Publish Banner for Joomla

Sets a Joomla banner's state to published so it appears in assigned banner modules.

Overview

Sets a Joomla banner's state to published so it appears in assigned banner modules.

When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Publish Banner against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.

Why use this node

Publish Banner is a action step in the Banners group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.

Typical reasons teams add Publish Banner to a flow:

  • Publish Banner on your linked Joomla site when the flow reaches this step
  • Publish banner based on webhook, schedule, or CMS event data
  • Integrate Banners operations with messaging, AI, or database steps in one canvas

Example workflows

Common patterns on the canvas:

  1. Trigger or Webhook → upstream steps → Publish BannerSend Email or CMS update
  2. Scheduled triggerPublish BannerDebug (while testing) → production action

How to set it up

Banner ID on the Design tab.

Good to know

Pair with create-banner in draft flows — create hidden, then publish when ready.

Properties panel

The designer shows these tabs for this node:

TabPurpose
InfoPlain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps
GeneralCanvas label and read-only node ID
AIOptional assistant to help draft settings from plain language
DesignNode-specific configuration fields

System (automatic — not edited by the user)

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

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 {{publish_banner.id}}.

statenumberPublished state (0 = unpublished, 1 = published).
