Sanity Setup | Crawlbaby

Showing placeholder site values. Open this from a site settings page to prefill the Crawlbaby endpoint and production domain.

Basics

Use the site’s saved base URL as the production domain. Collect only the Sanity values needed for routing and webhook generation.

Create or rotate it in Website Integration first.

Leave unused rows blank. Route patterns support only {slug}, {locale}, {parent}, and {category} placeholders.

Routing limitations / assumptions

Publish-only mode matches Sanity’s default webhook behavior: published document changes trigger the webhook while drafts stay ignored.
Sanity drafts and versions stay disabled by default. Enable them only if your production site renders unpublished content.
Delete triggers stay disabled in this guide. This setup is intentionally limited to live page creates and updates.
Route patterns support only {slug}, {locale}, {parent}, and {category} placeholders.
The {category} placeholder assumes a single reference field whose target document exposes slug.current.
