Connecting and Working with Duda Sites in Atarim

Connect a Duda account once, point each project at its site, and let Atarim's AI work on it — with one important difference from WordPress.

Connecting and Working with Duda Sites in Atarim
Before you start

Relevant for

  • Agencies and site owners who build on Duda and want Atarim's AI working on those sites alongside their WordPress ones.

Tools & resources needed

  • A Duda account containing the sites you want to work on.
  • Edit access on the Atarim workspace, to link projects and run actions.

Atarim works on Duda sites as well as WordPress ones. The setup is two steps: connect your Duda account to the workspace, then tell each project which Duda site it belongs to. After that you can ask for blog posts, store updates and content changes in the same place you ask for everything else.

One thing works differently from WordPress, and it is worth knowing before you start rather than after: Duda changes are not held for your approval.

What This Actually Does

Atarim connects to your Duda account once, at workspace level. After that you tell each Atarim project which Duda site it belongs to, and the AI can work on that site directly — writing blog posts, managing store products, updating the content library, and reading the site’s stats and form submissions.

The link matters because Duda identifies a site by an opaque id rather than a domain. Once a project is linked, you can talk about “this project” and Atarim knows which Duda site you mean.

Duda actions are not held for approval
This is the one thing to read before connecting. On a WordPress site, anything destructive stops and waits for you in the Approval Queue. Duda has no equivalent gate. A Duda action runs as soon as it is asked for. Atarim’s AI is instructed to confirm with you before it changes or deletes anything, but that is guidance rather than a lock. Treat a request to change a Duda site the way you would treat doing it yourself.

Connecting Duda to Your Workspace

One connection covers the whole workspace and every site in that Duda account. You only do this once.

Instructions:

  • Open Settings > Integrations, under Connected Apps.
  • Find the Duda card and select Connect with Duda.
  • You leave Atarim and land on Duda’s own sign-in and consent screen. Approve the connection there.
  • Duda sends you back to the Integrations page. The card now reads Duda is connected to this workspace.
  • The Connected Apps section of Settings and Integrations

    Note
    It is a full page redirect rather than a popup, so you will briefly leave Atarim. If the connection fails you are returned with an error rather than left on Duda. Reconnect and Disconnect both sit on the same card afterwards in Settings > Integrations.

    Linking a Project to a Duda Site

    Connecting the account is not enough on its own. Each project has to be pointed at one Duda site before the AI will touch it.

    Instructions:

  • Open the project and go to Project Settings.
  • Find the Duda Site field and select Link a Duda site. The field only appears once the workspace has Duda connected.
  • Your Duda sites load with a confidence badge against each — either domain match or a percentage guess — and whether the site is Published or Not published.
  • Choose the site you know is correct, then select Link site.
  • Project Settings open on a project

    Nothing is selected for you, deliberately
    As the picker itself says, match confidence is a hint only. An unpublished Duda site has a generated address that often resembles neither the project’s name nor its URL, so a confident guess would be a good way to edit the wrong live site. Pick the one you recognise.

    Once linked, the field reads Linked to with the site’s domain. Change swaps it for a different site and Unlink removes the link. You can also ask the AI to link a project, and it will show you the same candidates and wait for you to choose.

    What Atarim Can Do on a Duda Site

    AreaWhat it covers
    Blog postsWriting and managing posts on the site’s blog.
    Content libraryThe shared content the site draws on.
    StoreDuda’s native eCommerce — products and the catalogue behind them.
    CollectionsStructured content sets used across the site.
    BookingsThe appointment side of a Duda site.
    Site statsReading how the site is performing.
    Form submissionsReading what visitors have sent through the site’s forms.
    Note
    This list comes from Duda rather than from Atarim, so it follows whatever Duda makes available. Page layout and design work still happen in Duda’s own editor — this is content, commerce and data, not the visual builder.

    Known Limitations

  • One Duda account per workspace. If you manage sites across several Duda accounts, they need separate Atarim workspaces.
  • One Duda site per project. Use Change to point a project somewhere else rather than linking twice.
  • No approval gate. Unlike WordPress, Duda changes are not held for sign-off.
  • Design and layout stay in Duda. The visual builder is not something Atarim drives.
  • FAQs

    Do I need to connect Duda for every project?

    No. One connection covers the whole workspace and every site in that Duda account. What you do per project is link it to the right site.

    Why can I not find my site in the list?

    The list comes from the connected Duda account, so a site built under a different account will not appear. Unpublished sites do appear, but under a generated address rather than the domain you expect, which is why they often show a low match score.

    Does linking change anything on the Duda site?

    No. Linking only records which Duda site this project means. Nothing is written to the site until you ask for something.

    Do Duda changes wait for my approval like WordPress ones?

    No, and this is the important difference. WordPress actions that would change a site are held in the Approval Queue until you decide. Duda actions run as soon as they are asked for. The AI is instructed to confirm before changing or deleting anything, but nothing stops it the way the Approval Queue does.

    What happens if I disconnect Duda?

    Atarim stops being able to reach any of those sites. Project links are left in place, so reconnecting the same account puts things back rather than making you link every project again.

    Atarim says it cannot reach Duda. What now?

    That normally means the stored connection has expired or been revoked at the Duda end. Open Settings > Integrations and select Reconnect on the Duda card.

    Common issues

    • The Duda Site field is not on the project — the workspace has not connected Duda yet. The field only appears once it has.
    • Your site is not in the picker — it belongs to a different Duda account, or it is unpublished and listed under a generated address rather than its domain.
    • Atarim says the project is not linked to a Duda site — connecting the account is not enough on its own. Link the project in Project Settings.
    • Atarim cannot reach Duda any more — the connection has expired or been revoked at the Duda end. Select Reconnect on the Duda card in Settings > Integrations.
    • Changes landed on the wrong site — the project was linked to the wrong Duda site. Use Change to correct it, and pick by recognition rather than by match score.

    Conclusion

    Connect once at workspace level, then link each project to the Duda site it actually is. The linking step is the one worth slowing down for, because everything Atarim does afterwards depends on it pointing at the right place.

    And remember the difference from WordPress: on Duda there is no Approval Queue standing between a request and the live site. Ask for changes on Duda the way you would make them yourself.
