Apps

Apps in NewsTeam act as connectors. They define and manage which platforms, products, or third-party systems can communicate with your organization and access its content.

Each app has its own details, permissions, and API credentials, giving you full visibility and control over how your content flows across platforms.

Why Apps matter

Section titled “Why Apps matter”

  • Connect your Sites Link your Sites and other presentation layers back to your organization so they always receive curated, permissioned content.

  • Control access Grant granular permissions. For example, one app may fetch articles from a specific Feed while another can read across the entire organization.

  • Audit and transparency Track which platforms are engaging with your content and how. Maintain oversight of where your journalism is consumed.

  • Third-party integrations Provide trusted partners, advertisers, or external systems with curated access without compromising internal workflows.

Typical examples

Section titled “Typical examples”
  • A website or native app connected via its own NewsTeam app that pulls content dynamically.
  • A partner portal with controlled access to a syndication Feed.
  • A third-party service such as analytics, advertising, or distribution integrated securely.

Getting started

Section titled “Getting started”
  1. Create an app in your organization’s Apps area.
