Question 1

How do I publish WordPress posts from a Google Sheet?

Accepted Answer

Use the Google Sheets New Row trigger or a Read step to pull rows, then wire each into a WordPress Create Post step. Map the title, content, and category columns to the corresponding WordPress fields so every row becomes a post.

Question 2

Can I write the published URL back to the sheet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After WordPress Create Post returns the post link, use a Google Sheets Write or Append step to record it in the row. Match on a unique key column so the URL lands next to the right entry.

Question 3

How do I bulk-publish without creating duplicates?

Accepted Answer

Add a status column in the sheet and only process rows that are not yet marked published. After WordPress Create Post succeeds, update that cell so a re-run skips rows that already have a post.

Question 4

Can I log WordPress comments into a spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

Run a WordPress List Comments step on a schedule and feed new comments into a Google Sheets Append step. Each comment becomes a row with its author, post ID, and text for easy review and reporting.

Question 5

How do I update existing posts from sheet edits?

Accepted Answer

Store the WordPress post ID in a sheet column when you first publish. On later runs, read that column and route rows with an ID into a WordPress Update Post step instead of Create Post.
