  1. 1

    Detect New WordPress Posts

    Add a WordPress Trigger node (or poll the REST API /wp-json/wp/v2/posts) to catch newly published posts.

  2. 2

    Fetch the Full Content

    Add an HTTP Request to retrieve the post's HTML body, title and featured image so you have everything Medium needs.

  3. 3

    Publish to Medium

    Add an HTTP Request node POSTing to https://api.medium.com/v1/users/{userId}/posts. Set canonicalUrl to the WordPress URL so search engines credit the original.

  4. 4

    Log the Cross-Post

    Add a Google Sheets node recording the WordPress and Medium URLs so you can track what's been mirrored and avoid duplicates.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow and publish a test WordPress post. Confirm it appears on Medium with the canonical link pointing back to your site.

Frequently asked questions

Will Medium hurt my SEO with duplicate content?

No — setting the canonicalUrl tells search engines your WordPress post is the original, so it keeps the ranking value.

Can I add a footer promoting my newsletter?

Yes. Append custom HTML to the content before sending it to Medium to include a call-to-action or subscribe link.
