How to create custom blocks

Custom blocks allow you to develop and add your features to the CMS.

Custom blocks let you create external custom applications, integrate them into the platform, and add them as blocks to the body of your content.

Creating custom blocks

To create a custom block:

  1. In the left sidebar, under CUSTOMIZATION, select Custom Blocks, then select New Custom block.

Custom Blocks listing in CMS 4.8.0: Custom Blocks selected under CUSTOMIZATION in the sidebar, the New Custom block button, a search box, and an empty Title / Actions table.

  1. Type the name of your block in the Block name box.
  2. Paste a link to an external application in the Application URL box.
