Draft social posts with Slack
Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Airtable, summarises long text with an AI chain, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for cross-posting, around a "Pull Fresh Items (API)" step, in 23 documented nodes.
Draft social posts with Airtable and Slack hands-free. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 23 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API. 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for cross-posting, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Slack or Google Sheets are skipped, across all 23 nodes of this cross-posting build
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 23 nodes in this cross-posting build
- ✓Every cross-posting run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
- ✓The cross-posting AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 23 nodes
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for cross-posting
- →Cross-posting work where "Pull Fresh Items (API)" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Cross-posting work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
- •Converting markdown to HTML for delivery
- •Moving data between Slack, Google Sheets and Airtable in a single run
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 (Slack, Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API, Airtable). 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.
