About the Project
- Technology Stack: Built as a WordPress plugin with seamless integration of Yext webhook handling and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), providing a robust and flexible content synchronization framework.
- Operations Management: Automatically listens for incoming webhook events from Yext and synchronizes content directly into corresponding ACF fields without manual intervention.
- Relationship Management: Enables precise data control and customization through:
- Mapping Yext webhook data to specific ACF fields
- Manual overrides that allow local edits to take priority over synced data
- Individual shortcodes for displaying synced fields on the frontend
- Business Data Management: Handles structured external data efficiently by:
- Parsing and storing webhook payloads into WordPress custom fields
- Preserving field-level accuracy and synchronization logs
- Maintaining override metadata to prevent unintentional overwrites
- Admin Panel: Includes a lightweight settings page to:
- Define ACF field mappings to Yext data keys
- Toggle sync behavior and enable/disable overrides
- Access shortcode documentation and usage guidance
- Frontend Integration: Provides a collection of ready-to-use shortcodes for each ACF field, enabling flexible and customizable display of Yext data on any WordPress page or post.
- Manual Control & Sync Flexibility: While automated syncing ensures real-time accuracy, manual overrides empower site owners to fine-tune or personalize content without losing control over updates.
