(A.K.A.) How to use .CSV & .XML files to publish your texts
Different options
- Live feed – Setup a live feed of approved tasks in Google Sheets
- .txt file – Downloading approved tasks 1-by-1
- .csv file – Downloading approved tasks to a spreadsheet program
- .xml file – Download a ready file to import into your website
Setup a live feed in Google Sheets
This is the preferred method if you are regularly updating tasks on your website and there are multiple publishers / you are not the publisher.
- Login to Wordapp.io. From the navigation menu, go to your Projects.
- In the project list, find the project from which you have tasks that you want to get the publish-ready content.
- Copy the URL of the CSV file (see images below)
- Open this Google Spreadsheet Template, duplicate it and follow the instructions
Download a .txt file
Great if you want to download individual files
Tip: Move the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets (all settings like UTF-8 will be recognised automatically -aka no scrambled letters-). Alternatively use a plain-text editor.
- Login to Wordapp.io. From the navigation menu, go to your Projects.
- In the project list, find the project from which you have tasks that you want to get the publish-ready content.
- Click on the project name to see a list of all task keywords
- Click on the .txt link. And the file will be downloaded to your computer.
Download a .csv file
For the Excel guru’s you can easily download your file in .csv format.
Tip: Move the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets (all settings like UTF-8 will be recognised automatically, which they are not in Excel).
- Login to Wordapp.io. From the navigation menu, go to your Projects.
- In the project list, find the project from which you have tasks that you want to get the publish-ready content.
- Click on the download .CSV icon. And the file will be downloaded to your computer.
Download a .xml file
The preferred way for big (e-commerce) sites with (some) IT support to allow for very fast publishing.
- Login to Wordapp.io. From the navigation menu, go to your Projects.
- In the project list, find the project from which you have tasks that you want to get the publish-ready content.
- Click on the download .XML icon (see image below). And the file will be downloaded to your computer.
Open, publish and enjoy..
