How it works
Connect Ghost with an Admin API key from Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → Add custom integration, plus your site's root URL. No OAuth redirect, no app review — paste the key once and DM IQ can publish directly to your publication.
Add a custom integration in Ghost Admin, copy the Admin API key, and paste it into DM IQ along with your site URL.
Draft the article in DM IQ's composer and drop it on the calendar up to two years out, in the same view as your other 18 channels.
DM IQ pushes the post to Ghost's Admin API at the scheduled time — no manual publish step, no missed windows.
Why it's different
Competitors route Ghost through a two-tool Zapier-plus-scheduler workaround. DM IQ connects to Ghost's Admin API directly, so publishing is one step, not a chain of automations that can break.
Plan the Ghost post announcing a launch next to the Instagram, LinkedIn, and Bluesky posts promoting it — all in the same drag-and-drop calendar.
No developer required. If you can generate an Admin API key, you can connect Ghost — the same low-friction setup as every other DM IQ channel.
Pair it with the full social media scheduler for Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn, or see all 19 supported channels on the 19-platform scheduler page.
FAQ
Yes. DM IQ connects to Ghost's Admin API directly using an API key you generate in Ghost Admin — there's no Zapier step or second tool in between. Most "Ghost automation" content online routes through Zapier plus a separate scheduler; DM IQ skips that entirely.
Your Ghost site's root URL and an Admin API key, which you generate in Ghost Admin under Settings → Integrations → Add custom integration. No coding and no Ghost admin access beyond your own account.
Yes. Ghost sits in the same calendar as Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, and DM IQ's 13 other channels, so a blog post and the social posts promoting it can be planned in one sitting, up to two years ahead.
DM IQ schedules and publishes Ghost posts through the Admin API. For newsletter-specific scheduling, DM IQ separately supports beehiiv and Kit as dedicated newsletter channels.
