Hello everyone, In this blog post we will see how we can override link provider class in Sitecore XM Cloud with a practical usecase. In Sitecore XM Cloud, the default link provider helps generate URLs based on the item's path and configured routing rules. However, in many real-world scenarios, marketers and content authors need more flexibility—like overriding the generated URL with a custom one defined at the content level. This blog walks through a custom link provider use case where a template includes a field such as "Override URL", allowing authors to specify a different link for a given page Let's walk through the scenario. Imagine you have a Search Page in Sitecore that includes an "Override URL" field. Now, create a sample content item—for example, a News Article page under a News folder. Whenever a component on this News Article page tries to generate a link to the main Search Page, we want to intercept this behavior. If the Search Page’s "O...

Hello everyone! In this blog post, we'll explore an essential concept in Sitecore — Sitecore Roles — which remains relevant across all platforms. Recently, I was working on a migration project where we needed to move Sitecore roles from a traditional XP solution to XM Cloud. Naturally, the first solution that came to mind was using Sitecore Serialization, as it's the go-to method for item migration. However, I quickly discovered that this approach doesn’t work as expected — roles cannot be serialized as IAR files. So, what now? After diving into the Sitecore documentation, I found the right approach — and I’m sharing it with you in this blog. Keep reading to find out how to successfully migrate roles to XM Cloud! The solution is that we need to module.json file which defined your roles only. The change will be that this should be deploy to your XM cloud instance as part of post deploy action mentioned in xmcloud.build.json file Step 1: Create a Foundation.Roles.module.jso...

Hello everyone! In this blog, we'll explore how to use the Vercel CLI to deploy local branch changes to a Vercel Preview environment for quick verification and validation. Ideally, we have a proper CI/CD pipeline in place to build and deploy changes to the appropriate Vercel environment. However, there are situations—such as urgent bug fixes—where you might need to quickly validate your changes without waiting for the full pipeline. In such cases, you can use the Vercel CLI to deploy your local changes directly, typically to a Preview environment. Even if something goes wrong, Vercel makes it easy to roll back: you can simply redeploy a previous build from the dashboard and restore the environment within minutes Let's begin by setting up the Vercel CLI on your local machine. At this point, you should have already created a branch from your main or develop branch and pulled the latest commits. You've made your changes and tested them locally — now you're ready to deplo...

Hello everyone, In this blog, we will see a pratical use case of reading RSS feed and creating the respective items in Sitecore XM Cloud. To accomplish the task, we will use Logic App, an API created in Next JS and lastly calling the Authoring API to execute mutation query for Item Creation in Sitecore. Let's divide the process into 2 parts: Logic App : This will mostly focus on fetching the feed from RSS, performing transformation, storing the result in array of json object and pushing the data to next js api endpoint. Next JS API Development : This will take care of calling the authoring api of XM Cloud instance and performing the create item mutation query on the recieved data from Logic App. Logic App Azure Logic App is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows you to automate workflows and integrate applications, data, services, and systems without writing complex code. It enables you to create automated workflows visually through...
