Using the Content Fusion Docs Web Platform Connector

Setting Up a Deliverable

To publish a deliverable using the Content Fusion Docs Web Platform connector:

  1. Go to your project's Deliverables page and create a new deliverable or edit an existing one.
  2. Select the Upload using connector option.
  3. Select Content Fusion Docs Web Platform from the connector drop-down.
  4. When you select the Content Fusion Docs Web Platform connector, you'll see a warning that the output will be publicly accessible. Make sure you are comfortable with this before proceeding.
  5. Save your deliverable settings and start a publishing task as usual.

What Happens During Publishing

  1. The output files are automatically uploaded to the hosting platform.
  2. A deployment is created and made available online.
  3. The deployment URL is generated and can be accessed immediately.
  4. The URL is displayed in the build output logs.

Deployment URL Format

{hosting-domain}/{organizationName}/{projectId}/{branch}/{deliverableId}

You can share this URL with anyone who needs to view your published content.

Managing Deployments

Viewing Deployments

To view all deployments for your Content Fusion Docs Web Platform connector:

  1. Go to your project's Connectors page.
  2. Find the Content Fusion Docs Web Platform connector.
  3. Click the View Deployments button.

The Deployments dialog box displays all successful deployments for your project, including the following information:

  • Deliverable - The name and type of the deliverable (PDF or HTML5).
  • Build Number - The build number for this deployment.
  • Publication - The publication name used for this build.
  • Branch - The branch from which the content was published.
  • Deployment URL - A clickable link to view the published content online.

Opening a Deployment

  1. Open the Deployments dialog box (see above).
  2. Click the Deployment URL link for the deployment you want to view.
  3. The published content will open in a new browser tab.

Deleting Deployments

  1. Open the Deployments dialog box.
  2. Find the deployment you want to delete.
  3. Click the Delete icon (trash can) next to the deployment.
  4. Confirm the deletion in the confirmation dialog box.
Important:
Deleting a deployment removes it from the hosting platform and the URL will no longer be accessible. If there is an active publishing task for the same deliverable, you will see a warning before deletion. Once deleted, the deployment cannot be recovered.

Security Considerations

Content published using the Content Fusion Docs Web Platform connector is publicly accessible on the internet. Anyone with the deployment URL can view your published content.

Before using this connector, ensure the following:

  • The content you are publishing is appropriate for public access.
  • No sensitive or confidential information is included in the published output.
  • You understand that the content will be accessible to anyone with the URL.
