DatoCMS is a cloud-based headless CMS designed to work with websites, mobile apps, and server-side applications of any kind. Freelancers, agencies, and startups use DatoCMS to empower non-technical clients and team members to manage the content of their digital products within a web-based CMS.

With the DatoCMS connector, you can manage content within the DatoCMS platform while managing personalization logic on Dynamic Yield. When you create server-side campaigns in Experience OS, you just select the content that you previously created in your DatoCMS CMS.

    1. In the Experience OS store, go to DatoCMS and click Learn More.
    2. On the DatoCMS page, click Install.

      The Web Personalization Extensions tab appears.

    3. Click the status button and select Activate.

  2. Configure the connector:
    •  Environment: Your DatoCMS environment name. This can be. your primary environment of a sandbox.

Create variations with DatoCMS entries

To use this variable in your variation or template:

  1. In the JSON tab, create a variable, and then change its type to DatoCMS Entry ID.
