Publish to Strapi automatically
For sites with a Strapi back end. Each article is created as an entry in the collection you name, through Strapi's REST API. It works with Strapi 5 and Strapi 4.
How to connect

From then on, each article is published there on its scheduled day. Switch on "Hold articles for my approval" first if you want to read each one before it goes out.

Worth knowing first
- Create a custom API token in Strapi admin under Settings, API Tokens, with find, create and update on the collection.
- You name the title, slug and content fields. The content can be sent as Markdown for a rich text field or as HTML for a text field.
- Your front end decides when a new entry shows up on the site. If it is statically built, it needs a rebuild trigger on your side.
What arrives
One article a day by default: a title, a slug, the body with headings and links to your own pages, a meta description, and a cover image when images are switched on. The same article is always published to your hosted blog too, so there is a copy with a sitemap and structured data whatever your CMS does with it.
