Add a writing-quality gate before publishing

Marketing content & social · checked 2026-10-16

A small script calls Grammarly’s Writing Score API on every draft before it reaches your CMS; drafts below your threshold go back for edits, and a batch audit queues rewrites of older pages. Grammarly’s APIs need an Enterprise or Education institution-wide license.

Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.

Human approval

An editor makes the final call on every flagged draft.

Keep the human approval step: An editor makes the final call on every flagged draft.

Starter prompt

Goal: Keep quality consistent when more people (and AIs) are writing. Tools involved: Grammarly, ClickUp. Your part: writes the script that sends drafts for scoring; gets a rewrite task for each low-scoring page. Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

Which AI platforms can run it

PlatformStatusWhy
Claude (incl. Claude Code) Confirmed Every MCP and API step is documented for this platform.
OpenAI Codex To verify ClickUp: pairing not named in vendor docs
Google Antigravity Confirmed Every MCP and API step is documented for this platform.
ChatGPT Confirmed Every MCP and API step is documented for this platform.
Gemini To verify Grammarly: code execution to verify (or run it in Make or n8n); ClickUp: pairing not named in vendor docs
Perplexity To verify Grammarly: code execution to verify (or run it in Make or n8n); ClickUp: pairing not named in vendor docs

Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.

What we checked

Grammarly’s Writing Score API takes a document and returns an overall score plus separate scores for engagement, correctness, delivery and clarity. Grammarly suggests uses like “introduction of quality thresholds for texts in business processes”. Only admins with Grammarly Enterprise or Grammarly for Education institution-wide licenses can create API credentials, so this gate isn’t available on individual or small-team plans. ClickUp’s MCP server, on every ClickUp plan, can create the rewrite tasks. An editor still makes the final call on each flagged draft.

Set it up

  1. A Grammarly Enterprise admin creates OAuth 2.0 credentials for the Writing Score API.
  2. Your coding agent writes a small script that uploads each draft, polls for the result and compares the overall score with your threshold. Pick the threshold yourself; Grammarly doesn’t set one.
  3. Run it as a pre-publish check, and in batch over older pages to build a rewrite queue in ClickUp.
