How to connect DEV to Postia

Postia publishes articles to dev.to under your name.

What it takes
Keeps your formatting. No length limit.
How it connects
Paste an API key from your DEV settings.
Plans
On every plan, the free one included.
Crosspost rules
Yes. A crosspost rule can watch it and send what appears there on to your other channels.

Step by step

  1. On DEV open Settings, then Extensions, then DEV Community API Keys.
  2. Give the key a name and generate it.
  3. In Postia press Add account, pick DEV and paste the key.

If something goes wrong, the form shows the network's own answer in words, and nothing is saved until the connection works.

Questions about DEV

Is formatting kept on DEV?

Yes. Your formatting is kept, and there is no length limit.

A post says "Partly failed". What does that mean?

It reached some of its channels and not others. Open the post: every destination is listed with what happened to it, and a failed one carries the network's own error message.

Nothing is retried behind your back. Fix the cause, then send the post again to the channels that missed it.

Other networks

Every network is on every plan, the free one included, and the first 14 days come with all of Studio.
