Content After Title trigger for Joomla

Overview

When it runs: During content layout rendering, immediately after the title is output and before the main body.

Allows plugins to inject markup between title and body on the front end.

Each run also includes who was logged in at the time and what kind of item was involved — see audit_user and audit_type in Payload Fields below.

This trigger is active when Platform Events are turned on in Joomla (System → JOrchestrator) and matching flows are set to Active.

When this trigger fires, JOrchestrator starts the flow and passes the incoming event or request data to the next connected step. Configure filtering, payload shape, and security on the Design tab.

Why use this node

Content After Title is a trigger in the Joomla Events › Content Events group. Triggers start a flow. They listen for an external signal — a CMS event, inbound HTTP call, payment notification, or schedule — and pass the incoming data to the first downstream step.

Typical reasons teams add Content After Title to a flow:

Automate backend work when Joomla fires ContentAfterTitle
Notify administrators or sync external systems on this CMS lifecycle event
Enrich or validate CMS data before it is persisted
Audit user, content, or extension activity without custom plugins

When it runs

During content layout rendering, immediately after the title is output and before the main body.

Example workflows

Common patterns on the canvas:

Content After Title → Send Notification (admin alert)
Content After Title → Insert Row (audit log)
Content After Title → If → Send Email / Update Article

Good to know

General → Joomla context filter (e.g. com_content.article) limits which content types trigger the flow.

Properties panel

The designer shows these tabs for this node:

Tab	Purpose
Info	Plain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps
Design	Trigger configuration and payload schema

System (automatic — not edited by the user)

These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

Property key	Label	Type	Required	Visible when	Notes
`_nodeId`	Node ID	`node-id`	No	—	—

User-configured — General tab

Property key	Label	Type	Required	Visible when	Notes
`label`	Label	`text`	No	—	Node label
`contentContextFilter`	Joomla context filter	`content-context-filter`	No	—	Front-end display — com_content.article between title and body.

CMS site configuration (not on this node's properties panel)

Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.

Output payload fields

After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{content_after_title.context}}.
