Kordiam and Purple are long-standing integration partners working together to streamline editorial workflows. The integration between our platforms links planning and publishing in a more direct and automated way. It helps content teams reduce manual work, improve visibility and stay aligned as stories move from idea to publication.
Purple Editorial is a headless CMS built for publishers and corporates who need speed, flexibility and control in their publishing operations.
The Cost of Disconnected Tools
When planning and publishing happen in separate systems, teams waste time on manual steps, fix avoidable errors and struggle to keep versions aligned. The more complex the operation, the harder it is to stay coordinated.
The connection between Kordiam and Purple addresses this directly. It reduces friction across teams and gives newsrooms a simpler, more reliable workflow from start to finish.
A Seamless Path from First Draft to Publication
Kordiam and Purple now work as one connected system, so editors no longer need to track progress or updates in two places.
The setup takes just a few minutes. Editors create a sync channel in Kordiam using API credentials from Purple. Once connected, content flows automatically. Here is how that looks in daily newsroom workflows:
- Instant sync: Stories created in Kordiam appear in Purple automatically, ready for production
- Rich metadata: Title, description, status and publication date carry over without extra input
- Bi-directional updates: Any change made in one system is mirrored in the other, keeping both current
- Aligned versions: Everyone works from the same source of truth without switching tools or tracking edits manually
Collaboration Without Added Complexity
The Kordiam and Purple integration makes it easier to manage freelance contributors without adding new steps or access issues.
When editors assign a task in Kordiam, the freelancer receives a secure upload link. They submit their content through that link. It appears in Purple in the correct structure, ready for editing.
There is no need to set up new user accounts or give permissions. Teams stay in control of their publishing system.
Trusted by Newsrooms That Rely on Coordination at Scale
This integration is already used by publishers including OM Medien and Börsen-Zeitung. These teams depend on a direct connection between planning and publishing to keep production moving without manual handoffs or version issues.
“Good tools get out of the way. This integration removes unnecessary steps between planning and publishing so teams can stay focused on content instead of systems. Editors know what’s been planned. Publishers know what’s ready to go. That kind of clarity saves time and reduces friction across the newsroom.”
Robert Dönges, Partner and Integration Manager at Kordiam
