When you post an article on WordPress, managing the data afterward becomes crucial. Do you ever feel that it's challenging to operate without any oversights while sharing information with teams like article creation and data analysis?

This is where the integration of WordPress and Airtable using Yoom comes in handy. With this integration, information related to posts is automatically added to Airtable, streamlining data management. With Yoom, you can easily set it up without any programming!

Benefits of Integrating WordPress and Airtable

Integrating WordPress and Airtable not only makes data management more efficient but also facilitates smooth information sharing, which can lead to smoother subsequent operations.

Benefit 1: Streamlining Post Management and Centralizing Data

By automatically adding posts published on WordPress to Airtable, you can manage post data more efficiently. Especially when multiple team members are involved, everyone can check the latest post information, eliminating unnecessary verification tasks and manual data entry. For example, the marketing team can review the content of new posts and immediately develop strategies based on them. This improves work speed and data accuracy, significantly reducing management workload. For companies struggling with complex information management, this can greatly alleviate their burden.

Benefit 2: Speeding Up Information Sharing Between Teams

With posts on WordPress automatically reflected in Airtable, information sharing between different teams becomes smoother. For instance, when the article creation team publishes a new article on WordPress, the data analysis team can check that information in Airtable. Since reporting or notifying about the article publication becomes unnecessary, the workflow is expected to become smoother. This can improve communication throughout the company and potentially speed up project progress.

How to Create a Workflow for Integrating WordPress and Airtable

Let's actually integrate WordPress and Airtable using Yoom.
The workflow this time is "Add to Airtable when a post is published on WordPress."

Set a Trigger in WordPress
Set Up Record Creation in Airtable

The integration is completed in just two steps. Of course, no programming knowledge is required.
Let's copy the template from the "Try it" banner below.

Step 1: App Integration

First, let's integrate Yoom with WordPress and Airtable.
After logging into Yoom, click "My Apps" on the left menu, then click "+ New Connection".

‍

Search for each app name and fill in the items that appear.
To integrate WordPress, you will need an access token.

It is advisable to integrate with a site that has SSL settings (a site that starts with https://), so proceed while checking several cautionary points.

To obtain the value of the access token, search the web for "Base64 encode obtain" and use the displayed tools.
For more details, please refer to the help page below.

What is Base64 Encoding?

Once the app is integrated, it will appear in the My Apps list.

If Airtable is also displayed similarly, the preparation is complete.

Next, copy the template to My Projects and create a flow bot.
If you haven't copied it yet, please copy the flow bot template from below.

1. Hover over the banner and click "View Details"
2. Click "Try this template" on the redirected page
3. Register for Yoom
* If you have already completed registration, the login screen will be displayed, so please log in.

‍

Step 2: WordPress Settings

First, click "When a post is published".
On the first page, the account information that has been linked in advance is reflected.

If you have not linked yet, you can still link My Apps from this page!

There is no need to change the title or trigger action, so please check the account information and click "Next".

On the next page, set up to "check how often articles are published".
Select the trigger activation interval.

* The trigger activation intervalmay not be selectable depending on the plan, so please be careful.

After setting the interval, click "Test" to obtain the output.

Once confirmed up to this point, click "Save" to complete the WordPress settings.

Step 3: Airtable Settings

Next, click "Create Record".
As with WordPress, check the account information on the first page and proceed to the next step.

On the next page, set the detailed information of the record to be created.

First, enter the items to specify where to create the Airtable record.
You can obtain them from the URL, so complete it by copy & paste.

Next, set the field information.

Set the information to be included in the Airtable record, and enter the necessary items.
Field names are entered manually, and values are selected from the output to match the field names.

If you want to add more information, click "Add Field Information".

After entering the necessary information, click "Test" and if you can obtain the output, it is successful.
(This output will not be used in this flow.)

Finally, click "Save" and turn on the trigger to start the flow.

Now, the information added to WordPress is automatically added to Airtable.

Other Automation Examples Using WordPress and Airtable

There are many other examples of automation using WordPress and Airtable on Yoom, so let me introduce them.

1. By integrating WordPress with Notion, smooth posting becomes possible. You can create articles in Notion and submit them directly to WordPress. This eliminates the need to switch between applications, allowing you to write and edit using Notion, which you regularly use for work, thereby streamlining the article publication process.

2. By utilizing Airtable, you can streamline data collection. With Yoom, you can set up a no-code workflow that integrates with Google Sheets to search and summarize information for specified keywords on Google and consolidate it into a sheet. It seems useful for research before and after article creation.
