Transform technical content stored in a headless CMS into formatted documentation sites and PDF guides for different audiences like developers and end-users.

Workflow Steps

1

Ghost CMS

Organize content with tags

Structure your technical content in Ghost using specific tags like 'api-docs', 'user-guide', or 'developer-reference' to categorize different documentation types.

2

Zapier

Monitor for new tagged content

Create a Zapier trigger that activates when new posts are published in Ghost with specific documentation tags. Set up filters to process only tagged content.

3

GitBook

Create formatted documentation

Use Zapier to automatically create new pages in GitBook spaces based on the content type. Format the Ghost content into GitBook's markdown structure with proper headings and code blocks.

4

Documint

Generate PDF versions

Automatically create PDF versions of the documentation using Documint's API, applying different templates based on whether it's user-facing or developer documentation.
