Kordiam and Glide Publishing Platform have introduced an integration that connects newsroom planning with production. By linking Kordiam’s content planning environment to the Glide headless CMS, the integration provides practical infrastructure for managing complex workflows across platforms and timelines. It helps newsroom teams create a more consistent and trackable editorial process without disrupting established ways of working.

Supporting Operational Clarity

Newsroom teams often face challenges due to disjointed systems and unclear handoffs. When planning and production live in separate tools, the result is often duplicated effort, inconsistent timelines, and reduced visibility.

This integration addresses that gap by enabling teams to initiate stories in Kordiam and transfer key planning data directly into Glide CMS. The process supports better coordination without requiring changes to established workflows.

Initial Capabilities

The integration currently operates in one direction, from Kordiam to Glide CMS. When a user saves a new entry in Kordiam, a corresponding draft is created in the CMS. The following fields are passed through:

• Title becomes the headline

• Description maps to Glide CMS’s standfirst

• Status is set as “draft”

• Publication Date is applied

• Platform is labeled as “Glide CMS”

• Categories will be mapped to the Glide CMS taxonomy in future updates

Next Development Stage

Kordiam and Glide are working with shared customers to build out the next phase of the integration. In progress:

• Syncing updates from the Glide CMS back to Kordiam

• Embedding Kordiam’s interface into the Glide CMS user workspace

• Enhancing support for custom workflows, status values, and taxonomy structures

These updates will provide additional flexibility and improve transparency across the whole newsroom.

“Newsroom teams need a connected ecosystem where planning and publishing go hand in hand” said Rich Fairbairn, Chief Product Officer at Glide. “This partnership with Kordiam answers that need by directly connecting editorial strategy with agile content workflows.”

“Coordinating stories across multiple platforms can pull teams in different directions,” said Robert Dönges, Partner and Integration Manager at Kordiam “By connecting Kordiam with the Glide CMS, we’re helping newsroom teams cut out duplicate work and keep every part of the process on track.”
