Compatibility

| Strapi | Plugin | |--------|--------| | 5.x | 1.x |

Installation

npm install strapi-bulk-publish

Configuration

Add to your config/plugins.ts (or .js):

export default ({ env }) => ({
  'bulk-publish': {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      contentType: 'api::blog-post.blog-post', // required — your content type UID
      titleField: 'title',                      // optional, default: 'title'
    },
  },
});

Options

| Option | Type | Required | Default | Description | |--------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | contentType | string | yes | — | Strapi content type UID (e.g. api::article.article) | | titleField | string | no | 'title' | Field name used as the display title in the admin list |

Webhook

Configure the webhook in Settings > Bulk Publish > Webhook. Two formats are supported:

Generic JSON

Sends a POST request with Content-Type: application/json:

{
  "event": "bulk-publish",
  "posts": ["documentId1", "documentId2"],
  "publishedAt": "2026-05-08T12:00:00.000Z"
}

If a token is configured, it is sent as an Authorization: Bearer <token> header. Any custom variables are merged into the JSON body as top-level keys.

GitLab Pipeline Trigger

Sends a POST request with Content-Type: multipart/form-data, matching the GitLab pipeline trigger API:

token=<trigger-token>
ref=<branch>
variables[BULK_PUBLISH_EVENT]=bulk-publish
variables[BULK_PUBLISH_POSTS]=docId1,docId2
variables[BULK_PUBLISH_DATE]=2026-05-08T12:00:00.000Z
variables[YOUR_CUSTOM_VAR]=value

Webhook Settings

| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | Preset | Generic JSON or GitLab Pipeline Trigger | | URL | Webhook endpoint URL | | Token | Auth token (Bearer header for generic, trigger token for GitLab) | | Branch Ref | Git branch for GitLab pipeline trigger (GitLab only) | | Variables | Key-value pairs sent as extra fields with every request |

The webhook request has a 10-second timeout. Private/internal URLs (localhost, private IP ranges) are blocked for SSRF protection.

Permissions

Configure in Settings > Roles:

| Action | Purpose | |--------|---------| | plugin::bulk-publish.publish | Access bulk publish page and publish documents | | plugin::bulk-publish.settings | View and edit webhook settings |
