This workflow turns a Google Sheet into a fully automated content calendar for BlueSky. It handles single posts, multi-post threads, and image attachments, allowing you to manage your entire social presence from a simple spreadsheet.
Who is this for Ideal for social media managers, content creators, and growth marketers who want to schedule content in bulk without using expensive third-party tools.
What it does It runs on a schedule to check your Google Sheet for posts marked "Ready." It automatically handles: Threading: Links posts together if they share a Thread ID and Sequence. Images: Downloads image URLs and uploads them as blobs to BlueSky. Status Updates: Marks rows as "Posted" and saves the live URL back to your sheet.
How to set up 1. Google Sheet: Create a sheet with these columns: Content, Thread ID, Sequence (use '1' for single posts), Image URL, Scheduled Time, Status, Post Link. Important: Even if it is a single post (not a thread), you must add a unique Thread ID. Note: Image URL is optional. Format: Set the "Scheduled Time" column type to Plain Text to prevent date errors. (A sample Google Sheet link is provided inside the workflow notes). 2. Credentials: Enter your BlueSky Handle and App Password in the "Configuration" node. 3. Select Sheet: In both the "Get row(s)" and "Update row" nodes, select your specific Google Sheet.
