Send a weekly AI‑written WordPress blog digest via Gmail using GPT-4o

Who is this for

This template is built for small business owners, content marketers, and agencies who publish regularly to a WordPress blog and want to automatically surface that content as a polished weekly email digest — without manual curation or copywriting. If you have a WordPress site, an OpenAI API key, and a Gmail account, you can have this running in under 30 minutes.

What it does

The workflow runs every Monday morning and fully automates your newsletter pipeline: it fetches your latest blog posts, uses GPT-4o to write professional summaries, renders everything into a responsive branded HTML email, then delivers it to every subscriber on your list.

How it works

A Schedule Trigger fires once a week (Monday at 10 AM by default) to kick off the pipeline.

Fetch WP Posts calls the WordPress REST API to retrieve posts published in the last 7 days, requesting up to 20 results with embedded featured media in a single request — no separate media lookups needed.

Process Posts is a Code node that normalizes the raw WordPress API response into clean article objects. It extracts titles, excerpts, URLs, featured image URLs, categories, and publish dates; strips HTML tags and decodes entities; de-duplicates by URL; and returns the top 12 articles sorted newest-first.
