Overview

Automate your social media content pipeline from idea to scheduled post. This workflow reads content ideas from a Google Sheet, uses OpenAI to generate platform-optimized posts for LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Facebook, then schedules them via Buffer โ€” all with Slack notifications and error tracking.

Key features:

  • Multi-platform optimization: Tailors content length, tone, and hashtags for each social network.
  • Automated scheduling: Direct integration with Buffer for hands-off publishing.
  • Robust error handling: Updates your sheet with failure logs and alerts Slack if something goes wrong.
  • Batch processing: Handles multiple content rows in a single execution.

What's next:

  • Add human-in-the-loop verification before publishing.
  • Add multiple data sources (e.g., Reddit, Medium).
