AI-powered news monitoring & social post generator with OpenAI and Upload-Post


This automation template turns any RSS feed into ready-to-publish social content using AI. It continuously ingests articles, scores their quality and relevance, crafts platform-native posts (Twitter/X threads and LinkedIn posts), routes items for review or archiving, logs everything to Google Sheets, and can publish automatically to X, Threads, and LinkedIn.

Note: This workflow uses OpenAI models for analysis and content generation and integrates with Upload-Post for multi-platform publishing and Google Sheets for tracking. Costs depend on token usage and posting volume.

Who Is This For? - Content Teams & Solo Creators: Ship consistent, high-signal posts without manual rewriting. - Newsletters & Media Brands: Turn breaking stories into shareable, platform-native content. - Agencies: Scale curation across clients with review and auto-publish paths. - Founders & PMMs: Maintain a steady public presence with minimal effort.

What Problem Does This Workflow Solve? Manual curation and rewriting of news is slow and inconsistent. This workflow: - Scores Articles: Filters noise with AI quality/relevance scoring. - Auto-Writes Posts: Generates concise X threads and business-ready LinkedIn copy. - Routes Intelligently: Sends good items to publish/review and archives the rest. - Logs Everything: Keeps a structured history in Google Sheets for analytics.

How It Works 1. RSS Polling: Monitors your chosen feed(s) on a schedule. 2. Scoring AI: Rates quality and relevance; extracts summary, key topics, and angle. 3. Parse & Enrich: Normalizes AI output and merges with article metadata. 4. Quality Gates: Directs items to “publish/review” or “archive.” 5. Content Generation: Produces an X thread and a LinkedIn post with clear hooks and insights. 6. Publishing: Uploads to X, Threads, and LinkedIn via Upload-Post (optional). 7. Sheets Logging: Writes summaries, scores, and outputs to Google Sheets.

Setup 1. OpenAI API: Add your OpenAI credentials (models like gpt-4.1/gpt-4o). 2. Upload-Post Credentials: Connect the Upload-Post integration and target pages (e.g., LinkedIn org ID). 3. Google Sheets: Add OAuth credentials and point “Store Content”/“New for Review”/“Archive” to your sheets. 4. RSS Feed URL: Replace the sample feed with your preferred sources. 5. Thresholds & Routing: Adjust quality/relevance filters to your standards. 6. Publishing Mode: Toggle platforms (X, Threads, LinkedIn) and decide auto vs. review-first.

Requirements - Accounts: n8n, OpenAI, Upload-Post, Google account (Sheets). - API Keys: OpenAI token, Upload-Post credentials, Google Sheets OAuth. - Feeds: One or more RSS URLs for your niche.
