Integration Overview

Accelerator360™ streamlines and simplifies every step of the content creation and publishing process, and Skyword’s integration options make it easy to transfer content to your channel's website or content management system (CMS) for publishing.

Integration Plan

Since Skyword offers many different ways to integrate with your channel's website or CMS, it's important to work with your Skyword point of contact to streamline the entire process from kick off to publication.

1. Integration kick-off: The process begins with a formal meeting attended by your site administrator, your Skyword representative, and other technical parties. The attendees discuss the integration options and select the best method. Skyword representatives then outline the steps needed to bring the integration to life. You should come prepared to discuss your CMS, the data you expect Accelerator360™ to send, and who will be involved in the integration process.
2. CMS setup and plugin installation: If a Skyword plugin integration method is chosen, your site administrator will be in charge of installing the plugin. Please see detailed information in this guide to learn more about Skyword's plug and play integrations.
3. Transmission of test content: Your Skyword representative creates test data and publishes to your CMS. After a successful send, your site administrator must confirm that all necessary fields transmitted correctly. If additional work is required, Skyword representatives work with you to make changes to the integration and retest as needed. When you have confirmed that Accelerator360™ data is being received correctly, the test data is removed out of the platform.
4. First production publication: Once properly integrated, Accelerator360™ seamlessly sends content straight to your CMS. Your Skyword representative conducts a post-production review to ensure that your channel is taking advantage of all the benefits of publishing directly from Accelerator360™.
5. Support and ongoing troubleshooting: For as long as you remain a Skyword client, you will receive ongoing integration support as needed. Contact your Skyword representative to discuss your needs.
