MorningAI now publishes blog posts directly to your CMS. Write, edit, and ship long-form content from the same workspace where you build personas, run briefs, and schedule social — no copy-paste, no formatting fixups, no losing the through-line of your campaign.
Why Publish from MorningAI
The traditional blog workflow is fragmented: write in Google Docs, paste into the CMS, fix the formatting, re-add the images, hit publish, and hope nothing broke. With direct publishing:
- The post you wrote in Studio is the post that ships — same headings, same images, same links.
- Featured image, alt text, slug, meta description, and category all transfer.
- Drafts land as drafts. Published posts go live. Scheduled posts publish at their scheduled time.
- Updates flow back: edit in MorningAI, push to CMS again.
Supported CMSes
At launch, direct publishing supports:
- WordPress (self-hosted and WordPress.com Business+ via the REST API).
- Webflow CMS collections.
- Sanity Studio document types.
- Ghost via Admin API.
- Notion as a database.
More integrations are on the roadmap. If yours is not listed, you can still export to Markdown or HTML.
Step-by-Step: Connect Your CMS
- Open Settings → Integrations. Click Connect on your CMS card.
- Authenticate. Provide the API key, OAuth token, or admin URL the integration asks for. Each CMS has step-by-step instructions in the connect flow.
- Map fields. Confirm how MorningAI fields (title, body, featured image, slug, excerpt, category, tags) map to your CMS schema.
- Test publish. Click Send a test post. A draft titled "MorningAI test post" appears in your CMS. Confirm everything looks right, then delete it.
Step-by-Step: Publish a Post
- Open Studio → Blog Posts. Click + New Post or open an existing draft.
- Write or generate. Use Studio's full editor — headings, lists, images, links, code, callouts. Generate sections with AI as needed.
- Set metadata. Title, slug, featured image, excerpt, category, tags. SEO meta title and description are auto-generated and editable.
- Choose target CMS. If you have multiple connected CMSes, pick one from the Publish to dropdown.
- Publish, schedule, or save as draft.
- Publish now — post goes live immediately.
- Schedule — pick a future date and time.
- Save to CMS as draft — the draft appears in your CMS, ready for further review there.
Updating a Published Post
Edit the post in MorningAI as usual. Click Push update. The CMS post updates in place. URL and analytics are preserved.
Pro Tips
Author once, ship everywhere. A blog post in MorningAI can be repurposed into a social swipe, a newsletter section, or a long-form ad — all from the same source draft.
Use Studio's outline mode. Plan the structure first, then drop in sections. Easier to keep a long post on-strategy.
Attach a CustomerDNA persona. Set the persona at the top of the post composer. Tone, examples, and CTAs auto-tune to that persona.
Reuse winning hooks. If a social post killed it, paste the hook into a blog draft and expand. The blog version inherits the proven angle.
Test slug consistency. Different CMSes handle slugs differently. After your first real publish, double-check the URL renders the way you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my CMS theme styles apply? Yes. We publish standard HTML; your CMS theme renders it.
Can I see scheduled posts on a calendar? Yes — Studio → Blog Posts has a calendar view alongside the list view.
Can multiple authors collaborate on a draft? Yes. Standard MorningAI team permissions apply, and the post owner is preserved when published.
What happens to images on publish? Images upload to your CMS's media library on publish. Alt text and captions transfer.
Does MorningAI store published post analytics? Not directly today. We surface CMS analytics where the integration supports it.
Next Steps
Connect your CMS in Settings → Integrations and run a test publish. Then draft your next blog post in Studio and push it live. To brainstorm angles before drafting, see How to Brainstorm Promotional Ideas Using Chat.
