Content

Publish a supplied article to a Medium publication.

[Use in Open Flow](https://console.openflow.run/flows?importUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Foomol-lab%2Fawesome-workflow-templates%2F9018120e802d4de0a097610157c565df858c0871%2Fworkflows%2Fpublish-a-post-to-a-medium-publication%2Ftemplates%2Fpublish-a-post-to-a-medium-publication.openflow.json)

![Publish a Post to a Medium Publication workflow in Open Flow](https://openflow.run/_astro/preview-light.DOmHFcIU_fVldF.webp)

Publish a supplied article to a Medium publication.

## Setup and use

[Medium no longer issues new API integration tokens or permits new integrations](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/213480228-API-Importing); existing tokens continue to work. An existing token with permission to publish to the chosen publication is required. The API is no longer supported.

In Open Flow, enter the publication ID, title, article content and `markdown` or `html` format in **Prepare the article**. Bind the existing token to secret Variable **MEDIUM\_API\_TOKEN** in **Publish the article**. In n8n, configure the Medium credential and enter the same fields in **Medium**. The title and content are initially empty.

## Behavior

A manual run submits one article to the selected publication. The source omits publish status, so Medium defaults to **public**. Publication editors can publish publicly. Writers can only submit drafts and need an editor’s approval; change the request’s publishStatus to draft in Open Flow or the Medium node’s additional fields in n8n. The post title must also appear in the content if it should appear on the article page. The workflow sends no tags and returns Medium’s response. An uncertain request may already have created a post; check the publication before retrying.

## Changes to the source

*   Open Flow validates required fields and confirms a returned post ID. Medium’s original API and public default are preserved.
