microCMS provides three statuses: "Published," "Draft," and "Archived." In addition to these, you can create custom statuses and assign them to your content.

How to Create

Custom statuses can be created for each API.
To create a custom status, go to the top right of the API screen and select "API Settings" → "Custom Status," which will take you to the settings screen.

Here, we will introduce an example of creating a campaign end status.

Press the add button and enter the information needed to create the status.

Please enter the following information for each item.

• API Status Name: The status name that will be reflected in the API. Please set a name other than the default content statuses "PUBLISH," "DRAFT," and "CLOSED."
• Display Status Name: The status name displayed in the management screen. Set a name that clearly indicates what the status is at a glance.
• Status Description: Set a description for the status if available. It can be left blank.
• Status State: Choose the status state from "Published," "Draft," or "End of Publication."
• Status Color: Set the color of the status displayed in the management screen from the color palette.

Please enter values for "API Status Name" and "Display Status Name" that do not duplicate existing statuses.
Once the custom status is created, it will be displayed in the list.

How to Use

Once a custom status is created, the status display in the content detail screen will change to a dropdown, allowing you to switch the status here.

How to Retrieve Custom Status via API

Custom status is not included in the content API response.
To retrieve custom status via API, you will use the Management API (Beta).
When you make a request to content that includes custom status using the Management API (the target endpoint will be described later), the response will include customStatus as an array, as shown below.
The contents of the management screen will be reflected in the response.

• API Status Name: key
• Display Status Name: name
• Status Description: description
• Status State: behavior
• Status Color: color
