Idea: Discord Bot That Announces Ghost Blog Posts

:waving_hand: Hey all!

I’m planning to build a Discord bot that automatically publishes a message in your server whenever there’s a new post on your Ghost blog.

What do you guys think of the idea? Would it be useful to you? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome! :blush:

Isn’t this already achievable with N8N, IFTTT, and Zapier?
Not to crush your ambition, but there are several options in the game already.

Yeah, pretty much. I haven’t since 2020, but it is as easy as creating a Webhook in Discord, and taking the details from the URL, and putting it in a webhook under a Ghost custom integration. No need for third-party services at all. Same as Slack.

Totally, I mean, there is apis and slack, even n8n which I currently use all have these functionality, and it’s very easy as well. Even tho there are so many options, I’m just bored af. So I thought maybe I can work on this for no reason.

I have already created something, and it does perform similar, here is the link : GitHub - Krithiv-7/GhostDiscordBot: A feature-rich Discord bot that automatically posts Ghost blog articles to your Discord server with smart notifications, role pinging, and powerful content discovery tools., check out the stagging branch.

I wouldn’t say this is perfect or really much useful, but just making something like a side quest :joy::sweat_smile:.
