The Finish Line
OK, we can see the home stretch now, and let’s be honest, I need to get this written because between you and me, all four have been built and tested and are in production, but I think it might be weird to have posts from the automated workflow posting before I finish posting the build notes.
The Simplest Build Yet
This was by far the easiest of the builds. Connecting n8n to WordPress is easy; there is a native connector in n8n. It pushes the complete draft, title, body, excerpt, and tags straight to WordPress as a draft post. The biggest learnings from this workflow have been what a WordPress post actually needs. In addition to the main body of the text, I need a title, an excerpt, and tags. All of which AI can provide and all of which I can review.
One Last Manual Step
The final step is to log in to WordPress and schedule the drafts sent to it by Workflow 4. It is possible to have WordPress simply post them as they come, but the final manual step lets me control the flow of posts. I know what I have approved, what is coming, etc. so I can adjust the posts based upon that, rather than the cadence of the workflows. To learn how to schedule posts for WordPress, here is a video, not by me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_tI3XUM-wA
And We’re Live
So now the agent is up and running. I am sure that as the agent runs, I’ll have edits, but for now, I am just excited to see what happens, and I am happy to have come out the other side having learned more than I expected while building this.
