Everything you need to ship with Pressroom.

Pressroom is a single workspace for planning, drafting, and publishing across all of your WordPress sites. After signing in, the welcome checklist walks you through the five steps below — you can also jump straight in:

1. Connect at least one WordPress site.
2. Connect an AI provider (your own key).
3. Compose your first draft.
4. Schedule or publish it.
5. Invite teammates and set up reviews.

Open Sites from the sidebar and click Add site (or go directly to /sites/new). You'll need:

• The site's full URL (including https://).
• A WordPress username with publish permissions.
• An application password generated from WP Admin → Users → Profile → Application Passwords.

Pressroom verifies the connection by calling the WP REST API. Once green, the site shows up everywhere — Compose, Calendar, Health, Drift, Plugins, Media, etc.

Start from Compose for AI-assisted drafting, or open Content to browse and edit existing drafts. Inside a draft you can:

• Run the SEO analyzer and AI assists (rewrite, expand, summarize).
• Manage taxonomy, featured media, and internal links.
• Browse and restore previous revisions.
• Request a review from a teammate.

From any draft, choose Publish now or Schedule. Use the Calendar to drag drafts onto future dates, and Publishing windows to restrict when each site accepts new posts. The Orchestration view shows the live publishing queue across every connected site.

AI features (composer, SEO, translations) use your own provider key — Pressroom never charges per token. Open AI providers and add either:

• OpenAI-compatible — works with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, Together, and any compatible gateway. Provide a base URL and model id (e.g. gpt-4o-mini).
• Anthropic — provide your Anthropic key and model id (e.g. claude-sonnet-4-5).

Mark one provider as the default. Use Test on the provider card to verify the key and model before relying on it.

Open Translations, pick a source draft, choose target locales, and Pressroom uses your default AI provider to produce translated drafts. Each translation is a new draft you can edit before publishing.

Invite teammates from Team. Roles control who can publish, who can only request reviews, and who can manage billing. Reviewers see pending requests in Reviews; every approval, edit, and publish lands in Audit.

Health runs periodic checks on every connected site (REST reachable, auth valid, plugin versions). Drift highlights posts that were edited directly in WordPress after Pressroom published them, so nothing silently falls out of sync.

All requests to the public API are authenticated with a personal API key. Generate keys from API keys in your workspace. Each key's secret is shown once — store it in your secret manager.

Send the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

curl https://kind-evolve-shine.lovable.app/api/public/v1/drafts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pr_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

List drafts

Returns the authenticated key owner's drafts, most recently updated first.

curl "https://kind-evolve-shine.lovable.app/api/public/v1/drafts?state=published&limit=10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PRESSROOM_KEY"

Example response:

{
  "drafts": [
    {
      "id": "f1c8…",
      "title": "Q3 product update",
      "state": "published",
      "target_status": "publish",
      "site_id": "9a7e…",
      "wp_post_id": 1284,
      "scheduled_at": null,
      "updated_at": "2026-05-12T14:01:33.000Z",
      "created_at": "2026-05-10T09:21:08.000Z"
    }
  ],
  "count": 1
}

Configure webhooks under Webhooks. Pressroom will POST a JSON payload to your URL whenever a subscribed event fires.

Event payload

{
  "event": "draft.published",
  "delivered_at": "2026-05-12T14:02:00.000Z",
  "data": {
    "draft_id": "f1c8…",
    "site_id": "9a7e…",
    "wp_post_id": 1284,
    "link": "https://example.com/q3-update",
    "title": "Q3 product update",
    "status": "publish"
  }
}

Verifying signatures

Each request includes X-Pressroom-Signature in the form sha256=<hex>. Compute HMAC-SHA256 over the raw request body using your webhook secret and compare with a constant-time check.

import { createHmac, timingSafeEqual } from "node:crypto";

export function verify(secret: string, body: string, header: string) {
  const expected = "sha256=" + createHmac("sha256", secret).update(body).digest("hex");
  const a = Buffer.from(expected);
  const b = Buffer.from(header);
  return a.length === b.length && timingSafeEqual(a, b);
}
