Preparation - CMS Integration

Here we describe the initial setup and configuration for your CMS integrations.

Project Setup

We advise setting up a distinct Codyt project for each Content Management System (CMS) you wish to integrate. However, if your specific scenario warrants it, linking multiple systems to a single project is also feasible.

Key project configurations include:

Document Formats

Specify the format of the data transferred from your CMS to the project. Is the data formatted as JSON, XML, STRINGS, or another supported format? We suggest the following approach:

  • Create filters for the content files. This is done in the “Settings” area of Wordbee Translator. Experiment with your test files in this environment until you are certain of their effectiveness.

  • Create a “Document Format Profile”, that consolidates all the filters employed for integrating with the CMS.

  • Go to the project settings and assign the document format profile.

    • This step ensures that your content is always processed appropriately when pushed into the project.

API Key

To authenticate with the API, you need a user and its API key:

  • Create a dedicated “API” user. We strongly recommend against using your own administrator or personal Wordbee Translator account. The user must be internal and should be assigned a Project Manager profile. See

  • Enable API 2 access for that user: Login as Admin, go to “Settings” then “API 2” and add user to the list.

  • Find the user’s API key: Login as the user, click “My Account” then “API”. The API key is displayed.
