Extending SitecoreAI
SitecoreAI is a cloud-native, SaaS content management system designed to help you create and manage digital experiences efficiently. You can build tailored solutions within the platform by defining content models, creating layouts and renderings, and assigning content to renderings through datasources. In addition, Sitecore allows you to extend SitecoreAI by building apps for the Sitecore Marketplace. These activities allow you to leverage SitecoreAI’s headless architecture to deliver engaging, scalable experiences without modifying the core CMS.
Before you start extending SitecoreAI:
-
Follow the the Getting started with SitecoreAI guide.
-
Learn how to interact with content using Sitecore's Content SDK.
-
Define content structures and configure how content is displayed across channels.
Extending SitecoreAI with Sitecore Marketplace apps
You can enhance your SitecoreAI experience by integrating apps from Sitecore Marketplace. These Sitecore-approved applications allow you to add further functionality to your SitecoreAI environment. Whether you need advanced analytics, personalization tools, or integration with third-party services, Sitecore Marketplace offers solutions that seamlessly integrate with SitecoreAI’s API-first, headless architecture.
Built-in extension capabilities
You can also extend your implementation of SitecoreAI by:
-
Using the Sitecore Authoring and Management GraphQL API, a single endpoint and schema that allows you to create custom authoring experiences with personalized dialogs and user interfaces.
-
Using webhooks to receive real-time notifications about events or workflow actions, trigger additional processes, apply business logic, or integrate with a third-party system.
-
Using the Content SDK, which includes APIs and services that fetch SitecoreAI data and uses it to build and deliver pages to site visitors using a JavaScript framework.
-
Using REST APIs to automate and manage SitecoreAI operations such as creating and updating sites, deployments, and publishing workflows.
Marketplace recipes
The following Marketplace recipes help you extend SitecoreAI:
-
Build a deployment dashboard that is directly accessible from SitecoreAI to monitor and create new deployments.
-
Embed content from Content Hub, ensuring that a single, authoritative source of content can serve many different experiences, formats, and audiences.
-
Retrieve data from third-party tools outside of the SitecoreAI toolset.
