Hi everyone,
I would like to know if it would be possible to create a zap that would allow an advertising banner (a widget) from an Airtable to appear in my Wordpress articles.
Example: I enter a new product with a promotion in my Airtable. Thanks to the zap, this product appears in some of my Wordpress articles. This could look like this:

Redards,

Hi
Hmm, you can use Zapier to create a post, but you can’t insert a specific piece of text into an existing post (ie you can’t edit a post).
You could use Zapier to add the post and use a step in your Zap to find a relevant record in Airtable, then insert that text into the post. That’s also dependent on the formatting of the add/widget. Are you using markdown/html to create the look of it, or is it a specific widget that WordPress uses?
From what you’ve described it doesn’t sounds like that’s what you’re looking for - am I right?

It would need to be added to the post body because there’s no action to add/create a widget. However, if you know how to code, you can try using a Code step: https://zapier.com/help/create/code-webhooks/use-javascript-code-in-zaps
I hope this helps in pointing you in the right direction! Let us know if you’re able to implement this, and happy Zapping :)
