The problem it solves

Drafting posts in a spreadsheet is easy, but copying each one into WordPress, uploading the image, and adding the right tags takes real time. Doing it for several posts at once means repeating the same manual steps over and over.

Who it fits

Content teams, marketers, and solo site owners who draft posts in Google Sheets.

How it works

Checks the spreadsheet for rows marked ready to publish
Processes each row one at a time
Downloads the listed image and uploads it as the featured image
Creates any missing tags and attaches them to the post
Publishes the post to WordPress and updates the row with the live link

A published WordPress post with its featured image and tags, plus an updated spreadsheet row showing the live link.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a WordPress site with REST API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
