Manual Publishing Integration

Manual Publishing allows Adaptify to publish articles to your website without using an API or plugin. Instead of automated syncing, our editing team logs in as an editor and publishes content directly for you. We suggest using this publishing method if you use Wix, Squarespace or any other platform that does not have an API.

This is a reliable, high quality fallback when automated integrations are not possible or practical.

Overview

Manual Publishing is ideal when:

• Your CMS does not support API publishing
• Your site has security restrictions that block integrations
• You do not have plugin access
• You want human review before publishing
• Shopify integration is temporarily unavailable
• You are using Squarespace or Wix
• You prefer maximum reliability over speed

Manual Publishing is a premium human-reviewed service. Every article is reviewed and posted by a real person.

This adds an extra layer of quality control and ensures publishing works even in complex environments.

How Manual Publishing Works

1. You submit access details through the Manual Publishing form
2. Our team receives the request in a publishing queue
3. We log into your site as an editor
4. Articles are posted manually
5. If something is broken or unclear, we contact you

Publishing may take longer than automated integrations, especially for large batches. In most SEO workflows, this delay is negligible.

Submitting a Manual Publishing Request

To enable manual publishing:

1. Go to One-Click Publishing
2. Select your platform
3. Choose Manual Publishing
4. Fill out the form

The form requires:

Login URL

The direct login page to your CMS editor.

Example:

https://example.com/content

Screenshot of Invitation

Upload a screenshot showing that you invited Adaptify as an editor.

This helps us verify access quickly.

Author Name

The name that should appear on published articles.

This must match the editor account you created.

Notes (optional)

Add any special instructions:

• category preferences
• formatting rules
• internal publishing steps
• staging vs live site details

Share With Customer Link

Agencies can send the form directly to clients.

The Share With Customer link opens a white-labeled version of the same form. Your branding is shown instead of Adaptify’s.

This removes back-and-forth emails and allows clients to submit access themselves.

Use this when:

• You do not control the website
• Your client manages hosting
• You want faster onboarding

Tracking Request Status

Manual publishing requests are visible in the admin queue.

You can confirm:

• whether a request was received
• whether access is pending
• whether publishing is active

If your integration is stuck, you will see a pending status inside your dashboard.

You can reset the request at any time and submit a new one.

Publishing Speed Expectations

Manual publishing is highly reliable, but slower than API publishing.

Typical timelines:

• Single articles: same day
• Small batches: same day or next day
• Large batches (30+ articles): up to 1–2 days

For SEO, this timing is still extremely fast relative to indexing cycles.

Benefits of Manual Publishing

• Works with any CMS
• No plugin required
• Human review prevents obvious errors
• Handles unusual website setups
• More reliable than API in locked-down environments
• Ideal for agencies without admin access

When to Switch Back to Automated Integration

You can upgrade to automated publishing anytime.

If plugin or API access becomes available:

1. Reset integration
2. Choose your CMS again
3. Enable automated setup

Your existing content workflow continues normally.

Troubleshooting

Request not appearing

Resubmit the form and confirm the screenshot uploaded successfully.

Articles not publishing

Check dashboard status. If pending, access may still be under review.

Login not working

Verify credentials and editor permissions.

We require Contributor or Editor access at minimum.
