How do I publish a post to WordPress from a workflow?

Short answer: You can create post in WordPress by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the WordPress Create Post action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Post.

What does the Create Post action do in WordPress?

Creates a new blog post on your WordPress site with title, content, status (draft/publish), categories, tags, and featured image. Use it to pipe AI-drafted articles or external CMS content into WordPress.

What inputs does Create Post require?

Required: Title, Content. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if WordPress returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message WordPress returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Post support batch operations?

Run Create Post inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within WordPress's rate limits.
