Headless CMS integration

Publish AI-written articles into Payload CMS

AutoInk publishes articles into a Payload CMS collection through the REST API — writing the title, body, slug, and draft status, with optional locale support, into the collection you name (default posts).

What AutoInk publishes to Payload

  • Title, body (HTML or Markdown), and slug
  • Draft status (_status) — draft or published
  • Optional locale for multi-language collections

How to connect Payload

  1. 01
    Create an API key

    Enable API keys on your Payload auth collection (usually users) and generate one for AutoInk.

  2. 02
    Add Payload to the project

    Enter your Payload URL, the API key, and the target collection (default posts).

  3. 03
    Set status + locale

    Choose draft or published, and set a locale if your collection is localized.

Targets the Payload REST API (/api/{collection}). The auth collection defaults to users and is configurable.

One pipeline, not just publishing

Publishing is the last step. AutoInk also discovers keywords, drafts the article, and tracks daily whether AI engines cite it — so a post on Payload is measured, not just shipped. See pricing or browse every integration.
