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:
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.
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.
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

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
Thanks. I need to know how to connect my Wordpress blog (i have the token from the make plugin) to HTTP module. What kind of header connection it is? Bearer + Token or what?
