Produce social posts: Slack for social copy
Runs on a schedule across Slack and MySQL, hands the decision to an AI agent with its own tools. Built for social copy, around a "Frame the Assignment" step, in 11 documented nodes.
Produce social posts with MySQL and Slack and log the results. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 11 nodes across 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 Slack and MySQL in step for social copy, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 11 nodes in this social-copy build
- ✓The social-copy AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 11 nodes
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 11 nodes for social copy before wiring Slack
- ✓11 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for social copy
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and MySQL aligned by hand for social copy
- →Social copy work that needs a judgement call per item before it reaches Slack
- →Social copy work where "Frame the Assignment" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Social copy work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What's inside (11 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 (3)
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
- Review 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
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
- •Moving data between MySQL and Slack in a single run
- •Adding retries and an explicit error path to external calls
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, MySQL). 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.
