Connect your site, publish automatically

Choose your platform

• WordPress

  DraftRank publishes to WordPress through the built-in REST API, authenticated with an application password — a revocable credential separate from your login password, with no plugin to install. Posts arrive with their formatting, excerpt and slug intact, the cover image uploaded as the featured image, and the category and tags set. Works on self-hosted WordPress and on WordPress.com Business.

• Ghost

  DraftRank publishes to Ghost through the Admin API, using a custom integration you create in Ghost Admin — no plugin, and the Admin API key is signed into a short-lived token for each request rather than being sent as-is. Posts arrive with their formatting and slug intact, the cover set as the feature image, the article's category as the primary tag, and the excerpt filled from the meta description.

• Custom Website

  The universal destination. DraftRank sends each finished post as a JSON POST request to a URL you control, optionally signed so you can prove it came from us. What happens next is entirely your code — write to a database, commit a markdown file, trigger a rebuild, or forward it somewhere else.

How connecting works

The same five steps on every platform. Only the credential differs.

1. 1

   Open the destination list for your site

   In DraftRank, open the site you want to publish from, then the Integrations tab. “Add a destination” lists all six platforms.

2. 2

   Pick a platform and fill in the form

   Each platform asks for a location (your site URL, store domain or collection) and a credential (an application password, API key or token). The guide for your platform below tells you exactly where each value comes from.

3. 3

   Choose draft or live

   “Save as draft” creates an unpublished post you approve by hand on the destination. “Publish live” makes it public the moment DraftRank sends it. Start on draft until you have seen one post arrive correctly.

4. 4

   Press Test & connect

   DraftRank makes a real authenticated call to the platform before saving. If it fails, nothing is stored and the exact error is shown — look it up in the Troubleshooting table on your platform's page.

5. 5

   Decide how posts get there

   Leave auto-publish off to send posts by hand or on a schedule. Turn it on and every newly generated post goes to this destination immediately, skipping the schedule.

Publishing and scheduling are Pro features. On the Free plan you can generate and export posts, but connecting a destination requires an upgrade. Every credential you enter is encrypted before it is stored and is never shown back to you.
