To send a capture to Micro.blog, open Capture Settings, choose Export, and add Micro.blog as a destination. On micro.blog, open Account > App tokens, generate a token, and paste it into Capture; it is required before the destination can be saved or used. Choose Published or Draft, and enter a blog address only if your account has more than one blog. Text and phone captures become the post content. Links are posted as a Markdown link with the fetched page title, or as the bare URL when no title is cached. Micro.blog is offered as a destination for Text, Links and Images captures.

Example: a quick capture to Micro.blog
Paste your app token, set Status to Draft and Categories to “links”. Exporting a URL saves a draft post with a Markdown link to the page, ready to edit on Micro.blog.
Send the capture
- Open an existing Capture and choose its configured Micro.blog export action.
- Capture sends the supported type directly to Micro.blog and shows a success toast when the API request completes.
Limits and troubleshooting
Limits
- Files other than images are unsupported.
- An image export posts only the photo; Capture adds no caption text.
- The integration calls the API and does not open a Micro.blog app.
- Capture does not validate the blog address or check that categories exist.
Troubleshooting
- If Capture rejects the destination, paste a nonblank app token.
- If the export fails, generate a new app token and paste it again.
- If the post appears on the wrong blog, enter the exact address of the blog you want.
