The Ghost integration creates posts on your Ghost site. You connect with the Admin API key of a custom integration, then publish from the article editor. Set it up under Integrations → Ghost. Each project connects one Ghost site.

​
Setup

1

Create a custom integration in Ghost

In Ghost Admin (for example https://yourblog.ghost.io/ghost/), go to Settings → Integrations, click Add custom integration, name it “ChatFeatured” and click Create.
2

Copy the Admin API key

In the integration’s details, reveal and copy the whole Admin API Key. It looks like {id}:{secret}, with a colon in the middle. A key without a colon is the Content API key, which can’t publish.
3

Connect in ChatFeatured

Go to Integrations → Ghost, enter your Ghost Site URL (for example https://yourblog.ghost.io), paste the key into Admin API Key, and click Connect Ghost. Use the address where Ghost Admin answers; a custom domain works if Ghost Admin is reachable on it.
To replace the key later, paste it into New Admin API Key on the connection card and click Update API Key. If a publish fails, its error appears on the card as Last error.

​
Publish an article

In the article editor, click Publish or Schedule and choose Ghost. The Publish to Ghost dialog has:
  • Publish Status: Save as Draft, Publish Now or Schedule, with a date, time and timezone for Schedule.
  • Author: Default author or any staff user on your Ghost site.
  • Tags: type a tag and click Add, or pick an existing Ghost tag. New tags are created in Ghost.
The title, body, excerpt, meta description and featured image are sent with the post. Ghost generates the slug from the title. Posts aren’t emailed to your members; send a newsletter from Ghost if you want one. Deleting an article in ChatFeatured doesn’t touch the Ghost post. Once published, the editor shows View In Ghost instead of Publish. To change the post, choose Unpublish from the article’s menu in the Articles list, edit it, then publish again. The same Ghost post is updated.

​
Troubleshooting

You probably copied the Content API key, or only part of the key. Go back to the custom integration in Ghost and copy the whole Admin API Key, which has a colon between its two parts.
Ghost doesn’t recognise the key. The integration may have been deleted, or its key regenerated, in Ghost. Copy the current key and paste it into New Admin API Key.
