Publishing to Multiple WordPress Sites with Make with the same module

How To
1

Hello Make Community,

I am currently facing a challenge that I hope some of you might be able to help me with. I’m trying to streamline my workflow on Make to publish posts to multiple WordPress sites. Typically, Make uses a dedicated module that connects to WordPress via a plugin, which in turn provides a token for a unique connection. This setup works well for a single site but becomes cumbersome when dealing with multiple sites within the same scenario due to the unique nature of each connection.

Here’s what I need help with:

  1. How can I set up post publishing to WordPress using a standard HTTP request within my scenario? This approach would bypass the need for unique connections per site.
  2. Alternatively, is there a way to modify the existing WordPress module or perhaps create a new one where the connections can change dynamically based on a database of sites that I set up?

Any guidance on setting up either a direct HTTP approach or a way to handle multiple variable connections within Make would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance.

Each Wordpress installation has its own private base API endpoint. You can use that with the HTTP “Make a request” module.

If the external service has a Developer API Reference/Documentation then you should be able to integrate the endpoints in Make using the app’s universal module (Make an API call) or generic HTTP “Make a request” module.

If you need assistance in setting up the generic HTTP module, please provide additional information about what you have tried with regards to the external service’s Developer API Reference – how you are setting the connection up, a link to the endpoint are you trying to connect to, and what errors you are encountering.

You can also complete this brand new course/tutorial in the Make Academy on how to use external APIs — API calls with HTTP modules

  • API and Endpoints
  • Header and body
  • Multipart/form-data
  • OAuth 2.0

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
