WordPress Publishing on Autopilot
Drop a Google Doc in a Drive folder and it publishes to WordPress automatically — no admin login required. Or blast hundreds of posts across multiple sites from a single Google Sheet to supercharge your programmatic SEO.
Two Ways to Automate
Choose the one that fits how you work — or use both at the same time
Drive Automation
Share a Google Drive folder with Tenwrite. Every Google Doc you place in that folder gets published to your WordPress site — automatically, every hour. Edit the doc and the live post updates too.
Best for
- Content marketing teams logging out of WP Admin
- Ongoing editorial calendars
- Writers managing posts natively from Drive
Sheet Automation
Each row in a Google Sheet becomes a WordPress post. Set the title, content, categories, tags, and target site — all in the spreadsheet. One sheet can publish to multiple different WordPress sites simultaneously.
Best for
- Programmatic SEO at scale (pSEO)
- Agency multi-site content operations
- Publishing hundreds of posts in batch
Drive Automation
Drop it in Drive.
It publishes itself.
Share a single Google Drive folder with Tenwrite's service account. From that moment on, any Google Doc you add to that folder is automatically published to your target WordPress site within the hour.
Updated the post? Edit the Google Doc. Tenwrite detects the change on the next run, updates the text, re-uploads images smoothly, and syncs everything back to the live WordPress post.
Create a folder in Google Drive
Any folder works — new or existing.
Share it with Tenwrite
Add automation@tenwrite-gcp.iam.gserviceaccount.com as Viewer.
Create the automation in Tenwrite
Paste the folder URL, pick your connected WordPress target, and you're done.
Drop Google Docs into the folder
Tenwrite checks every hour and publishes anything new or changed.
Set post metadata
inside the doc itself
When automation runs in the background, there's no export form to fill in. Frontmatter solves this: add a simple 2-column table at the top of your Google Doc and Tenwrite reads it as WordPress settings — title, categories, tags, slugs, scheduled date, and more.
The table is stripped from the published block HTML automatically. Your readers never see it. You control your exact WordPress taxonomy from Google Docs.
Works with both automations
Frontmatter is picked up by Drive Automation and Sheet Automation alike. If a frontmatter table is present, it overrides any sheet column values too.
Sheet Automation
One spreadsheet.
Unlimited WordPress sites.
Sheet Automation turns a Google Sheet into a content control center. Each row is a post. Each row can link to a distinct WordPress site. Content can come from a Google Doc URL or be written directly in the sheet — Markdown is fully supported.
This is how power users run programmatic SEO campaigns and multi-client PBNs. Populate the sheet, let automation execute hourly, and watch hundreds of posts go live across the internet — without touching a single WordPress dashboard.
What a row can define
Designed for speed & scale
New rows create new posts. Changed rows selectively sync the update. Unchanged rows are intelligently skipped so your sites stay perfectly unburdened.
Which automation is right for your WordPress workflow?
Both run hourly, both support Frontmatter — the difference is in how you manage your content
| Drive Automation | Sheet Automation | |
|---|---|---|
| Content source | Google Docs in a Drive folder | Google Doc URLs or text in the sheet |
| Metadata control | Frontmatter in the doc | Sheet columns + optional Frontmatter |
| Multi-blog | One folder → one WordPress site | One sheet → multiple WordPress sites |
| Best scale | Tens of posts | Hundreds of posts |
| Complexity | Very simple to set up | Moderate — sheet columns to configure |
| For content type | Long-form editorial content | Templated or programmatic content |
| Runs every | Hour | Hour |
