Ghost

Postfjord publishes articles to your Ghost site like posts to any other channel. Write the article, pick your Ghost site with your other channels, and schedule it. It goes out at the time you chose, with its title, cover picture and tags.

This works with Ghost(Pro) and with Ghost you host yourself.

Make a custom integration

A custom integration gives Postfjord its own key to your site. Your password stays yours, and you can delete the integration at any time.

1. Sign in to your Ghost admin.
2. Open Settings, then Integrations.
3. Press Add custom integration and name it Postfjord.
4. Copy the API URL and the Admin API key. The key is two long parts with a colon between them.

Connect your site

1. Press Connect on the Ghost card under Channels.
2. Paste the API URL.
3. Paste the Admin API key and press Connect site.

Postfjord checks the address and the key with your site, then adds it as a channel. If something is wrong, the window says what.

Write an article

Pick your Ghost site in the composer and open its tab.

• Title: the headline of the article. It is needed.
• Text: the body of the article. A blank line starts a new paragraph. A line that starts with ## becomes a heading, and lines that start with - become a list. Web addresses turn into links.
• Hashtags: they become the article's tags. A tag that does not exist yet is made.
• Picture: the first picture becomes the article's feature image. An article takes one picture.
• Excerpt: a short summary that your theme shows in lists. Leave it empty and Ghost uses the start of the article.
• Send as: Published article puts it live on your site at the scheduled time. Draft on the site puts it in Ghost as a draft, where you look at it one last time and publish it yourself.

A published article is not sent as an email newsletter. Send it to your members from Ghost if you want that.

What Postfjord keeps

Postfjord keeps your site's address, its name and the Admin API key. The key is kept encrypted and is only used to publish your articles. Press Disconnect and Postfjord deletes the key. You can also delete the integration in Ghost under Settings, Integrations: Postfjord then stops at once.

When something goes wrong

If Ghost stops accepting the key, the channel says Reconnect. That happens when the integration was deleted or its key was made new. Copy the new key and connect again.
