Integrate Claude with WordPress for Free: No-Code Guide

Most content workflows break at the same point. A topic is submitted, a writer drafts it, an editor reviews it, and someone finally uploads it to WordPress. Each step depends on someone being available, which slows everything down.

In this guide, I will share a sample example of automated blog publishing with Claude and Bit Flows. A form submission will trigger Claude to generate a blog draft, and Bit Flows will send that content to WordPress automatically.

The automation setup can be built for free with Bit Flows, but Claude API usage is billed separately through your Anthropic account.

This is only one example. You can also use Claude inside Bit Flows for content summarization, research analysis, FAQ generation, internal documentation, product descriptions, and many more workflows.

Here, we will focus on one simple use case: generating a blog post from a form submission and publishing it to WordPress as a draft.

How Does the Workflow Work?

Before jumping into the steps, here is the full picture:

A team member or writer fills out a short form with the blog title, key points, and any focus keywords. Bit Flows picks up that submission instantly, sends the structured input to Claude with a prompt you define, receives the generated article back, and creates a new WordPress post with the content, draft, pending review, or published, your choice.

You build this once. After that, it runs on its own every time the form is submitted.

What You Need Before Starting

For this example use cases, you need.

• A WordPress site with admin access
• Bit Flows installed
• A form plugin supported by Bit Flows
• An Anthropic account with Claude API access
• A clear blog brief structure
• A WordPress post status plan, preferably draft or pending review

What Is Bit Flows?

Bit Flows is a no-code WordPress automation plugin that helps you connect WordPress, form builders, AI tools, webhooks, and other apps from one visual workflow builder.

Instead of moving data manually between tools, you can create a flow with triggers and actions. For this guide, Bit Flows will capture a form submission, send the details to Claude, and create a new WordPress draft from the response.

Step 01: Install Bit Flows and Bit Form

Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard → Plugins → Add New Plugin search for Bit Flows → click Install Now → Activate.

Once activated, Bit Flows appears in your left WordPress dashboard menu.

You can use any form plugin supported by Bit Flows as the trigger. For this guide, we are using Bit Form because it is simple to map form inputs into the Claude prompt. You can also install it from the WordPress Repository.

Step 02: Get Your Claude API Key

Go to console.anthropic.com and sign in or create an account.

Navigate to API Keys → click Create Key → copy the key and store it somewhere safe. You will paste it into Bit Flows in Step 05.

Claude’s API charges per token separately for input and output. The cost depends on which model you use. Check Anthropic’s pricing page before estimating your generation cost.  

Step 03: Create Your Topic Input Form

Open the Bit Form from your WordPress dashboard and click Add New Form. Build a short form that collects the exact inputs Claude needs to create a focused blog draft. Add these fields:

Keep the form short and specific. These fields tell Claude what the blog is about, who it is for, what it should achieve, which keywords to follow, and how the content should sound.

Once the fields are added, click Update, and you can publish it on your website. You will map these values into the Claude prompt in the next steps.

Step 04: Create a New Flow in Bit Flows

Open Bit Flows from your WordPress dashboard → click Create New Flow → give it a name (example: Claude Blog Generator).

Set the trigger: Click the trigger node → select Bit Form → choose On Form Submit → select the input form we created in Step 03.

Click Listen Response → go to your form and submit a test entry with sample data. Bit Flows will capture the form fields so you can map them in the next step.

Once the response is captured, Bit Flows will show the submitted values, such as Blog Topic, Primary Keyword, Target Audience, Content Goal, and Tone. If these values appear correctly, your trigger is working and ready for the Claude action.

Step 05: Add the Claude Action and Write Your Prompt

Click the + node after the trigger → click on Apps →  select Claude → choose Create Completion.

Connect your API key: Click Add New Connection → paste your Claude API key → save the connection.

Select your model: Choose the Claude model that fits your use case. Claude Sonnet balances quality and cost well for standard blog content.

Write your prompt: In the Messages section, set the Role to User and write your prompt. Map your form fields into the prompt using Bit Flows’ field mapping.

Here is a working prompt structure you can use and adapt.

Your prompt should clearly tell Claude what to write, who the blog is for, which keywords to use, and what structure to follow. For Example:

You are an expert content writer. Write a complete, well-structured blog post based on the details below.

Topic: [map Blog Title field here]
Keywords: [map Primary Keyword field here]
Content Goal: [map Content Goal]
Tone: [map Tone field here]

Instructions:

Before writing, understand the reader's intent.

If the content goal is:
- Explain a concept → use LEARN intent
- Show step-by-step setup → use SOLVE intent
- Compare tools → use COMPARE intent
- Recommend a solution → use CHOOSE intent

Use the correct funnel and framework:
- LEARN → TOFU → PAS + LEMA
- SOLVE / Tutorial → MOFU → LEMA + FAS
- COMPARE → MOFU → AIDA + FAS + BAB
- CHOOSE → BOFU → CONVERT + AIDA + FAS

Main writing rules:
- Solve one clear problem only.
- Answer the topic early.
- Use the provided keywords naturally.
- Do not keyword-stuff.
- Do not invent statistics, pricing, features, or claims.
- If a claim needs proof, write [Source needed] after the sentence.
- Keep paragraphs short, clear, and easy to scan.
- Write for the selected target audience.
- Match the selected tone.
- Use practical examples where needed.
- Mention tools or products only when they directly help solve the topic.
- Add H2 and H3 headings for structure.
- Include helpful examples.

End with a conclusion"

Enable Show Advanced Feature only if you want to control output length or writing variation. For example, Max Token controls the response length, and Temperature controls how consistent or creative the output feels.

Click Test Run. If Claude returns a blog draft based on your test form input, the Claude action is working correctly.

Step 06: Add the WordPress Publishing Action

Click the + node after the Claude action → go to Apps → select WordPress → choose Create New Post.

Now configure the post using the values from your previous steps.

Configure the action with the following:

• Post Title → map the Blog Topic field from your Bit Form trigger
• Post Type → Posts
• Post Status → Draft for review before publishing, Publish only when you are confident the output is ready to go live.

Choose the WordPress user from the Post Author dropdown. Select a Post Category if you want to keep the generated posts organized. Add Post Tags if you want to label the post by topic, keyword, or content type. For Post Content, map the Claude response/message output from the previous action.

Once the fields are mapped, save the action and run a test submission to confirm that WordPress creates a new post with Claude’s generated content.

In your setup, the Blog Topic field is used as the post title, and Claude’s generated response is used as the post content. After mapping the fields, run the full flow once to confirm that a new WordPress post is created from the Claude response.

Step 07: Test the Full Workflow

Click Test Flow once at the top of the Bit Flows canvas.

Then check two places:

In Bit Flows: Open the flow log and confirm all three nodes, trigger, Claude action, WordPress action, show a success status. If any node shows an error, the log will tell you exactly what went wrong.

In WordPress: Go to Posts and confirm the new post appeared with the correct title and content in the status you selected.

If the content is there but the formatting is off, review your prompt. If the post did not appear at all, check the WordPress action node’s field mapping. 

Real Workflows Where This Saves Time!

A content agency manages blogs for twelve clients. Each client requires two to four posts per week. Writers spend most of their time on first drafts, not strategy or editing.

After building one Claude workflow per client, each with a client-specific prompt and publishing to that client’s WordPress site, the agency uses the form to submit topic briefs in batches. Claude generates first drafts for all of them. Writers focus on editing, fact-checking, and adding client-specific details. Output per writer doubles without adding headcount.

Converting team notes into structured articles

A SaaS team documents processes internally, but notes from team meetings are unstructured and hard to search. Someone has to turn raw notes into readable articles, which no one has time to do consistently.

After connecting the workflow, team members paste their meeting notes into the form’s key points field. Claude structures them into a readable article with headings and a summary. The post publishes to a private WordPress knowledge base automatically. The team’s documentation stays current without a dedicated writer.

The One Thing That Makes This Workflow

The workflow is easy to build, but the prompt decides the quality of the output.

A generic prompt creates generic content. A clear prompt with the right audience, goal, tone, structure, and key points gives you a draft that needs editing, not rewriting.

Start with the sample prompt, run a few test submissions, and refine it based on Claude’s output. Keep the WordPress post status as draft so your team can review facts, formatting, and final quality before publishing.
