Leadstore Content Autopilot publishes straight to Sanity using the Sanity HTTP API. Drafts are converted to Portable Text, images are uploaded as real Sanity assets, and documents land in your dataset ready to render on any front end your Sanity project powers.
Why Sanity + Leadstore
Sanity stores content as structured data (Portable Text) instead of rendered HTML. That is exactly what AI-era publishing needs: the same post can power your website, app, and any other surface, and the structure survives intact for crawlers that extract answers from your markup.
Leadstore Content Autopilot speaks that language natively. Generated posts are converted to Portable Text blocks with real heading hierarchy, lists, and inline formatting, so what lands in your Studio looks like an editor wrote it there.
How the connection works
■
Go to Integrations → CMS and select Sanity.
■
Enter your Sanity project ID and dataset (production is the default).
■
Create an API token in sanity.io/manage under API → Tokens with write permissions, and paste it into Leadstore.
■
Optionally set an author name to attach to published posts.
■
From Content Autopilot, select Sanity as your publish target.
What gets published
Leadstore creates a document in your dataset through the Sanity mutations API with the generated title, slug, body, and excerpt. The body is genuine Portable Text: headings, paragraphs, lists, and links as typed blocks your front end already knows how to render.
Images are handled the Sanity way: Leadstore uploads each image as an asset to your dataset first, then references the asset in the document. No hotlinked external URLs that break later.
Measuring the impact
■
Install Leadstore Tag on the site your Sanity project powers to track AI assistant referrals from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.
■
Compare AI crawler activity on Content Autopilot posts versus hand-written ones.
■
Use the editorial calendar to keep a steady publish cadence. Freshness is a signal both AI crawlers and Google respond to.
Security notes
Use a token scoped to write access on the one dataset Leadstore publishes to, and rotate or revoke it anytime from sanity.io/manage without touching your other credentials.
Each Leadstore site connects to its own Sanity project and dataset, so multi-brand teams can keep every property's content separate.
How this fits into the three Leadstore stages
■
Stage 1, account + site added: users get the audit reward before any tag or key - four core channel scores, top fixes, readiness, generated llms.txt and llm-data.json, and the Leadstore Tag snippet to install.
■
Stage 2, tag installed: users get the live telemetry reward with no key required - AI-crawler activity by engine, verified-bot counts, human traffic, top sources, top pages, devices and geography.
■
Stage 3, key connected: users add answer tracking on top of the audit and telemetry layers - Visibility Score, SAIV, Brand Monitor, share of voice, citations, competitors and hallucination checks.
Next step
