This WordPress integration helps you connect your Flows to WordPress and fully automate your content pipeline. Not only can your posts be automatically generated, they can now be sent to WordPress or even published automatically.
Thanks to the built-in SEO tools, the ability to get real-time knowledge, and generate or screenshot pictures, the content can get as close to human-created as possible. All you have to do is edit it and hit publish, or you can even set it up to publish automatically without any human intervention.
In this guide, we’ll cover what the Create WordPress Post component is, how to set it up, and how to use it in a Flow. We’ll also look at a purpose-built Flow you can quickly grab from our Flow Library.
To use this component, you need to integrate with WordPress first. See the WordPress integration guide.

Typical Use Cases
- Automated Content Publishing: Use AI to generate and publish articles, news updates, or blog posts directly to your WordPress site.
- Content Syndication: Distribute posts across multiple WordPress sites in a network.
- Workflow Integration: Chain content creation with other actions, like sharing to social media, sending notifications, or updating SEO tools.
- Custom Post Management: Leverage all native and custom fields available in WordPress for specialized content types.
How To Set Up the Create WordPress Post Component
The component lets you fully control all aspects of the post creation, making sure you can create a full-featured article with minimal to no human intervention. Let’s take a look at all the options. We’ll start by going over the handles:
Input handles
- Post Content: Here’s where you connect the final output text you want to publish.
- Featured Image: Connect the featured image here. You can have the Flow generate it, search your knowledge base, or the internet.
- Post Meta: Add custom fields, such as categories, tags, date, etc.
- Post Excerpt: Add a summary of the post.
- Post Slug: A URL friendly title of the article.
- Post Title: The main title of your post.
Output handles
Using output handles of this component is optional. This component works perfectly fine at the end of the flow too. In such case, the flow ends with the output being sent to your WordPress installation. You can, however, set up further processing and actions.
- After Create Post: Set actions to perform after a post is created. For example, set up notifications or automatically update your content tracking Google Sheet.
- Tool: Send the finished post to an agent for further processing.
Component Settings
- WordPress Site: Pick the WordPress site to post to. This is useful for when you integrate more than one site. This setting is required.
- Post Status: Pick whether you want the post to be created as a draft, pending, or be immediately published. The default status is draft.
- Categories: Name the post category to assign this post to. (optional)
- Custom Post Type: It’s possible to generate content for custom post types. If this is left empty, a standard blog post is created.
- Sticky Post: Check only if you want to pin the post to the front page.
- Tags: Assign WordPress tags.
- Tool Description: If you’re connecting the output to an agent, use this field to help the agent understand how to use the output.
- Tool Name: If you’re connecting the output to an agent as a tool, you can give this tool a name.
- Verbose: Whether to print verbose output of agent’s thinking. This is useful for debugging and monitoring how the AI agent works and thinks.
Using The WordPress Create Post Component
This component will typically be used with blog content writing Flows, but there’s no limit to the kind of posts you want to create and send to WordPress.
You can find a wide selection of pre-made writing Flows in the Content Writing and Marketing Flow Library categories, and edit them to your liking. Or you can always build your own.
Creating The Flow
The Flow Library contains a purpose-built WordPress Flow that uses our most advanced blog generation Flow. That’s the Flow we’ll look at in this guide. To find it:
- Navigate to the Flow Library in FlowHunt.
- Search for WordPress AI Blog Generator and click + Add to my Flows.
Understanding The WordPress AI Blog Generator Flow
Most of the magic happens in the two brown boxes titled Idea Generation and Blog Generation, which create the entire post content. These are Run Flow components, and they let you use a Flow within a Flow. Thanks to these two components, you’re looking at just 11 components instead of close to 50.
If you open the Run Flow component settings, you can see what Flows they’re calling on. Here you can change the Flow used for generation to better fit your needs. You can pick any Flow saved from “My Flows” or the public Flow Library.
Besides the post content handle, you’ll notice that Blog Generation is also connected to all three prompts, giving them context from which to generate. As you can see by their names, these prompts help you create the title, the slug, and the featured image. Feel free to adjust any of the prompts to better fit your needs.
Using the WordPress AI Blog Generator Flow
Now that you have the Flow in your library and understand its components, it’s time to connect it to your website and start generating.
- Click on the Create WordPress Post component and configure it to connect to your website, pick status and optionally edit the other settings:
- Feel free to adjust any prompts or switch to different blog and idea generation Flows.
- Remember that the Flow outputs right to WordPress. To see the output, go to WordPress Dashboard -> Posts. If you want to see the generated article in chat too, add a Chat Output component and connect all the outputs you want to see.
With these steps completed, you’re all set! Next, simply provide a keyword, and watch as the flow generates a new blog post for your site based on that keyword.
