Help and onboarding
Vistrify documentation
A single guide for new users: from account setup to fully automated publishing.
1. Quick start (10 minutes)
- Create your account and verify your email address.
- Add your site in Sites and set your target market (country + language).
- Generate keywords, create drafts, and review the content.
- Connect publishing (WordPress or API), then schedule dates in Calendar.
2. WordPress integration (easiest)
Use this option if your blog is running on WordPress.
- In WordPress go to Users -> Profile -> Application Passwords and create a new app password.
- In Vistrify: Integrations -> WordPress.
- Fill fields: wp_url (site URL), wp_username (WP user), wp_app_password (application password).
- Click Save WordPress, then publish one test draft from Drafts -> Publish to WordPress.
If successful, the article will appear immediately as a WordPress post.
3. Custom API / Webhook integration
Use this when you are not on WordPress or you publish to a custom CMS.
- Create an API endpoint that accepts POST requests.
- In Vistrify set webhook_url (full endpoint URL) and optionally api_key.
- Save the connection and test publishing on one draft.
Request format sent by Vistrify
POST /your-endpoint
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <api_key> // only if api_key is set
{
"title": "Article title",
"body": "# Markdown content",
"format": "markdown"
}Minimum endpoint response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{ "ok": true }4. How auto-publishing works
- In Calendar, drag keywords to dates or use Auto-schedule.
- A daily cron job generates and publishes scheduled posts.
- If publishing fails, the draft is still generated and waits for manual Publish.
5. Common errors and quick fixes
- 401 / 403: invalid credentials (WP app password or API token).
- 404: wrong webhook URL or missing endpoint.
- 502: Vistrify cannot reach your endpoint or your endpoint returned an error.
- "No connection configured": no publish connection saved for the active site.
- Post not visible: your endpoint accepts data but does not store/publish it in your CMS.
