How do I publish a Medium post?

Short answer: You can create medium post in Medium by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Medium Create Medium Post action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
