1.1 Workflow description

Title
Scrape blog articles into AI-generated LinkedIn posts with GPT-4o & human review
Workflow name
Scrape blog articles into AI-generated LinkedIn posts with GPT-4o & human review

Auto-detect news from n8n and turn into a human-approved LinkedIn post. gotoHuman is used to keep a human in the loop. There you can manually edit the AI draft of the post or request to regenerate it.

How it works

  1. The workflow is triggered each day to fetch the latest version of https://blog.n8n.io.
  2. It then fetches each article, checks if it was published in the last 24 hours and uses an LLM to summarize it.
  3. An LLM then drafts a related LinkedIn post which is sent to gotoHuman for approval. In gotoHuman, the reviewer can manually edit it or ask to regenerate it with the option to even edit the prompt (Retries loop back to the AI Draft LinkedIn Post node)
  4. Approved Posts are automatically published to LinkedIn

How to set up

  1. Most importantly, install the gotoHuman node before importing this template! (Just add the node to a blank canvas before importing)
  2. Set up your credentials for gotoHuman, OpenAI, and LinkedIn
  3. In gotoHuman, select and create the pre-built review template "Blog scraper agent" or import the ID: sMxevC9tSAgdfWsr6XIW
  4. Select this template in the gotoHuman node

Requirements

You need accounts for

  • gotoHuman (human supervision)
  • OpenAI (summary, draft)
  • LinkedIn

How to customize

  • Change the blog URL to monitor. Adapt to its' HTML structure
  • Provide the AI Draft LinkedIn Post with examples of previous posts so it picks up your writing style (consider adding gotoHuman's dataset of approved examples)
  • Use the workflow to target other publications, like your newsletter, blog or other socials
