Configuring Content Calendar plugin: understanding "type" and "titleField

14 repliesLast updated: Nov 29, 2025

Hi all, I am looking at integrating the calendar https://www.sanity.io/plugins/content-calendar and I am stuck at the configuration in
config/content-calendar.json
, specifically

"types": [
    {
      "type": "post",
      "field": "publishedAt",
      "titleField": "title"
    }
  ],
does type mean something like ‘document’ and what is the purpose of ‘titleField’ as there was no mention of it in
https://www.sanity.io/blog/calendar-plugin

In the config/content-calendar.json configuration file:

"type" refers to your document type (schema name), not the word "document" itself. So if you have a document schema called post, article, or event, that's what goes in the type field.

"titleField" specifies which field from your document should be displayed as the title/name of the event in the calendar view. This helps you identify documents at a glance when looking at the calendar.

For example, in your configuration:

{
  "type": "post",
  "field": "publishedAt",
  "titleField": "title"
}

The titleField also supports nested properties using dot notation, like "title.en" if you have localized fields.

Important note: This plugin is now deprecated. The Sanity team recommends using sanity-plugin-scheduled-publishing instead, which is the modern, actively maintained solution for scheduling content in Sanity Studio.
