How this automation works

Create Ghost draft posts automatically so you can review or republish WordPress content. It runs whenever you publish a post on your WordPress blog and creates a draft on your Ghost site populated with the post title, content, tags, excerpt, and feature image. This is useful for bloggers and content managers who maintain sites on both WordPress and Ghost and want to preserve formatting and check images and tags before publishing.
