A platform for every role to do their best work

Technical teams

  • Content events connect directly into the tools you already run, like Jira, CI/CD, or Slack

  • Programmatic content organization eliminating technical debt

  • Add any external authoring tool or system via API, or choose Hygraph’s built-in editorial experience

Content teams

  • Content autonomy. No devs, no tickets, no waiting.

  • Full version history means a wrong price, image, or claim never needs an engineering fire drill to undo.

  • Schedule and coordinate campaigns across markets in a single interface

Hygraph keeps content teams moving without breaking what's live

Editing, without the dependencies

Editors write, preview, and ship a page themselves, and every draft stays on-brand by design.

Authoring

Write with live preview and a rich text editor, and build pages from ready-made components, no developer needed.

SEO and GEO

Never worry about visibility, reusable SEO components keep every page optimized, for search and for AI discovery.

AI-assisted editing

Bring AI into your workflow, through MCP, AI agents, or AI assist, whichever fits how you create.

Brand-safe by design

Set brand voice and compliance guardrails once through AI roles and permissions, so every AI-assisted draft stays on-brand.

More hands, same control

More people touching content means more chances for the wrong publish. Hygraph's workflows keep that risk in check without turning every change into a ticket.

Workflow stages, your way

Configure up to 10 approval workflows per project, matched to how your team actually reviews and signs off on content.

Permissions that scale with the team

Role-based access means each person sees and edits only what's relevant, so growing the team doesn't mean losing control over publishing.

Notifications where your team already works

Route approvals and status changes to Slack, email, or your own tools via webhook, so no one has to babysit a dashboard.

Control what's live, and when

Every change is tracked with version history, so any state can be restored with one click. Content can be scheduled to go live at a set time.
