Steps to automate sharing new GhostCMS posts on LinkedIn

Step 1: Copy the GhostCMS + LinkedIn automation template

First things first, you'll need to set up your automation base. Start by copying this template on Activepieces. This nifty automation template triggers when a new post is published on GhostCMS and then shares that post on LinkedIn. Pretty cool, right?

As you copy the template, Activepieces will give you a quick prompt to sign up (if you're not already a user) or login. Once you're in, the template will be duplicated into your account—you can tweak it from there.

Step 2: Understand the GhostCMS + LinkedIn automation structure

Alright, now that you've copied the template, you'll see it as a flow in your Activepieces account. Let's break it down:

The first gizmo in this automation line-up is the trigger—"Post Published". This bad boy springs into action whenever you publish a new post on GhostCMS.

The trigger then fires up the next step—"Create Share Update" on LinkedIn. This means that your freshly baked post gets automatically shared on LinkedIn. No copy-pasting, no toggling between tabs, nada! Talk about a hands-off approach!

Step 3: Configure your GhostCMS + LinkedIn flow

Now that we're all chummy with how this automation works, let's put some skin in the game. Here's how to tailor the steps so they work perfectly for you:

1. Click on "Post Published"—that's the first step of your flow. Check out the settings to make sure it's connected to your GhostCMS account. You want this trigger picking up your posts, not someone else's!

2. Next up, click on "Create Share Update"—the LinkedIn step. Hit "+ New Connection" and follow the simple instructions to link it with your LinkedIn account.

Remember, automation is your buddy here. It's all about making your life easier. So don't sweat, take it slow, and trust the process!
