Post to Medium from Grok Bot

Grok Bot can publish articles to Medium through the Postiz plugin. Add the plugin to a Bot, store your Postiz API key as a secret, and point it at a draft. The Bot sets the title, subtitle, and tags, adds a canonical URL for cross-posts, picks a publication if you have one, and schedules publishing 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 Medium presence with Postiz.

💻

Own Cloud Computer

Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Medium 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 Medium content without being asked twice.

🛡️

Approvals Built In

Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Medium 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 Medium 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 Medium channel in Postiz

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

How Grok Bot runs Medium on a routine

Your Bot reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Medium 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 Medium account via Postiz, uploads your media, and schedules the post — then asks you to approve before it goes live.

Grok Bot

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

Bot: Got it! Here's the plan:
  1. Find your Medium 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 Medium automatically — no manual trigger needed.

Grok Bot routine

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

Instructions:
  Check ~/content/posts on your cloud
  computer for new .txt files. For

  posted files to ~/content/published
  and send me a summary.

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 Medium, 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 Medium integration, formats your article, applies tags and publication settings, and publishes the post.

Claude Code

> Publish my API design article to Medium
  under the engineering publication with
  a canonical URL back to my blog

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

Cross-post Medium content to other platforms

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

Example

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

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

Example prompts for Medium in Grok Bot

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

Medium rules Grok Bot follows

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

✓Both title and subtitle are required on Medium, each at least 2 characters. Grok Bot takes them from your draft or asks.
✓Medium allows up to 4 tags per article. Extra tags are dropped, so name the four that matter most.
✓Set canonical when the article first appeared on your own blog, so search engines credit the original.
✓publication needs the Medium publication ID. The Bot resolves it with postiz integrations:settings.

Grok Bot and Medium: frequently asked questions

How do I publish to Medium from Grok Bot?

Add the Postiz plugin with /add-plugin postiz and store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret. Point the Bot at a draft. It sets the Medium title, subtitle, tags, and optional canonical URL and publication, then schedules publishing through Postiz. You approve before it goes live.

Can Grok Bot cross-post my blog to Medium with a canonical URL?

Yes. Tell the Bot where the article was first published and it sets the canonical field to that URL. Medium then marks the article as a repost, so search engines attribute the content to your original blog instead of splitting ranking between the two copies.

Can Grok Bot publish under a Medium publication?

Yes. Name the publication and the Bot fetches your publications with postiz integrations:settings, maps the name to its ID, and sets the publication field. If you are not an editor or writer for that publication, Medium rejects the post, so connect the right account in Postiz.

How many tags can Grok Bot add to a Medium article?

Up to four. Medium enforces the limit, so Grok Bot picks the four most relevant tags from your request or the article content. Tags are passed as value and label pairs. If you list more than four, the Bot asks which ones to keep.

Can Grok Bot publish Medium articles on a schedule?

Yes. Save a routine that watches a folder on the Bot's cloud computer and turns new drafts into Medium articles each week. The Bot sets the metadata, schedules through Postiz, and sends you the draft for approval, keeping a human in the loop before publishing.
