Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • A Skayle account (sign up here)
  • Access to your CMS (if connecting to WordPress, Sanity, Webflow, or Contentful)

Step 1: Create Your Organization

After signing up, you’ll be prompted to create or join an organization. Organizations are the central hub for all your content, team members, and integrations.
Each organization can only have one CMS connection active at a time. Choose the CMS that best fits your publishing workflow.

Step 2: Connect Your CMS

Navigate to Settings → Connectors to set up your CMS connection.
  1. Enter your WordPress site URL
  2. Create an Application Password in WordPress (Users → Your Profile → Application Passwords)
  3. Enter your WordPress username and the generated Application Password
  4. Click Test Connection to verify

Step 3: Sync Your Taxonomies

After connecting your CMS, sync your existing taxonomies:
  1. Go to Settings → Connectors
  2. Click Sync from CMS to import categories, tags, and authors
  3. Or click Sync to CMS to push Skayle taxonomies to your CMS
Taxonomy sync is non-destructive. Skayle will never delete taxonomies from your CMS or from Skayle during sync operations.

Step 4: Create Your First Batch

  1. Navigate to Content → Batches
  2. Click New Batch
  3. Enter your keywords or topics (one per line)
  4. Configure generation settings:
    • Article type (standard, listicle, feature announcement)
    • Tone and style
    • Target word count
    • Image preferences
  5. Click Generate

Step 5: Review and Publish

  1. Open your batch in the Batch Editor
  2. Review generated articles
  3. Make any necessary edits
  4. Assign authors, categories, and tags
  5. Set publish dates
  6. Click Approve to queue for publishing
Articles with a publish date in the past or present will be automatically published to your CMS within 5-15 minutes.
