Setting up apps and integrations
Connect all your favorite apps and tools using intelligent integrations.
You can extend your Ghost site and connect it with hundreds of the most popular apps and tools using integrations.
Whether you need to automatically publish new posts on social media, connect your favorite analytics tool, or sync your community — our integrations library has you covered.
Many integrations are as simple as inserting an embed by pasting a link, or copying a snippet of code directly from an app and pasting it into Ghost. Our integration tutorials help creators of all kinds get apps and integrations up and running quickly — no technical knowledge required!
Core integrations
Ghost comes with a few core integrations to help you create and promote content:
- The native Unsplash integration allows you to browse and insert beautiful imagery into any post or feature image.
- Our Google AMP integration renders all content on your site to be available in a mobile-ready AMP format.
- Use the FirstPromoter integration to set up a referral program so your biggest fans can promote your work for an incentive.

Custom integrations
For more advanced automation, custom Ghost integrations with dedicated API keys can be created from the Integrations page within Ghost Admin.
No coding skills? No problem. These custom integrations allow you to use the Ghost API to create powerful workflows, such as sending content from your favorite desktop editor into Ghost as a new draft without writing any code.
