Introduction to the Sitecore integration

Integrate Content Workflow with Sitecore. Using the integration you can:

  • Migrate content from Content Workflow into Sitecore

  • Update migrated content in Sitecore

How does the integration work?

Content Workflow's Sitecore integration allows content editors to import and update content from Content Workflow to Sitecore. Editors are able to specify mappings, defining which templates and fields should be mapped and then imported using Template Mappings. The integration also provides a backward connection, allowing content editors to update the Content Workflow workflow status for all items that are successfully imported.

The integration was produced and is maintained by Brimit, in partnership with Content Workflow.

Versions Supported

The module supports Sitecore 8.1, 8.2 9.0 and 10
