Setting up apps and integrations
Bring all your favorite apps and tools along with these nifty integrations.
It's possible to 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, sync your community — our integrations library has got it all 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 are used by creators of all kinds to get apps and integrations up and running in no time — no technical knowledge required.
Core integrations
Ghost comes with a few core integrations to help you create content and promote it to people:
- The native Unsplash integration allows you to browse and insert beautiful imagery into any post or feature image
- A Google AMP integration renders all content on your site to be available in a mobile-ready AMP format
- The FirstPromoter integration makes setting up a referral program, to allow your biggest fans to promote your work for an incentive, entirely possible.
Zapier
Zapier is a no-code tool that allows you to build powerful automations, and our official integration allows you to connect your Ghost site to more than 1,000 external services.

Custom integrations
For more advanced automation, it's possible to create custom Ghost integrations with dedicated API keys from the Integrations page within Ghost Admin.
These custom integrations allow you to use the Ghost API without needing to write code, and create powerful workflows such as sending content from your favorite desktop editor into Ghost as a new draft.
We've now covered all of the most common setup steps that the majority of publishers take to get started with Ghost.
