Setup Guide

Connect to Wakflo

In Wakflo, select Ghost CMS integration and enter your Admin API Key and Admin URL. You can get these credentials from your Ghost admin panel under Settings > Integrations.

Test Connection

Verify the connection by retrieving test data to ensure everything is working properly.

The Ghost CMS integration requires an Admin API Key. Make sure you create a custom integration in your Ghost admin panel and use the Admin API credentials (not the Content API).

Best Practices

Working with Ghost CMS

•Use webhooks in combination with Ghost triggers for real-time content updates
•Always test post creation in draft mode before publishing automatically
•Use tags and custom fields to organize and automate content workflows
•Monitor API rate limits to avoid service disruptions
•Keep your Admin API key secure and rotate it regularly

Troubleshooting

Authentication Failed

•Verify you're using the Admin API key (not Content API key)
•Ensure the Admin API URL is correct and includes the version path
•Check that your API key hasn't been revoked or regenerated
•Confirm your Ghost instance is accessible and running

Post Creation Issues

•Ensure all required fields are populated (title, content)
•Check that tags exist before assigning them to posts
•Verify HTML content is properly formatted and escaped
•Test with draft posts before publishing automatically

Rate Limit Errors

•Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for API calls
•Batch operations when possible to reduce API requests
•Monitor your API usage through Ghost admin analytics
•Consider upgrading your Ghost plan if hitting limits frequently
