🗺️ Overview
Content Genius V3 lets you publish content directly from Search Atlas to your website through a growing list of native CMS integrations. If your platform is not on the default list — such as Payload, Emdash, or another headless or custom CMS — the Universal CMS Connector is designed to bridge that gap.
📍 Where to Find the Universal CMS Connector
The Universal CMS Connector is available under Settings → CMS Connectors. If you are having trouble locating it in your account, it is possible that the connector is not yet enabled for your plan or workspace. Our support team can confirm whether it is available to you and guide you to the right place once availability is verified.
If you do not see this option, your account plan or workspace settings may need to be updated. Reach out to our support team for help confirming availability on your account.
⚙️ How the Universal CMS Connector Works
The Universal CMS Connector is intended to allow Search Atlas to connect to CMS platforms that are not natively listed — including headless and custom-built systems. The connector works by letting you provide your CMS's connection credentials so that Search Atlas can push published content to your platform.
The exact requirements vary depending on your platform. Refer to your CMS's own documentation to gather the necessary credentials before beginning setup in Search Atlas. Our support team can help clarify what information may be needed once they have confirmed the connector is available on your account.
🧩 Supported and Unlisted CMS Platforms
Search Atlas natively supports a number of popular CMS platforms. However, any CMS that exposes an API or accepts external content pushes — including headless platforms like Payload CMS and custom-built systems like Emdash — may be connectable using the Universal CMS Connector.
Keep the following in mind when connecting an unlisted platform:
- API access must be enabled on your CMS before you begin setup in Search Atlas.
- You will need to provide your CMS credentials during the connector setup flow inside Search Atlas.
- If your CMS requires specific configuration steps, consult your CMS platform's documentation first.
