About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline the process of publishing content to WordPress by leveraging Google Sheets as a central content repository. The core logic involves reading data from a Google Sheet, processing it, and then using a WordPress node to create or update blog posts.
It solves the problem of manual content entry and management by allowing users to manage their blog content in a familiar spreadsheet format. The workflow can also integrate with Large Language Models (LLMs) via the AgentLLM node to assist in generating or refining post content, based on the instructions and data provided in the Google Sheet.
This template is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, and anyone who needs to publish content regularly and efficiently. By centralizing content in Google Sheets, teams can collaborate more effectively, and the automation ensures consistent and timely publishing to WordPress.
Key Features
- Reads blog post data (title, content, status, etc.) from a specified Google Sheet.
- Configurable WordPress settings (subdomain, username, application password).
- Supports defining actions like 'publish' or 'update' within the Google Sheet.
- Integrates with LLMs (via AgentLLM node) to potentially generate or enhance content based on prompts defined in a separate config sheet.
- Logs actions and outcomes to a dedicated 'Log' sheet.
How To Use
- Configure Google Sheets: Set up your Google Sheet with specific sheets named 'Schedule' for post data and 'Config' for workflow settings. In the 'Schedule' sheet, include columns like 'Title', 'Content', 'Action' (e.g., 'publish', 'update'), and 'Status'. In the 'Config' sheet, define key-value pairs for prompts and model names (e.g.,
prompt_publish,prompt_publish_model). - Set up WordPress Credentials: Ensure you have your WordPress subdomain, username, and an Application Password ready.
- Configure n8n Settings Node: Update the 'Settings' node with your Google Sheet URL, WordPress subdomain, username, application password, and the names of your sheets ('Schedule', 'Config', 'Log'). Define the actions you want to trigger ('publish', 'update').
- Set up LLM Credentials (Optional): If you plan to use the AgentLLM node for content generation, configure your OpenAI API credentials (or equivalent for OpenRouter).
- Map Data and Prompts: In your Google Sheet, use placeholders like
{{Title}}or{{Content}}in your prompts within the 'Config' sheet. The 'PreparedData' node will dynamically populate these. - Activate the Workflow: Trigger the workflow manually or set up the 'ScheduleTrigger' to run at a specific interval.
