SynaPost manages your content workflow inside WordPress instead of stitching together ChatGPT, an SEO plugin, and a scheduler by hand.
Included in SynaPost:
Generation isn’t metered by any internal credit or usage-limit system – connect your own OpenAI key and SynaPost uses it freely; whatever OpenAI bills you is between you and them. The Demo Provider needs no key at all.
Looking for more? SynaPost Pro adds every other AI provider (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, and a self-hosted Ollama model), multiple business profiles for agencies, the Content Repurposer, Content Snippets (standalone FAQ/Product Review/Product Description copy for WooCommerce or any other product plugin), Deep Research, real AI-generated thumbnails, named CTA presets, Slack + Email approval channels, full first-party analytics, custom brand-voice prompts, content gap suggestions, a content refresh workflow, bulk actions, and finer automation scheduling. See the “Upgrade to Pro” page inside the plugin, or visit synapost.ufirstdev.com/pricing/.
SynaPost connects to the following external services. Both are entirely optional – the plugin is fully usable without either one, and no data ever leaves your site unless you’ve deliberately connected your own account.
What it does: Powers the AI Writer, Strategy Planner, and the SEO/quality-review passes SynaPost runs on its own output. In SynaPost Pro specifically (not part of this free plugin’s own code), the same connection also powers Real AI Thumbnails, an image-generation feature.
Why SynaPost uses it: This is the actual content-generation engine behind article writing, topic planning, and self-review – there’s no local/offline model that could do this instead.
What data is sent: Your business profile context (business name, industry, target audience, website, main competitors, target countries, brand voice guidelines, preferred output language, content goals, preferred tone, and words to avoid – no personal data such as names, emails, or phone numbers is included in this context) plus the specific topic, title, or draft content currently being generated or reviewed.
When it’s sent: Either immediately when you click “Generate” or “Regenerate” in wp-admin, or automatically by the daily WP-Cron automation run if you’ve enabled it.
Where it’s sent: https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions for all text generation, and (SynaPost Pro only) https://api.openai.com/v1/images/generations for AI-generated thumbnails.
Configuration required: Yes – your own OpenAI API key, entered under Settings AI & Images. Without a key configured, SynaPost uses its own free, keyless Demo Provider instead, and makes no network request to OpenAI at all.

What it does: Powers the optional Telegram approval workflow – approve, edit, regenerate, or cancel a generated article from your phone, without logging into WordPress.
Why SynaPost uses it: Telegram’s Bot API is the mechanism that lets SynaPost send you a message and receive your button tap back, which is what the approval workflow is built on.
What data is sent: The generated article’s title, category, content type, SEO score, estimated read time, scheduled publish date, and full content (sent as one or more messages), a link to its generated thumbnail image, and whichever approval button you tap in response.
When it’s sent: Automatically the moment an article finishes generation and enters the approval queue, and again each time you tap an approval button (received back via a webhook).
Where it’s sent: https://api.telegram.org
Configuration required: Yes – your own Telegram bot token and chat ID, entered under Settings Approvals. Without these configured, nothing is sent to Telegram; SynaPost’s in-dashboard Approval Center works as a Telegram-free alternative.

SynaPost evaluated the WordPress AI Client as a potential replacement for its direct OpenAI integration. SynaPost’s own multi-provider abstraction (which the free plugin’s OpenAI support and SynaPost Pro’s additional providers both build on) already provides equivalent text/image generation, provider configuration, and error handling across more providers than the WordPress AI Client currently supports, with a dozen established call sites throughout the codebase already depending on its specific contract. Direct integration was retained rather than migrated; all external API usage it powers is fully disclosed above.
