A: Hi @osumo,

Currently, we don’t have a WordPress plugin, but you can use our API to automate your flow.

Could you please clarify your use case? We would love to discuss it internally and consider adding it to our roadmap ❤️

I am looking at the same thing. IDK that it would need to be a plugin, could probably just use webhooks and api. But the "Featured Image" in WP is the default image for a post/blog. Think of something like a "Youtube Thumbnail" but for articles. Can we set up a template to automate pics when a new blog is published the image has text and an image related to the post title/content, etc?

A: Hi @ade0, We have 2 solutions for you:

1 - Using Our Sync API:
- The sync API returns both buffer and json response. You can use buffer to save the image to your local storage or use the json response to display the image directly on your website.

With the Sync API, there's no need to set up a webhook. Checkout the sample codes https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#post-image-from-template

2 - Using Magic Links (Under development):
You will be able to use our magic links to create a new image for each blog post using your pre-defined template.

The magic link structure will look like this:
- `https://render.markupgo.com/magic/<YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID>.png?title=<YOUR_TITLE>&description=<YOUR_DESCRIPTION>...`

With this URL structure, you can serve the image directly from our server without making any API calls.

Under the hood, we perform the same operations as the API, but you won't need to set up a webhook or make an API call. This URL will generate the image once when it is accessed for the first time. After that, the image will be cached on our server.

If integrated with Activepieces and Albato, the automation tools that were popular with APPSUMO, it would be easy to implement into WordPress.
