I was able to publish content in Ghost connecting Zapier + Gmail.
It works ok with plain text, but what I wanted to do is to publish a YouTube video (embed).
What Zapier does is to write the URL of the video, not embedding the video. I tried many things but none of them worked for me.
Have you ever tried this with success?
Thanks
I kind of get it but there are a couple things (sorry if im asking too much):
Why do you want to add a video to a post already done from Gmail?
Is your intention always post from Gmail?
Are you trying to use Gmail + Ghost similar to when you save articles in Pocket? You get ideas and then you “save them” by sending a mail.
In my opinion, the best workaround is to make a post in gmail using markdown with something like Markdown here. Put the video using Markdown and then try it again.
@Joan_Moreno when configuring the Ghost integration’s “publish post” step, if you change the format to “html” you can embed Youtube videos with something like this:
No worries.
Imagine that you are away from your computer and you want to post a video that you saw in your mobile.
By sharing the video to your Gmail, Zapier makes the post in Ghost.
Makes sense. I do it all the time as well, but i use the native apps which is easier!
I was asking to see if i could go beyond. If you have an android phone, you can install the app and just place it in a draft. That’s what i do (i like simple things).
Anyways, if you feel more comfortable with Gmail, @Kevin’s suggestion is on point.
