§ Overview
What connecting Sentra CMS does.
The pre-built connector creates and reads pages and alerts and reads documents. Signed webhooks for published pages, alerts, documents, form submissions and deploys can start flows. Content moves straight through, and SentraBridge doesn't keep a copy.
- Pages: Read changed pages; create pages with title, address, type, department and content.
- Alerts: Read and create alerts: headline, message, level, start and end.
- Documents: Read document titles, links and update times.
- Webhooks: Page, alert, document, form, menu and deploy events, HMAC-signed.
