Salesforce launches hybrid Content Management System built to integrate with other platforms

Users will be able to distribute content created on the CMS to third-party sites, experiences, or mobile apps via Salesforce's headless APIs.

Salesforce launched a new content management platform on Thursday, the Salesforce Content Management System. By entering the CMS space, Salesforce aims to give content marketing teams a tool anyone can use — “from novices to experts” reads the announcement — and capable of creating personalized content powered by Salesforce CRM data.

Salesforce calls it a “hybrid” CMS, meaning users can create, manage and deliver content on the platform, and then distribute to other digital platforms not powered by Salesforce by using the company’s Experience Builder or Commerce Page designer tools.

“If you want to deliver content onto a third-party site, experience, or mobile app, you can use our headless APIs to deliver content smoothly,” writes Salesforce Community Cloud and SVP Adi Kuruganti.

Why we should care

Marketing teams already plugged into Salesforce’s CRM will now be able to create more personalized content at scale via the company’s new content management system. And, if the CMS is as user-friendly as it is being billed to be — and actually does integrate with other platforms — teams won’t be limited based on their design resources, nor will the content be restricted to the Salesforce ecosystem.

Andy Jones, a creator for NOW TV, who had early access to the CMS, said the advantages of connecting Salesforce’s CRM and CMS were immediately clear. Jones also said the platform allowed content creators to go from exposure to mastery quickly, with no need to rely on IT or design resources.

More on the news

  • The Salesforce Content Management System includes multi-language and translation support to localize content.
  • Marketing teams and creators can build “content collections” on the platform — playlists of content that can be distributed to external digital platforms.
  • Salesforce recently announced it had promoted Adam Blitzer as the new CEO of Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Blitzer has been with Salesforce since 2013 when it purchased his company Pardot.
