Schedule social posts: Slack for newsletters
Runs on a schedule across Slack, PostgreSQL and Google Sheets, runs the text through an AI chain, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for newsletters, around a "Stamp & Shape Draft" step, in 21 documented nodes.
Schedule social posts with PostgreSQL and WordPress. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Scheduler' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 21 nodes across Slack, PostgreSQL, 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and PostgreSQL in step for newsletters, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Slack or PostgreSQL are skipped, across all 21 nodes of this newsletters build
- ✓A failed Slack or PostgreSQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 21 nodes in this newsletters build
- ✓Every newsletters run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
- ✓The newsletters AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 21 nodes
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and PostgreSQL aligned by hand for newsletters
- →Newsletters work where "Stamp & Shape Draft" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Newsletters work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

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.
- •Reading a content calendar and publishing only what is due
- •Marking rows published only after the post succeeds
- •Moving data between PostgreSQL, WordPress and Google Sheets 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 (Slack, PostgreSQL, Google Sheets, 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.
