Hi there,

I’m trying to setup Zapier to post my Ghost publications to Medium.

Everything is working perfectly, except that my Ghost featured image, is not displayed on the Medium Story. Instead I’m having a blank image. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Here are a couple of print screens:

In Zapier configuration:

Output in Medium:

Thanks in advance for your help !

Hi @henri228 

The expected format for the Content section is HTML.

You’ll need to wrap the image URL in an IMG tag: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

Also, make sure the image is publicly accessible.

You can check this by opening the image URL in a new private browser to see if it renders.
