The headless CMS your agents can write to in plain English

DeveloperDocumentsDatabaseMarketingAutomationStorageProductivity

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS that lets you model, manage, and deliver structured content to any frontend — web, mobile, or edge. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create, update, publish, and delete entries across every collection type without anyone touching the admin UI. Draft a blog post from a Slack thread, sync a product catalogue from a spreadsheet, or take a page live the moment a deal closes — all in plain English, all without a dev deploy.

Eliminates manual work. Agents handle the repetitive CMS work — creating entries from form submissions, syncing spreadsheet updates to content collections, and publishing on schedule — eliminating the manual CMS logins that interrupt writers and ops teams every day.

Content portal, live in 60 seconds

When a customer success team member emails a request for a new help article, the agent fetches the matching knowledge base entry from Strapi, creates a polished draft entry with title and body pre-filled, posts the CMS edit link to Slack so a CSM can review, and books a calendar slot for a 15-minute sign-off — the article goes from inbox to draft-ready before anyone opens the CMS.

2
Enter your Strapi base URL

Paste your Strapi instance URL (e.g. https://cms.yourcompany.com or http://localhost:1337 for local dev). Actionist uses this to reach your specific instance.

FAQs

Questions about Strapi + Actionist

How do I connect Strapi to Actionist?
Open the Apps tab, find Strapi, and click Connect. Paste your Strapi instance URL and an API token with Full Access permissions (Strapi Admin → Settings → API Tokens). Actionist runs a read-only verification call to confirm the handshake. Most teams are connected in under 3 minutes.
What permissions does my Strapi API token need?
Your token needs Full Access for the collection types you want the agent to read and write. If you prefer a scoped token, grant Create, Read, Update, Delete, and Publish permissions on each content type individually in Strapi's Roles & Permissions panel. The agent will only operate on the types your token covers.
Can the agent work across multiple Strapi content types in one workflow?
Yes. Within a single workflow the agent can read from one collection, create in another, and publish a third — all in sequence. Reference each content type by its Strapi API ID (e.g. article, product, event) and the agent will resolve them independently.
What Strapi operations does the agent support?
The agent supports Create, Get, Get Many, Update, Delete, Publish, and Unpublish on collection entries; Get and Update on single types; Upload and Delete for media files; Get, Create, and Update User for admin accounts; and Get Content Type Schema for runtime field introspection. Strapi webhooks cover 8 real-time event triggers including entry created, updated, published, and content type modified.
How do I avoid overwriting content the agent shouldn't touch?
Scope your API token to only the content types and operations the agent needs — a token with Read-only on Article blocks accidental writes. For extra safety, use the Get action first to read the current entry and confirm the ID matches before updating. You can also wrap writes in a conditional step that checks a status field before proceeding.
Does the agent support Strapi's draft and publish workflow?
Yes. The agent can create entries in draft state, then call Publish entry separately once a review condition is met — for example, after a Notion approval or a calendar event fires. Unpublish entry works symmetrically to retract live content without deleting it. Both operations respect Strapi's draft-publish lifecycle.
Can the agent connect to a self-hosted or local Strapi instance?
Yes, as long as your Strapi instance is reachable from Actionist's network. For local development, expose the instance via a tunnel (e.g. ngrok) and use that public URL as the base URL in the connection settings. For production, use your public domain or VPC endpoint.
How do I handle Strapi rate limits and large batch operations?
Strapi's REST API has no built-in rate limiter by default, but your hosting environment may throttle requests. For bulk operations, the agent uses Get Many with pagination (100 entries per page) and introduces a short delay between write batches. If you hit 429 errors from a proxy or CDN, increase the delay in the workflow's loop step settings.
