Ghost post scheduler
Schedule articles, feature image to Ghost
Draft once, pick your Ghost channel next to any other network you post to, and set the time. Postauto holds the limit of 100,000 characters (description); 255 characters (title) against your draft, departs every channel at that minute, and tells you what Ghost did with it.
The rules
The Ghost rules Postauto works to
Taken from Ghost's own developer documentation, not from a marketing page.
Count your draft against this limit, and against every other network at the same time. No account needed.
| Content types | Articles, Feature image |
|---|---|
| Character limit | 100,000 characters (description); 255 characters (title) |
| Media rules | The first image is uploaded to your Ghost and set as the feature image; further images go in the article body |
| Account requirement | An Admin API key from Settings, Integrations, Add custom integration on your own site |
| Availability | Live |
Network note
Nothing to register and no review. Ghost Pro and self-hosted both work, and the key is revocable on its own from the same screen.
Departure
What happens to a Ghost post
-
In the composer
The 100,000 limit is checked before you schedule
Write once, tick your Ghost account alongside anything else you post to, and the counter runs against 100,000 characters (description); 255 characters (title) while you type. Over the limit means you cannot schedule, not a failure tomorrow morning.
-
On the board
Departures, not a spreadsheet of rows
Scheduled posts line up by time. You see what leaves next, what already departed, and what needs a look, without opening anything.
-
After it leaves
A Ghost result of its own
Every channel reports separately. A Ghost rejection does not stop the other networks, and the network's own error text is shown on the board in plain language.
-
At rest
Credentials encrypted with AES-256-GCM
Your Ghost credentials are encrypted before they reach the database, are never logged in plaintext, and are decrypted only at the moment of publishing.
Per-channel results
You can see what each network did
One post, one row per channel. Departed channels carry a link to the live post; a failed channel carries the network's own error text, so you know whether to fix the wording, the media, or the connection.
Send the same draft to
Tick these next to Ghost in the composer and they all leave at the same time.
Ghost scheduling questions
What can I publish to Ghost with Postauto?
Articles, Feature image. The first image is uploaded to your Ghost and set as the feature image; further images go in the article body.
What is the Ghost character limit?
100,000 characters (description); 255 characters (title). The Postauto composer checks this limit against every account you select before the post is scheduled, so nothing fails at departure time over length.
What do I need to connect Ghost?
An Admin API key from Settings, Integrations, Add custom integration on your own site.
Is Ghost scheduling available on Postauto right now?
Yes. Ghost publishing is live for every Postauto account today.
Anything specific to Ghost I should know?
Copy the ADMIN API key, not the Content API key: they sit on the same screen and only one of them can publish. The first line of your post becomes the article title, and a trailing line of hashtags becomes the article's tags. The site address is checked before any request leaves our network, so a connection cannot be pointed at a private address.
Can I post to Ghost and other networks at the same time?
Yes. One composer publishes to any mix of your connected channels, and each network's limits are checked per selected channel. Every channel departs at the same scheduled time.
What happens if a Ghost post fails?
Each channel reports its own result. If Ghost rejects a post, your other selected networks still publish, the post is marked partial, and the board shows a readable error for the failed channel.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 1 channel · 15 posts a month, no card required.
