    Publish to Medium

    Add an HTTP Request node POSTing to https://api.medium.com/v1/users/{userId}/posts. Set canonicalUrl to the WordPress URL so search engines credit the original.

Frequently asked questions

Will Medium hurt my SEO with duplicate content?

No — setting the canonicalUrl tells search engines your WordPress post is the original, so it keeps the ranking value.

Can I add a footer promoting my newsletter?

Yes. Append custom HTML to the content before sending it to Medium to include a call-to-action or subscribe link.
