Desk-Net

Are you using the editorial calendar software Desk-Net to plan your stories and to manage your editorial department? This plugin connects your Desk-Net account to one or multiple WordPress sites. Your story lists and related meta-data such as statuses are synced both ways between the two systems. Two main use-cases are supported:

• Planned content: A post is planned and enriched with meta-data in Desk-Net. Based on this Desk-Net automatically creates a post in WordPress. Subsequent changes in either system are synced instantly.
• Breaking news: A story originates as a post in WordPress. The plugin sends relevant data to Desk-Net ensuring the story lists are complete.

The following meta-data is synced:

• Slug and description
• Publishing date and time
• Statuses
• Categories
• Author emails
• URLs of either system
• The plugin supports the Gutenberg editor.

Please note that you need to have an account in Desk-Net to make use of the plugin. You are working for an editorial or content marketing team of 15 or more users? Learn more about Desk-Net and request your free test account on the Desk-Net website. Desk-Net has recently changed its name to Kordiam. A new version of the plugin under the Name of Kordiam is currently under review by WordPress. Therefore, this version will no longer be updated. If you want to use the WordPress integration of Kordiam, please look for the Kordiam plugin.
