Postly for Ghost
Create complete Ghost posts with titles, slugs, excerpts, tags, featured images, member visibility, SEO metadata, social previews, custom templates, and publishing schedules.
Where you can publish
Content formats
Plan your first publish
Connect your Ghost publication and prepare the article. Review the excerpt, tags, featured image, canonical URL, and member visibility before saving a draft or scheduling. Check access on the live site after publication.
Prepare a public summary and a separate members-only article. Review the visibility of each item so the full article is available to the intended audience.
Inside your publishing workspace
Save named presets for your Ghost workflows, choose a preset when preparing content, and review the settings before publishing. Create, rename, and manage presets in your workspace.
Presets supply reusable defaults. Review content-specific settings and account permissions for every post.
You can also apply presets across organization workspaces where you have permission to manage them.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Connect Ghost with a Custom Integration Admin API key, then publish now or schedule the article.
Yes. Self-hosted Ghost is supported, and Ghost(Pro) is supported on plans that include Custom Integrations and the Admin API.
Use the Admin API key from Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations. Do not use the Content API key.
No. Ghost is currently a publishing channel; its stable integration-token Admin API does not provide the comments workflow Postly CRM requires.
Delete from Postly, DELETE /posts/{postId}, and postly_delete_post remove only the post in Postly. Live content remains on every platform. Save live links and provider IDs before removing the post. For supported published content, open the dashboard post menu and choose Delete on Platforms. Keep the post in Postly and review every destination result. Delete Everywhere removes the post only after every destination is resolved. A platform may refuse removal of an individual post. Review the result before assuming it is gone.
This Postly route supports images with a 10 MB application allowance; the site can impose additional restrictions. Direct video attachments are not supported by this Postly publishing route. Prepare an appropriate embed in article content instead.
Postly accepts up to twenty selected media files for article preparation. This is not a promise of a twenty-image carousel. Direct video attachments are unavailable through this route.
Upload supported image formats, including JPEG and PNG. In the editor, Postly automatically converts supported images when a destination needs a different format, while keeping compatible images unchanged. Use Fix images in the channel preview for remaining size or aspect-ratio issues, then review the result. Repairs are checked again. Tiny originals, unreadable files and images that still exceed requirements need replacing or manual export. Enlarging cannot restore missing detail. Videos are not automatically compressed or re-encoded.
Review each destination separately. A successful destination should not be republished just because another failed. If the result is unconfirmed, check the live destination before retrying to avoid duplicates. Correct rejected media and retry only the affected destination.
Prepare the article in the connected publication, select the intended member visibility, and review the excerpt, tags, and featured media. Save a draft for review or schedule, then check access on the live site.
Connect your account, build the post, review every platform setting, and schedule from one Postly workspace.
