We build Influence, a workspace for drafting, reviewing and scheduling content across a Ghost publication and social channels. Our Ghost connection is now available, and we wanted to share the setup with other publishers here.
You can write an article, set its title, HTML body, authors, tags and feature image, choose who can read it, then review it and publish or schedule it from the same editorial calendar you use for social posts. AI drafting and images are available when you want help with a first version. You review the content before it is sent.
To connect a Ghost site:
- In Ghost settings, open Integrations and add a Custom Integration for Influence.
- Copy its API URL and Admin API key into the Ghost connection in Influence. Use the admin domain when it differs from your public site. The Content API key cannot publish articles.
- Add your article in the composer, select the Ghost publication, set its article fields and reader access, and review the result.
- Publish it or choose a scheduled time. You can use the calendar to coordinate the article with its social posts.
The Ghost setup guide covers the connection and article options. Influence is a paid service with a seven-day trial that requires a card and becomes a paid subscription unless canceled. Plan details are on influence.so.

If you use Ghost alongside social channels, we’d be interested in which parts of the article-to-social workflow take the most time.
