Workflow name
Automate blog creation from keywords with Dumpling AI, OpenAI, and Google Docs

Who is this for?

This workflow is perfect for content marketers, bloggers, SEO professionals, and virtual assistants who need to transform keyword research into complete blog posts without spending hours writing and formatting.


What problem is this workflow solving?

Writing a blog post from scratch requires research, summarizing content, and structuring it into a polished article. This workflow automates that process by taking a single keyword, fetching related news articles, cleaning the data, and generating a professional blog draft automatically in Google Docs.


What this workflow does

The workflow begins when a keyword is submitted through a form. It expands the keyword into trending suggestions using Dumpling AI Autocomplete, then fetches recent news articles with Dumpling AI Google News. Articles are filtered to only include those published within the last 1–2 days, then scraped and cleaned for quality text. The aggregated content is sent to OpenAI, which generates a polished blog draft with a clear title. Finally, the draft is saved directly into Google Docs for easy editing and publishing.


Nodes Overview

  1. Form Trigger – Form Submission (Keywords)
    Starts the workflow when a keyword is submitted through a form.

  2. HTTP Request – Dumpling AI Autocomplete
    Expands the keyword into multiple trending search suggestions.

  3. Split Out – Split Autocomplete Suggestions
    Breaks the list of autocomplete suggestions into individual items for processing.

  4. Loop – Loop Suggestions
    Iterates through each suggestion to process articles separately.

  5. Wait – Delay Between Requests
    Adds a pause to avoid sending too many requests at once.

  6. HTTP Request – Dumpling AI Google News

  8. Code – Filter Articles (1–2 Days Old)
    Keeps only articles that are between 1 and 2 days old for fresh content.

  9. Limit – Limit Articles
    Restricts the workflow to the top 2 articles for each suggestion.

  10. HTTP Request – Dumpling AI Scraper
    Scrapes and cleans the full text content from the article URLs.

  11. Code – Clean & Prepare Article Content
    Removes clutter like links, images, and unrelated sections to ensure clean input.

  12. Aggregate – Aggregate Articles
    Combines the cleaned article content into one dataset.

  13. OpenAI – Generate Blog Draft
    Uses OpenAI to create a polished blog post draft and title in Markdown format.
