Connect Sitecore (XM Cloud) to Sorank

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

How the Sitecore (XM Cloud) connection works

Sorank has no native Sitecore connector, and that is intentional: XM Cloud exposes an Authoring and Management GraphQL API that can create items. Instead of maintaining a plugin, Sorank sends each finished article to your automation tool, Make.com or the open-source n8n, which calls Sitecore 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 XM Cloud GraphQL mutation that creates an item.

One honest note: this path is still being validated on our side, so confirm the GraphQL mutation and field mapping against your XM Cloud 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. Sitecore has no dedicated app, so use the generic HTTP module both tools provide.
3. Target the XM Cloud Authoring GraphQL endpoint with OAuth authentication and the create-item mutation.
4. Map the Sorank fields to your Sitecore template 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 item, and the post appears in your Sitecore 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 Sitecore integration? Not yet. Sitecore connects through Make.com or n8n and its GraphQL 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.
