MBX Flow is social publishing for brands and artists: one place to write, schedule and publish to your social accounts. This plugin connects a WordPress site to your workspace, and works both ways.

Share new articles. When an article is published, its title, excerpt, link, image (the featured image, or else the first image in the article) and tags go to MBX Flow, which writes a social post and schedules it to the accounts you chose: right away, or at the time MBX Flow picks. Each article’s editor has an MBX Flow box to change the accounts and timing for that one, or to keep it off the networks.
Publish from MBX Flow. A post you send to your WordPress account from MBX Flow becomes an entry on this blog, with its first line as the title, its image as the featured image and its hashtags as tags. You choose whether it is published or left as a draft for you, in which category, and under which author.

Connecting takes one code. In MBX Flow you press Get a connect code; you paste it here and press Connect, then approve the site in MBX Flow with Connect this site. There is no address to copy and no password to type, and the code works once. The site and MBX Flow hold two keys, one per direction; of the one MBX Flow uses to reach the site, the site keeps only a fingerprint. Those keys reach only the plugin’s own endpoints: MBX Flow cannot log in to this site or read anything else.

You need an MBX Flow account to use it: https://mbxflow.com/

External services

This plugin talks to your MBX Flow workspace, the social publishing service operated by MediaBoxEnt Technologies. When you connect, it sends the connect code to https://mbxflow.com/api/wp-connect, which answers with the address of the workspace that issued the code, and nothing else; it then asks that workspace which connection versions it supports, and sends it the code with the site’s address, the address of the plugin’s REST endpoints, the site’s name and the WordPress and plugin versions. Until the connection is approved in MBX Flow, the plugin page asks the workspace every few seconds whether it was approved, sending only the site’s key. For each article you share, it sends that article’s title, excerpt, link, image address (the featured image, or else the first image in the article) and tags, with the accounts and timing you chose. It reads back the list of accounts connected in your workspace (names and networks only). Nothing is sent for an article you do not share. When MBX Flow publishes to this site, the request comes from your workspace to this plugin’s endpoint, carrying the entry’s title, body, image address and tags. When keys are renewed in MBX Flow, the workspace sends the site a new key and the site asks the workspace for its own new one. When you disconnect or cancel a connection here, the plugin tells the workspace so, sending only the site’s key.
