Generate blog drafts for social copy
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and MySQL, hands the decision to an AI agent with its own tools, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for social copy, around a "Normalize Draft Payload" step, in 31 documented nodes.
Generate blog drafts with MySQL and Google Sheets hands-free. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 31 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, MySQL. 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 Google Sheets and Slack in step for social copy, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Slack are skipped, across all 31 nodes of this social-copy build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 31 nodes in this social-copy build
- ✓Every social-copy run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Google Sheets
- ✓The social-copy AI step is isolated from Google Sheets, so models swap without touching the other 31 nodes
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for social copy
- →Social copy work that needs a judgement call per item before it reaches Google Sheets
- →Social copy work where "Normalize Draft Payload" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Social copy work that only reaches Google Sheets on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What's inside (31 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
Architect levelThe deepest tier - sub-workflow delegation, state snapshots, and full observability.
- •Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
- •Moving data between MySQL, Google Sheets and Slack 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 (Google Sheets, Slack, MySQL, 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.
