Directify
Publish articles into a Directify directory's blog and the inner pages from your topical map as Directify custom pages, through Directify's API.
How it works
Directify turns spreadsheets into browsable directory websites, each with its own blog. With the integration connected, clicking Publish creates the article in your chosen directory via Directify's Articles API — it goes live there immediately.
Connect Directify
- In your Directify dashboard, generate a personal access token under Settings → API (see the Directify docs).
- In your blogr.ai dashboard, open Setup → Publishing, choose Directify, and paste the token.
- Save — we verify the token with Directify. If your account has one directory it's selected automatically; otherwise pick which directory articles should publish into.
A website publishes to one destination, so connecting Directify replaces any other integration on the website.
What gets published
Each published article is created in the directory with everything blogr.ai prepared:
- The title, slug, and the article body as Markdown — Directify renders it into your directory's blog design.
- YouTube videos are converted to Directify's ::: @iframe ::: embed directive so they play inline, and the FAQ section's questions and answers are wrapped in their ::: faq ::: blocks so the directory renders them as structured FAQs.
- The SEO block: page title, meta description, and the target keyword.
- The generated social share image, used as the article thumbnail and as the Open Graph and Twitter image.
- The article is created active with its publish date set, so it appears on the directory right away.
- Inner pages from your topical map (pricing, comparisons, services, locations) are created as Directify custom pages — published at once, unlisted from the navigation, with the SEO title and description filled in. Directify pages are flat, so the map path becomes one slug: /pricing/ lands at /pricing and /compare/acme-alternatives/ at /compare-acme-alternatives.
Directify's response tells us where the article lives, and that URL is recorded on the article in your workspace.
Failed deliveries and retries
If Directify rejects a publish — an expired token, a deleted directory, a rate limit — the article is marked "Failed to publish" in your workspace with the specific reason on the row. Fix the cause (or reconnect the integration in Setup → Publishing) and click Retry publish.
Good to know
- Publishing an article again (Publish again on a published article) updates the existing article in the directory instead of creating a duplicate.
- Your token is stored encrypted and is never shown again after saving — paste a new one anytime to rotate it.
- You can switch the target directory anytime by reopening the Directify setup and picking another.
- Directify's own terms and API limits apply to content pushed through the connection.
