Post to Dev.to from Grok Bot

Grok Bot can publish developer articles to Dev.to through the Postiz plugin. Add the plugin to a Bot, store your Postiz API key as a secret, and give it a Markdown draft. The Bot sets the title, uploads a cover image, adds tags and a canonical URL, posts under your organization if you ask, and schedules it in Postiz.

What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.

Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your Dev.to presence with Postiz.

💻

Own Cloud Computer

Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Dev.to posts go out even when your laptop is closed.

🔁

Routines

Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on Dev.to content without being asked twice.

🛡️

Approvals Built In

Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Dev.to posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.

How Postiz Works with Grok Bot

Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your Dev.to workflow on its own.

✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Grok Bot

# 1. Add the plugin to your Bot
/add-plugin postiz

# 2. Store your Postiz API key
#    as a secret when prompted

# 3. Ask your Bot to verify
You: Find my Dev.to channel in Postiz

Bot: Running postiz integrations:list
  Found your Dev.to integration.
  All Postiz commands are ready.

How Grok Bot runs Dev.to on a routine

Your Bot reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Dev.to integration, and handles the entire posting workflow — from content creation to scheduling — on its own cloud computer.

🧠

Message Your Bot

Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Send a message to your Bot from the desktop app or your iPhone. It runs on its own cloud computer, so it picks up your message, discovers your Dev.to account via Postiz, uploads your media, and schedules the post — then asks you to approve before it goes live.

Grok Bot

You: Post to Dev.to about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
  at 9am

Bot: Got it! Here's the plan:
  1. Find your Dev.to integration
  2. Compose your post content
  3. Schedule for tomorrow 9:00 AM

  Done! Post scheduled successfully.
  Post ID: abc-123

🧠

Routines

Recurring work on a schedule

Save the task as a routine. Your Bot runs it on a schedule from the cloud, checks for new content, and posts it to Dev.to automatically — no manual trigger needed.

Grok Bot routine

Routine: daily-devto-posts
Schedule: Weekdays at 9:00 AM

Instructions:
  Check ~/content/posts on your cloud
  computer for new .txt files. For
  each one, read the content and
  schedule a post to Dev.to for
  today at noon via Postiz. Move
  posted files to ~/content/published
  and send me a summary.

Why Grok Bot + Postiz for Dev.to

Grok Bot makes Postiz a natural fit for your Dev.to workflow. The Bot reads the plugin's skill, chains the right commands together, and keeps running from the cloud.

✓Official plugin — one command install from the marketplace
✓Always on — posts to Dev.to from the cloud while you are away
✓Terminal access runs Postiz commands directly on the Bot's computer
✓Routines for hands-free daily posting
✓Cross-post to Dev.to + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before publishing

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code. See the Claude Code guide for Dev.to, the guide for any AI agent, or connect over the Postiz MCP server.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Dev.to integration, uploads your cover image, applies tags and organization settings, and publishes the article.

Claude Code

> Publish my React tutorial to Dev.to
  under our org with a cover image,
  tag it with react and webdev

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Dev.to for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Cross-post Dev.to content to other platforms

Publish the same article to Dev.to and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> Post "Excited to announce our new feature!" to
  Dev.to and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on Dev.to every weekday at 10am

Grok Bot: Done! Scheduled:
  - Dev.to + LinkedIn: tomorrow 9:00 AM
  - Daily tips on Dev.to: Mon-Fri 10:00 AM

Example prompts for Dev.to in Grok Bot

These are prompts you can paste into a Bot chat. Grok Bot maps each one to the matching Postiz commands and Dev.to settings, then asks for approval.

Article with cover image and tags

Grok Bot chat

> Publish ./posts/agent-cli.md to Dev.to with
  ~/covers/agent-cli.png as the cover, tags
  ai, cli, programming, devops, tomorrow 9am

Dev.to rules Grok Bot follows

Grok Bot reads the Dev.to rules from postiz integrations:settings before scheduling. These are the ones that most often change what gets published.

✓title is required and must be at least 2 characters. Dev.to renders Markdown, so your draft's formatting carries over.
✓Dev.to allows up to 4 tags. Grok Bot passes them as value and label pairs and drops extras.
✓Cover images (main_image) must be uploaded through postiz upload first; the Bot then passes the id and path.
✓organization needs the Dev.to organization ID and your account must be a member. The Bot resolves it with postiz integrations:settings.

Grok Bot and Dev.to: frequently asked questions

How do I publish to Dev.to from Grok Bot?

Add the Postiz plugin with /add-plugin postiz and store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret. Give the Bot a Markdown draft. It sets the title, uploads a cover image, adds up to four tags and an optional canonical URL, and schedules the article through Postiz. You approve before publishing.

Can Grok Bot post under my Dev.to organization?

Yes. Say "post under our organization" and the Bot fetches your organizations with postiz integrations:settings, then sets the organization field to the matching ID. Your Dev.to account must already be a member of that organization or Dev.to rejects the article.

Can Grok Bot add a cover image to Dev.to articles?

Yes. Point the Bot at an image and it uploads it through postiz upload, then sets main_image with the returned id and path. Dev.to shows it at the top of the article and in feeds. Raw paths and external URLs are not accepted by Postiz.

Does Dev.to keep my Markdown formatting when Grok Bot publishes?

Yes. Dev.to renders Markdown, so headings, code blocks, and links from your draft carry over. Grok Bot passes the body as written and only adds the metadata fields such as title, tags, and canonical. Review the preview in Postiz before approving.

Can Grok Bot cross-post to Dev.to, Hashnode, and Medium together?

Yes. Ask for all three in one request and the Bot sets the platform-specific fields for each, including the canonical URL pointing to your original article. Each platform gets its own tags and cover image, and all three appear in your Postiz calendar.
