Heretto CCMS Integrations Overview

Heretto CCMS provides many integrations with third-party applications.

Authoring Integrations

The Heretto authoring integrations provide additional flexibility for content creation and management. To start using our authoring integrations, you need a relevant third-party license and, in some cases, support from the Heretto team. For details, contact a Heretto representative.

Content Mapper Integration

A solution for those who want all the benefits of Heretto CCMS but are not ready to move away from authoring in Microsoft® Word. Content Mapper is only compatible with Windows operating systems.

Licensed: yes, by a third party. Available for Heretto Enterprise subscription.

HyperSTE Integration

HyperSTE is a content checker that you can enable in Heretto CCMS through a web browser plugin. It helps align your content to shorten your editing process, save on translation costs, get quality and improvement metrics, and more.

Licensed: yes, by a third party. Available for Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

MathML Add-On

MathML enables you to create complex mathematical and scientific equations easily directly in Heretto CCMS. With MathML, there's no need to use graphics that represent equations. Instead, you can simply add and edit them directly in Heretto CCMS.

Licensed: yes, by Heretto. Available for Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

For DITA-OT guidelines, see Equations with MathML.

Authoring in Oxygen

You can connect Heretto CCMS with Oxygen XML Editor and Oxygen XML Author and interact with files hosted in Heretto CCMS through Oxygen without the need to download or upload files.

Note:

Editing files through Oxygen makes it impossible for multiple authors and contributors to collaborate in one file simultaneously, which is possible when you work directly in the Heretto CCMS Content Editor.

Licensed: yes, by a third party. Available for Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

Schematron Integration

Schematron is a rule-based validation language that enables you to set rules you want your authors to follow. Schematron is ideal for enforcing consistent content structures. With Schematron rules in place, Heretto automatically informs authors about any content structures that do not comply with the rules. That happens in real time. Because you can set your own messages for each rule, you can set them so that they work as guidelines for authors.

Apart from integrating Schematron into Heretto CCMS, we also developed a set of rules that you can start with. If you'd like to develop custom Schematron rules, we can recommend our partners.

Licensed: no. Included in Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

Migration Integrations

Heretto provides a built-in option to convert DOCX files into DITA directly in Heretto CCMS. Configuration might be required to enable this option. For details, contact a Heretto representative.

XMLmind Integration

If your content needs to be migrated from Microsoft® Word to DITA, you might consider using Heretto integration with XMLmind. It enables you to convert DOCX content into complete DITA structures directly in Heretto CCMS.

Licensed: no, if used directly in Heretto CCMS. Included in Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

Delivery Integrations

In addition to our native delivery solutions like PDF Generator, Heretto Portal or Heretto Deploy API, we also offer a number of delivery integrations. The delivery integrations expand the number of ways you can provide content to your users, including publishing to external servers.

DITA-OT Integration

DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) is an open source publishing engine that converts DITA content into multiple output formats, for example, PDF, HTML5, or RTF. By default, DITA-OT applies simple vanilla styling to your content. To apply branded styling, you can develop custom DITA-OT plugins on your own or work with one of our partners. If you're looking for a simpler solution for PDF output, we recommend our PDF Generator, which enables you to create beautiful PDF styling with CSS.

Licensed: no. Open source. Included in Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

For DITA-OT guidelines, see DITA Open Toolkit Cloud Publishing.

Webhook Integration

Webhooks are messages that are automatically exchanged between systems that can trigger actions. For example, after content is successfully published, Heretto CCMS can send a webhook message to an external server. The server can then pull the content from the CCMS and perform any number of additional actions, including publishing the content to a web site or knowledgebase. Webhooks provide a valuable method for integrating Heretto CCMS in an enterprise content architecture.

Licensed: not applicable. Available for Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription. Note that additional fees apply for the configuration of webhooks. For details, contact a Heretto representative.

For Webhook guidelines, see Webhooks.

Localization Integrations

By default, Heretto CCMS includes the ability to manually create XLIFF, source, and media packages for localization purposes. Heretto also has an integration with XTM Cloud available. For details, contact a Heretto representative.

XTM Integration

The XTM Integration is a great option for any translation team that is tired of sending and receiving translation packages through email and manually downloading and uploading content. Heretto CCMS and XTM directly exchange files with just a few clicks. From XTM Cloud, you can easily manage all aspects of your localization jobs.

Licensed: yes, by Heretto or a third party. Available for Heretto Enterprise subscription and Team subscription.

For XTM guidelines, see Localization Overview.

AI Integrations

Heretto CCMS supports integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents and automations through the standard REST API.

If you'd like to see some examples of AI implementations, see Heretto Open Projects (HOP) at herettoopenprojects.ai.

Note:

Heretto Open Projects is a listing of open source projects built by Heretto employees and Heretto customers. Everything on the site is provided as is, without warranty, and is not directly supported by Heretto.

REST API Integration

You can connect AI agents and automations to Heretto CCMS using the standard REST API. This is the recommended method for any AI integration, as it provides a stable and supported way to read, create, and manage content programmatically.

Heretto CCMS provides two REST API versions:

CCMS API v1. Available on request. Covers content operations such as working with documents, folders, file locks, branches and releases, search, and webhooks. To access CCMS API v1 documentation, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM).
CCMS API v2. Available to all Heretto customers with no upgrades or configuration required. CCMS API v2 focuses on publishing operations, including deployments, PDF Generator, and DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT). For details, see Heretto CCMS API (v2).

Customers with Heretto Deploy API can also provide agents with direct access to personalized content via the Deploy API. See Deploy API Endpoint Specification at Heretto Deploy API.

Licensed: no. API access is included with your Heretto CCMS subscription.

Important:

Do not connect AI agents to Heretto CCMS via WebDAV. Do not build automations that operate over WebDAV or over network drives set up with WebDAV. Most operating systems implement WebDAV in non-standard ways. This can lead to unpredictable behavior and reliability issues.

Heretto CCMS does not provide general WebDAV support. The only WebDAV support offered is for connecting to Oxygen XML Editor and Oxygen XML Author. For details, see Authoring in Oxygen.
