Can Distinctful send or change anything in Ghost?

Distinctful only makes read requests to Ghost. Ghost’s Admin API keys cannot be limited to reading, so the key you create could allow more; you can delete the custom integration in Ghost at any time to cut off access.

Which Ghost plans work?

Any Ghost site that supports custom integrations, including self-hosted Ghost. Distinctful works alongside Ghost and never sends your newsletter.

Does it count toward my plan?

Yes. A connected Ghost newsletter counts as one publication, and its members count toward your plan’s subscriber limit, the same as beehiiv or Kit.

Ghost

Keep publishing from Ghost while your members and editions sit beside your posts, and turn each edition into posts.

What connects

Ghost in Distinctful

Ghost stays your publication and your sender. Distinctful connects with a custom integration key, makes only read requests, and brings your members and the editions you have sent beside the social posts, offers, and deals you run in Distinctful.

The editions you have already sent

Frequently asked
questions

Your members and the editions you have sent from the newsletter you connect. Per-send opens and clicks and each reader’s engagement history are not available through this connection; those come from beehiiv and Kit, which report them.
