Workflow name
Orchestrate iterative content drafting with research, writer and reviewer flows

Quick overview

This webhook-based orchestrator runs a research–write–review content pipeline by calling three n8n subworkflows and looping revisions until a quality score threshold is met or the maximum revision count is reached.

How it works

  1. Receives a POST request on a webhook with a content topic, brief, and optional quality and revision settings.
  2. Normalizes the request into a single pipeline state object, including a request ID, quality threshold, and revision counters.
  3. Calls a Research subworkflow to generate background notes and attaches the results to the pipeline state.
  4. Calls a Writer subworkflow to produce a draft (or revise the previous draft using reviewer feedback on subsequent iterations).
  5. Calls a Reviewer subworkflow to score the draft and return issues and revision notes.
  6. Compares the reviewer’s overall score to the quality threshold and either loops back for another revision or finalizes the output when approved or max revisions is reached.
  7. Returns a JSON response to the webhook caller containing the final draft, scores, issues, revision count, and pass/fail status.

Setup

  1. Import and save the Research, Writer, and Reviewer subworkflows, then select them in the three Execute Workflow steps so the orchestrator can call them.
  2. Configure the LLM/chat model credentials inside each subworkflow (Research, Writer, and Reviewer) so they can generate and judge content.
  3. Copy the webhook URL and configure your client to POST JSON including topic and brief (optionally qualityThreshold and maxRevisions) to start the pipeline.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15994/15994.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
