Drupal - Consonance Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Drupal and Consonance

1. Publish approved title metadata from Consonance to Drupal

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal

When a book title reaches an approved stage in Consonance, key metadata such as title, subtitle, author, ISBN, imprint, format, publication date, language, and category can be pushed into Drupal to create or update public-facing book pages automatically.

• Reduces manual re-entry of title data across marketing and web teams
• Ensures the website reflects the latest approved bibliographic information
• Speeds up launch readiness for new releases and backlist updates

2. Sync cover images and marketing assets from Consonance-linked DAM into Drupal

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal

Consonance can provide title-level references to cover art, author photos, jacket copy, and promotional assets stored in a DAM, allowing Drupal to display the correct approved media on book detail pages, landing pages, and campaign microsites.

• Improves consistency between editorial, production, and marketing materials
• Prevents outdated or unapproved assets from being published
• Supports faster campaign page creation for launches, awards, and seasonal promotions

3. Create Drupal campaign pages from Consonance publication milestones

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal

As titles move through milestone stages in Consonance, Drupal can trigger the creation of campaign pages, preorder pages, or author landing pages based on publication dates, format availability, or imprint rules.

• Aligns website publishing activity with production schedules
• Enables automated page creation for launch campaigns
• Helps marketing teams plan content around confirmed release timing

4. Send website engagement signals back to Consonance for title planning

Data flow: Drupal ? Consonance

Drupal analytics such as page views, downloads, newsletter signups, and preorder clicks can be fed into Consonance to give publishing teams visibility into audience interest by title, author, or imprint.

• Supports acquisition and marketing decisions with real audience data
• Helps prioritize promotional investment for high-interest titles
• Provides a feedback loop between digital engagement and publishing strategy

5. Synchronize rights and availability status to control what appears on the website

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal

Rights, territory restrictions, embargo dates, and format availability managed in Consonance can be synchronized to Drupal so that only eligible titles and editions are shown to the right audience in the right market.

• Reduces compliance risk from publishing restricted content publicly
• Supports region-specific catalog presentation and multilingual sites
• Automatically hides or updates titles when rights expire or formats change

6. Automate author and contributor profile updates

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal

Author names, biographies, contributor roles, and related title associations maintained in Consonance can populate Drupal author pages and contributor directories, keeping public profiles aligned with the current publishing record.

• Eliminates duplicate maintenance of author information
• Improves discoverability across author and title pages
• Ensures consistent attribution across multiple imprints and editions

7. Surface production and publication status for internal editorial portals

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal

For internal Drupal portals used by sales, editorial, or marketing teams, Consonance can provide live status updates such as manuscript received, copyedited, designed, in proof, approved, or published, giving stakeholders a shared view of the pipeline.

• Improves cross-team coordination and reduces status-chasing emails
• Provides a single internal portal for title progress visibility
• Helps teams identify bottlenecks before release dates are impacted

8. Publish structured catalog feeds from Drupal to external channels using Consonance-approved data

Data flow: Consonance ? Drupal ? external channels

Consonance can act as the system of record for title metadata, while Drupal distributes approved content to public website pages and downstream integrations such as retailer feeds, library catalogs, or campaign landing pages.

• Creates a controlled publishing layer for multiple digital channels
• Improves metadata consistency across customer-facing touchpoints
• Supports scalable multi-site publishing for publishers with multiple imprints or regions
