What You Can Do with the WordPress API

By leveraging the WordPress API, you can significantly streamline and automate content management. A typical use case is automatically submitting articles to WordPress based on content from external tools. This eliminates the need for manual article creation, allowing data entered into forms or templates to be automatically reflected and published as WordPress articles. For example, you can build a system that automatically posts project progress reports, survey results, or regular news articles based on pre-set templates.

Furthermore, when an article is published on WordPress, its content can be automatically synced to an external database. This facilitates smooth data integration across multiple systems. For instance, every time a blog post is published, its content can be automatically reflected in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) or marketing tools, enabling sales and marketing teams to always have the latest information in real-time. This way, data integration between WordPress and other tools or systems can be easily achieved.

Additionally, when a WordPress article is updated, you can automatically send notifications to specified chat tools. This allows you to immediately notify the entire team of article publications or updates, prompting quick responses when necessary. For example, when news articles or product information are updated, related departments or team members are automatically notified, allowing for smooth responses even in situations where quick feedback or action is required.

By utilizing these features, you can greatly reduce the daily burden of content management, facilitate smooth integration with multiple tools and systems, and achieve operational efficiency.

How to Use the WordPress API

Here, we will explain how to actually use the WordPress API.
By using a service called Yoom, which allows for no-code app integration, you can easily set it up.

From here, we will introduce templates prepared for actual use cases and recommended job types.

Examples of Automation Achievable with WordPress

Automatically Submitting Articles to WordPress

By leveraging the WordPress API, you can automatically submit content entered in Notion or Google Forms as articles to WordPress. This eliminates the need for manual article creation, allowing for efficient content management.

For example, you can build a system that posts survey results or feedback collected via Google Forms directly as articles on WordPress. Data entered into forms can be converted into WordPress post format via API and automatically published. This seamlessly integrates the process from data collection to article creation, significantly reducing time and effort.

Similarly, you can automatically post pages created in Notion to WordPress using the Notion API. You can import content summarized in Notion directly as WordPress posts and customize it by automatically setting tags and categories according to the content.

By integrating external tools with WordPress in this way, you can achieve centralized data management and automation, reducing manual workload and significantly improving operational efficiency.

Automatic Synchronization with Database When Post is Published

By utilizing the WordPress API, you can automatically synchronize the content of a post with an external database every time an article is published. This automatic synchronization allows for consistent data updates across multiple systems and tools, ensuring that information is updated automatically.

For example, when a new article is published on WordPress, the content can be automatically transferred to a CRM (Customer Relationship Management system) or marketing tools. This enables sales and marketing teams to quickly understand the content of the article and take swift action. Additionally, it is possible to synchronize the data of published articles with an external database and integrate it with other applications and services.

Since this synchronization process is automated through the API, there is no need to manually copy and paste data, preventing errors and delays. For instance, as soon as an article is published, the information is reflected in the database in real-time, and various reports and dashboards are updated based on the latest data.

Furthermore, by integrating with other systems and applications within the database, you can automate analysis, customer support, notification systems, and more, reflecting the content of the WordPress site, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.

Automatically Notify Chat Tools When Articles Are Updated

By utilizing the WordPress API, you can automatically send notifications to specified chat tools every time an article is updated. This automatic notification feature allows the entire team to immediately understand the status of article updates, enabling quick responses and efficient information sharing.

For example, you can build a system that automatically notifies chat tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord when a new article is published or an existing article is updated in WordPress. The notification can include the article's title, update date, and link, allowing stakeholders to quickly access the updated content.

This feature streamlines communication within the team and makes the verification process related to content updates more efficient. For instance, the marketing team can quickly become aware of the publication of a new promotional article and promptly share it on social media or notify customers. Additionally, notifying reviewers or the editorial team when an article is updated allows for swift content verification and approval processes.

Moreover, since you can customize the content and recipients of the update notifications, it is possible to notify only specific categories of articles or send notifications only to specific user groups. In this way, automatic notifications using the WordPress API become a powerful tool that enhances team productivity and promotes quick decision-making and action.

s.yamashita
I worked as an SV in the BPO division of a listed company for 4 years and experienced editing and writing media articles for about 3 and a half years. I had the opportunity to use a wide variety of apps due to my job being in charge of outsourced work from other companies. I still remember getting to know Yoom when I was worried about how to improve work efficiency, and I was moved by being able to easily link apps with each other to create an automated flow! I would be happy if I could help improve everyone's work efficiency by making use of my experience working on media articles and conveying the appeal of Yoom in an easy-to-understand manner.
