Effortless WordPress Content Automation with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your content publishing by automatically posting articles to WordPress. This workflow fetches content from Airtable, prepares it for publishing, and even sets a featured image.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the entire process of publishing content to WordPress from Airtable. It begins by fetching blog post data marked for posting, filters for valid content, and then processes it. The workflow converts Markdown blog bodies to HTML, retrieves relevant images from Pexels based on keywords, and uploads them to WordPress. Finally, it posts the blog article as a draft and sets the uploaded image as the featured image for enhanced visual appeal. This solution significantly reduces manual effort in content management.
Key Features
- Automated Content Fetching: Pulls blog posts directly from Airtable based on a 'To Post' status.
- Content Transformation: Converts Markdown blog content into HTML for seamless WordPress integration.
- Dynamic Image Sourcing: Fetches relevant images from Pexels using keywords for featured media.
- WordPress Publishing: Automatically creates draft posts in WordPress with titles and content.
- Featured Image Setup: Uploads and assigns the retrieved image as the featured image for each post.
How To Use
- Configure Airtable Node: Connect to your Airtable base and table containing blog posts. Ensure a 'Status' field is used to mark posts as 'To Post'.
- Set up 'Edit Fields' Node: Map incoming JSON fields to ensure 'Title', 'Keyword', and 'Blog Body' are correctly passed.
- Integrate Pexels API: In the 'Get Image' node, use the 'Edit Fields' output for the keyword and ensure your Pexels API key is correctly configured for authorization.
- Configure 'Download the image' Node: Ensure the URL from Pexels is correctly mapped to download the image data.
- WordPress Credentials: Set up your WordPress API credentials in n8n for both the 'Post on Wordpress' and 'Set Featured Image' nodes.
- Connect Nodes: Ensure the workflow logic flows from fetching content to posting and image management as depicted in the workflow diagram.
