Ghost Integration

Overview

The Ghost integration creates draft posts on your Ghost blog. Your newsletter content is formatted as HTML and ready to publish or send as an email through Ghost's built-in newsletter feature.

Setup Instructions

Shipletter uses Ghost's Admin API to create draft posts. You must use an Admin API key, not a Content API key. The Content API key does not have permission to create posts.

Step 1: Create a Custom Integration

1. Log in to your Ghost admin panel
2. Go to Settings → Integrations
3. Click Add custom integration
4. Name it "Shipletter" (or any name you like)
5. Copy the Admin API Key (format: id:secret) — do not use the Content API key

Step 2: Connect in Shipletter

1. Go to the Connections tab in your Shipletter dashboard
2. Under Email Platform, select Ghost
3. Enter your Ghost site URL (e.g., https://your-site.ghost.io)
4. Paste your Admin API key (the id:secret value from Ghost)
5. Click Connect Ghost

Using the Integration

When you approve a draft in Slack, Shipletter will:

1. Create a draft post on your Ghost blog
2. Set the title from your subject line
3. Format content as HTML
4. Send you a link to edit in Ghost

From Ghost, you can edit, add images, and publish as a blog post or send as a newsletter.
