IntegrationsContent management

Drupal + SKYA

Draft unpublished nodes into Drupal through its JSON:API with a dedicated editor account.

SKYA

Overview

Writes a content fix straight back into the system that publishes it, so shipping a change is not an export, an edit and an import.

AI crawler tracking on a Drupal site

Counting AI crawler visits needs the server or CDN logs for the domain, which Drupal does not hand out and no vendor can read from a content API. That is a property of where the site is served, not of the CMS, so put the domain behind Cloudflare and the visits are counted while publishing keeps working here.

Set up Cloudflare

How it works

  1. 1In Drupal, turn on the JSON:API and HTTP Basic Authentication core modules, and under Configuration, Web services, JSON:API allow create, read, update and delete.
  2. 2Create a dedicated user with only the content editor role, and in SKYA choose Drupal under Connect your site: paste the site URL and that user name and password, and name the content type (article by default).
  3. 3Publish to site creates an unpublished node; open Content, review it, and publish.

Where to find what Drupal asks you for

A dedicated editor account
People, Add user. Give it the role that can create the content type and nothing more.
Permission it needs: SKYA stores the sign-in sealed and uses it only to create unpublished content. Rotate it from People whenever you like.

Key benefits

  • Draft unpublished nodes into Drupal through JSON:API, with the body in the text format you choose.
  • Every piece lands as a draft in your own editor, so nothing goes live from SKYA and nothing needs pasting.
  • The draft keeps its title, slug, excerpt and the reason it was written, so review takes a minute, not a rebuild.
