Connect Optimizely (Episerver) to Sorank

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

How the Optimizely (Episerver) connection works

Sorank has no native Optimizely connector, and that is intentional: the Optimizely CMS exposes a Content Management REST API that can create pages. Instead of maintaining a plugin, Sorank sends each finished article to your automation tool, Make.com or the open-source n8n, which calls Optimizely to create the post.

• 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 the Optimizely Content Management API endpoint that creates a page.

One honest note: this path is still being validated on our side, so confirm the endpoint and content type against your Optimizely instance before going live. If it proves involved, the self-hosted blog below is a clean fallback.

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. Optimizely has no dedicated app, so use the generic HTTP module both tools provide.
3. Target the Content Management API create-content endpoint with OAuth authentication and the Content-Type: application/json header.
4. Map the Sorank fields to your Optimizely content type fields and switch the scenario on.

Reference: Optimizely, create content using the API.

Step 3: Publish an article

Open any article in Sorank, click Publish and confirm. The webhook fires, your scenario creates the page, and the post appears in your Optimizely 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 Optimizely integration? Not yet. Optimizely connects through Make.com or n8n and its Content Management 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 created with the post.
