Auto-post the content calendar: MySQL
Runs on a schedule across MySQL, Slack and Google Sheets, runs the text through an AI chain, then writes the result out as a file. Built for cross-posting, around a "Normalize Post Payload" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Auto-post the content calendar with MySQL and WordPress without manual work for Cross-Posting. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Scheduler' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 22 nodes across MySQL, Slack, Google Sheets. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. The result is a hands-off process that just works.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps MySQL and Slack in step for cross-posting, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed MySQL or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 nodes in this cross-posting build
- ✓Every cross-posting run leaves an audit row behind, alongside MySQL
- ✓The cross-posting AI step is isolated from MySQL, so models swap without touching the other 22 nodes
- ✓Fans the same result out to Google Sheets in the same run, for cross-posting
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Slack aligned by hand for cross-posting
- →Cross-posting work where "Normalize Post Payload" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Cross-posting work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (22 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (22 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Marking rows published only after the post succeeds
- •Moving data between WordPress, Google Sheets and MySQL in a single run
- •Normalising timestamps before anything downstream compares them
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (MySQL, Slack, Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API, …). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
