    I have daily content generated by an API. I use that to generate content for social media apps like for FB and IG.

    Is there a way for me to create Google Web Stories directly via APIs using Zapier/Make?

    the ideal flow i am looking for is:

    1. Everyday morning, at 7AM, new content is generated via 3rd party API and response is sent as JSON
    2. I have 2 or 3 templates created within GWS wordpress plugin already
    3. I want the content to be dynamically inserted into the template and new web stories are published in my wordpress blog

    Is this possible?

    Hi, thanks for reaching out!

    We do not currently provide way to programmatically create stories. If you’re adventurous, you could try to build something yourself, perhaps using some AI assistance from e.g. Gemini. Stories and templates follow a specific JSON schema, the JSON data is stored in the post_content_filtered . So you could try to generate some JSON data that adheres to the schema and use the WordPress REST API to add the content to the database. However, this also requires sending the generated HTML code as well, which can’t be generated server-side, but only in the editor. So you would still need to manually open stories in the editor to publish them.

    Again, we don’t provide a solution for this, so we can’t provide any support for such custom development either.

    Good luck!
