Whalesync Status Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Whalesync keeps WordPress in two-way, real-time sync with the tools your team already works in: Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Postgres, Supabase, Webflow and more. Edit a row in Airtable and the post updates in WordPress, or the other way around.
Teams use it to:
- Run the blog from Notion or Airtable, with the whole team editing in a database instead of wp-admin.
- Bulk-edit titles, categories, excerpts, and custom fields in a spreadsheet and push them back.
- Build programmatic pages from a database, with a new row becoming a new post.
- Keep a live copy of posts, pages, and custom post types in a database for reporting.

What this plugin adds
The sync itself runs at app.whalesync.com, through the WordPress REST API and an application password. This plugin brings the sync’s status into WordPress, so nobody edits a synced post without knowing where its content comes from:
- A “Whalesync status” column in your post lists, for every post type the sync covers. Each synced post shows what happened to it last: “Updated from Airtable · 5 minutes ago”, “Synced to Notion · just now”, “Needs attention”, “Delete awaiting review”. Click it to open the record’s status page in Whalesync.
- A banner on a synced post’s edit screen, in both the block editor and the classic editor, that says the post is kept in sync and what it did last, links to its record status in Whalesync, and has a Sync now button that asks Whalesync to fetch the post again right away.
- A sync overview on Settings Whalesync Status: the connected sync, whether it’s active, how many issues and deletes are waiting, and when it last synced.

Privacy and external services
This plugin connects to Whalesync, a paid service with a free trial. A Whalesync account is required.
How it connects. Click Connect with Whalesync on Settings Whalesync Status. A Whalesync tab opens where you sign in and pick the sync that uses this site. Whalesync then issues the plugin a key limited to that one sync. The key can read the sync’s status and ask Whalesync to sync a post again; it cannot change your sync, your content, or anything else in your account. The plugin stores the key on this site. Anyone who can administer the site can use it to see sync status, and you can revoke it from Whalesync at any time under Settings API keys, or with the Disconnect button.
What it sends. Only after you connect, and only this: the ids of the posts whose status is being shown, so Whalesync can answer with each one’s status. The plugin never sends post content; Whalesync reads and writes content through the WordPress REST API with the application password you gave it when you set up the sync, exactly as it does without the plugin. Connecting sends your site’s address and name so Whalesync can find the matching sync.
The plugin talks to api.whalesync.com and opens app.whalesync.com. Whalesync’s privacy policy and terms of service apply to the Whalesync account you connect.
