Publish the content calendar for social copy

Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and WordPress, runs the text through an AI chain, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for social copy, around a "Normalize Draft Payload" step, in 22 documented nodes.

Publish the content calendar with Google Sheets and WordPress at scale. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Scheduler' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 22 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, WordPress. 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 22 nodes of this social-copy build
  • 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

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for social copy
  • 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

From download to running in 3 steps

  1. 1
    Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
  2. 2
    Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
  3. 3
    Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.

What you'll learn

Production level

Production-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.

  • Marking rows published only after the post succeeds
  • Moving data between WordPress, 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, 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.
