenario on.

Step 3: Publish an article

Open any article in Sorank, click Publish and confirm. The webhook fires, your scenario commits the file, and the post appears in your Decap CMS site once the build runs, 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 Decap CMS integration? Not yet. Decap CMS connects through Make.com or n8n and your Git provider's API, 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 committed with the post.
