I need help.
I have made a workflow that uses ASANA → GOOGLE DOCS → CHATGPT → GOOGLE DOCS to write an article.
What I would like to do next is that the GOOGLE DOC and then push it into WordPress. I know in order to do this, I would have to mark up the GOOGLE DOC into HTML or something.
Can anyone help me achieve this?
Have you considered writing the doc in Markdown? There are a few Markdown → HTML converters. Markdown is typically easier to author when you need to add just a bit of formatting (sections, bold / italics, quotes, etc.), and then you can convert that to HTML and style those elements accordingly on your Wordpress site. That would be my high-level advice.
okay.
But how do I move the data from Google Doc to Wordpress?
Could you watch for new docs in a specific folder in Google Drive? https://pipedream.com/apps/google-drive/triggers/new-files-instant will trigger a workflow each time a file is added (optionally in a specific folder). The workflow could then fetch the file contents, process it, and upload to Wordpress.
Which apps should I look into to fetch the file contents, process it and upload to Wordpress?
You should be able to use the Google Drive API in Pipedream to get the file contents - we should have an action for that. We also support the Wordpress API, so take a look at their API docs to see if you can automatically create posts / pages
We don’t have triggers and actions for it, but you can write Node / Python code against it: https://pipedream.com/apps/wordpress-com
Using this code:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
wordpress_com: {
type: "app",
app: "wordpress_com",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.wordpress_com.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
What would this allow me to do?
This code defines a Pipedream component that makes an API request to the Wordpress.com API to get information about the authenticated user. It uses the OAuth access token provided by the connected Wordpress.com account to authorize the request. When you run this component in a Pipedream workflow, it will return the user information from the Wordpress.com API.
what if the site is a Wordpress site, not hosted on Wordpress?
If your site is a self-hosted WordPress site, you can use the WordPress REST API to interact with your site. You’ll need to authenticate with your self-hosted WordPress site using a different method, such as Basic Authentication or OAuth. Once you have the necessary authentication in place, you can make API requests to your self-hosted WordPress site from a Pipedream workflow using the axios package. For example, to create a post using the WordPress REST API, you can make a POST request to https://your-site.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts. Replace [your-site.com](http://your-site.com) with your actual site’s domain.

my site is not Wordpress hosted. So how would connect to my own Wordpress?
