  • Email Notification: Sends an email containing the article's title and URL.​

Update Notion Database: Updates the corresponding entry in the Notion database with the article details.​

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

  • WordPress account with API access.​
  • API key for the AI model used.​
  • Notion integration with the relevant database ID.​
  • Credentials for the email service used (e.g., Gmail).​

Community Node Requirement: This workflow utilizes the n8n-nodes-mcp community node, which is only compatible with self-hosted instances of n8n. For more information on installing and managing community nodes, refer to the n8n documentation.​ n8n Docs

Steps

  1. Import the workflow into your self-hosted n8n instance.​
  2. Install the required community node (n8n-nodes-mcp).​
  3. Configure API credentials for WordPress, the AI service, Notion, and the email service.​
  4. Define necessary variables, such as the notification email address and Notion database IDs.​
  5. Activate the workflow to automate the process.​

How to Customize This Workflow

  • AI Prompt: Adjust the prompt used for content generation to align with your preferred tone and style.​
  • Article Structure: Modify the structure of the generated article by tweaking settings in the content generation node.​
  • Notifications: Customize the content and recipients of the emails sent post-publication.​
  • Notion Updates: Tailor the fields updated in Notion to suit your specific requirements.
