Generate social posts: Google Sheets, Slack & MySQL
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and MySQL, runs the text through an AI chain, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for social copy, around a "Stamp & Shape Draft" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Generate social posts with MySQL and WordPress 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 22 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
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 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 22 nodes
- ✓Fans the same result out to MySQL in the same run, for social copy
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for social copy
- →Social copy work where "Stamp & Shape Draft" 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 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 Google Sheets, WordPress and MySQL 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 (Google Sheets, Slack, MySQL, WordPress). 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.
