Generate blog drafts: MySQL + AI agent
Runs on a schedule across MySQL, Slack and Google Sheets, hands the decision to an AI agent with its own tools, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for cross-posting, around a "Stamp & Shape Post" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Generate blog drafts with MySQL and Slack automatically for Cross-Posting. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' 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
- ✓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
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 22 nodes for cross-posting before wiring MySQL
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Slack aligned by hand for cross-posting
- →Cross-posting work that needs a judgement call per item before it reaches MySQL
- →Cross-posting work where "Stamp & Shape Post" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Cross-posting work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

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.
Agent tools included (2)
An AI Agent is only as capable as the tools wired into it. These are read from the template's own graph — every one is a real node in the file you download.
- Draft Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow
- Research Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow
This agent runs without conversation memory - each run starts from the incoming request.
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.
- •Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
- •Publishing as a draft so a human stays the final gate
- •Moving data between MySQL, Google Sheets and Slack 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 (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.
