Connect Storyblok to Blog Automation
Articles become stories in your Storyblok space - with the story’s name, slug and tags, plus text, summary, image and date in the fields of your content type. Drafts and publishing both work.
What you need for Storyblok
- A Storyblok space.
- A content type (a component marked "Content type") with a rich text field. The default "page" type of a new space only has blocks - create e.g. "article".
Step by step: connect Storyblok
- In the Block Library create a new block of type Content type, e.g. "article", with the fields
title(Text),body(Richtext),excerpt(Textarea),image(Asset) anddate(Date/Time). - Open My account → Personal access tokens → Generate new token and copy the token.
- The space ID is under Settings → Space (digits only).
- In Blog Automation: Websites & blogs → Connect website → Storyblok. Enter region, space ID and token, then click Check connection.
- Choose the content type, map the fields, optionally a folder ID, then status and language, and click Save.
Where do I find what in Storyblok?
| Field in Blog Automation | Where to find it in Storyblok |
|---|---|
| Region of the space | The region the space was created in (EU, USA, Canada, Australia, China) - shown in the space settings. |
| Space ID | Settings → Space, digits only. |
| Personal access token | My account → Personal access tokens. |
| Folder ID for new stories (optional) | Open the folder in Storyblok; the number in the address is the ID. Empty = top level. |
What is transferred to Storyblok?
Title → story name, slug → story slug, tags → story tags (already mapped). Article text → a Richtext or Markdown field, summary → Text/Textarea, cover image → an Asset field (uploaded), date → a Date/Time field.
Tips for Storyblok
- Create a "blog" folder and enter its ID - all articles then sit neatly under
/blog/.
Good to know about Storyblok
- The default "page" content type is not suitable because it has no rich text.
- The personal access token works for every space in your account - handle it with care.
