Automate SEO title & description updates for WordPress with Yoast SEO API

This workflow automates the update of Yoast SEO metadata for a specific post or product on a WordPress or WooCommerce site.

It sends a POST request to a custom API endpoint exposed by the Yoast SEO API Manager plugin, allowing for programmatic changes to the SEO title and meta description.
