How this works

Code Ghost empowers developers and content creators to effortlessly extract and organise blog posts from Ghost sites into Google Sheets, saving hours of manual copying and formatting. Ideal for those maintaining content libraries or analysing publishing trends, it leverages an AI agent with OpenAI's chat model to intelligently parse and clean HTML content from selected posts. The key step involves the extraction node that pulls full post details directly from Ghost, ensuring accurate data transfer without errors.

Use this workflow when you need to automate regular imports of Ghost blog content for reporting or archiving, especially with event-driven triggers for real-time updates. Avoid it for non-HTML sources or if your Ghost setup lacks API access, as it relies on structured extraction. Common variations include adding filters for specific tags or integrating with email notifications for new post alerts.
