About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow empowers content creators and developers to publish articles across multiple platforms with a single action. Designed to integrate seamlessly with your preferred CMS (e.g., Strapi) via a webhook, it automatically distributes your content to Medium and Dev.to. When a new post is created or updated in your CMS, this workflow triggers, pulling the article title, content, and tags, then publishes them in markdown format to both platforms in parallel. This ensures consistent content delivery, amplifies your audience reach, and significantly reduces manual cross-posting efforts, allowing you to focus more on creating great content.
