This is an actual Quill export, with the input brief available alongside it. Use the workflow below to connect source material, structure, editing and delivery.

Pre-Launch Checklist for a New Business Website

Checklist items grouped by phase, each with a priority tag and a way to check it, with links to Google, W3C and FTC guidance for the search, accessibility and security items.

Inspect the source brief or data

Write an actionable checklist for a small business about to launch a new website. Group the items under content, search visibility, accessibility, performance, security and privacy, analytics, and what to verify on launch day. Each item should be a single action someone can tick off and should say how to check it. Cite published guidance for the search, accessibility and security items.

Read the sample review notes

Open the full export and compare its statements with the cited sources before reuse.

Bring useful inputs

Set the reader, purpose, required points, sources and section budgets. Review extracted material from an upload, paste or URL before using it as grounding.

Shape and refine

Review the outline, then the draft. Add structured blocks, edit selected passages and use Image Studio for permitted generation, photo selection and responsive insertion; retain attribution where required.

Choose the delivery path

Review citations, wording and metadata. Use the supported export or connected destination for the current account; Markdown handoff and a live publishing connection are different delivery paths.

Selected-text editing and structured blocks

Power Edit starts from an active selection. You can give iterative or voice-transcribed instructions, choose a reply language, stop a streamed response, inspect the result and explicitly replace the selected range. Full-document context is reference material. Structured blocks have typed fields, item-level regeneration and previews; their AI field assistance is separate from their layout.

Image Studio and image revision

Use builder or advanced prompts with the subject and document context. Shape style, mood, lighting, palette, composition, camera and supported image dimensions. Inspect generated alternatives or a selected real photo, retain required source attribution and edit alternative text before insertion. Finishes and prompt edits create a new result; compare it with the original instead of assuming an edit is lossless.

Import, export and delivery settings

Import options depend on the source type: pasted text, Markdown or HTML; document extraction; spreadsheet cells; image OCR; and supported media transcription. Review extracted material before drafting. Export settings include the supported format, theme, author, spacing, headers, footers and page appearance. Inspect the actual download because HTML, print PDF and editable Word represent structure differently.

A source-led draft needs human review. HTML, PDF and editable Word have different layout fidelity; connected publishing support is destination-specific.

Publish with full control

Gixo connects to Ghost through the Admin API and sends article HTML, tags, meta descriptions and image links. Review the receiving draft before publishing; Ghost’s editor import and theme control the result.

Ghost Admin API

Connect an eligible Ghost site with its Admin API key. Gixo signs requests on your behalf and checks connection ownership. Protect the key because it is a write credential for the site.

HTML Import

Gixo sends article HTML to the Ghost Admin API’s HTML import path, where Ghost converts it to its editor representation. Theme styling, unsupported markup and imported elements can change the result. Inspect the destination draft, including images and any structured data, before publishing.

Tag Management

Set article tags in Gixo and send their names with the post. Check the assigned tags and their organization in Ghost before publication.

Linked Featured Image

Gixo sends the selected featured image as an absolute image URL and preserves inline image links. The first article image is selected by default; you can choose another before publishing. Image files are not uploaded to Ghost.

Meta Descriptions

Set the meta description sent to Ghost. Gixo does not send a custom excerpt; review search and sharing previews on your Ghost site.

Scheduled Publishing

The Gixo article publishing form offers Save draft or Publish now for Ghost. To publish later, send a draft and schedule it in Ghost. The separate delivery API accepts scheduled Ghost posts; account access and publication controls still apply.

How It Works

Four steps from Ghost setup to a published or scheduled post.

1
Create a Ghost Custom Integration

On an eligible Ghost site, create a custom integration and copy its Admin API key. Treat the key as a write credential and store it securely.

2
Connect in Gixo

Enter your Ghost site URL and Admin API key in Gixo settings. The connection test checks authenticated access to site information. Send a test draft to confirm post creation before publishing live.

3
Generate Content

Create articles, guides, or blog posts using Gixo's AI content tools. Edit inline, add images, and set tags and a meta description before sending to Ghost.

4
Publish or Schedule

Send a draft to Ghost for review or publish now from the Gixo article form. To publish later, schedule the draft inside Ghost. The separate delivery API supports scheduled Ghost posts. Ghost imports the HTML into its editor representation; inspect images, structure and theme styling before publication.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a Ghost custom integration for Gixo?
In your Ghost admin panel, go to Settings, then Integrations, and click Add custom integration. Name it Gixo and Ghost will generate an Admin API key. Copy this key and your Ghost site URL into Gixo settings to complete the connection.
Does Gixo work with Ghost Pro and self-hosted Ghost?
Use a Ghost site that exposes the Admin API and permits custom integrations. Confirm the hosting plan, version and site configuration allow this access before connecting.
Is HTML content preserved in the Ghost editor?
Gixo sends article HTML to the Ghost Admin API’s HTML import path, where Ghost converts it to its editor representation. Theme styling, unsupported markup and imported elements can change the result. Inspect the destination draft, including images and any structured data, before publishing.
Can I schedule posts through the Gixo integration?
The Gixo article publishing form offers Save draft or Publish now for Ghost. To publish later, send a draft and schedule it in Ghost. The separate delivery API accepts scheduled Ghost posts; account access and publication controls still apply.
How are featured images sent to Ghost?
Gixo sends the selected image as an absolute URL for Ghost's featured image and keeps inline image links in the article HTML. The first article image is selected by default; you can choose another before publishing. Gixo does not upload image files to Ghost. Check the published post because your Ghost theme controls the final display.
Does the integration support Ghost newsletters?
Gixo sends posts rather than newsletter recipients or send instructions. Check and configure any newsletter distribution inside Ghost before publishing.
