Devto Integration

Features

  • Canonical Safety: We automatically inject canonical_url pointing to your primary blog.
  • Organization Support: Publish to your personal profile OR your Company Blog.
  • Series Sync: Group articles into Dev.to Series.
  • Tag Mapping: We map your metadata to Dev.to's maximum of 4 tags.

1. Setup

  1. Go to Dev.to Settings > Extensions.
  2. Scroll to "DEV Community API Keys".
  3. Generate a new key named "Texavor".
  4. Copy the key.

2. Connect in Texavor

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations.
  2. Click Connect on the Dev.to card.
  3. Paste your API Key.
  4. (Optional) Organization ID: If you want to publish under a company brand (e.g. "Stripe Developers"), enter your Org ID here. If left blank, it defaults to your personal profile.

3. Publishing Workflow

When you click Deploy:

  1. Select [x] Dev.to.
  2. Cover Image: We upload your thumbnail to dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com.
  3. Draft vs Public: You can choose to push as a "Draft" (so you can preview it on Dev.to first) or "Public" (live immediately).

FAQ

Q: Does this hurt my SEO? A: No. Because we set the canonical link to your site, Google attributes 100% of the authority to you. Dev.to is simply a distribution channel.

Q: Can I update the post later? A: Yes. If you edit the article in Texavor and click Deploy again, we update the existing Dev.to post instead of creating a duplicate.
