Author and Publish Blog Posts From Google Sheets

What it is:

• An automation to plan→draft→finalize and publish your textual blog post ideas to your wordpress blog
• Works in stages and hand back control to you in between those
• You can use a Google Spreadsheet for planning topics and configuring LLM models and prompts

What it does:

• plans→drafts→finalizes blog post topics you specify in a Google Spreadsheet using an LLM with prompts that also ar configured in that spreadsheet (even which model to use)
• savs the results in the corresponding columns of the "Schedule" sheet in the spreadsheet
• hands control back to the user for inspecting or changing the results and for setting the next "Action" for th workflow
• Finally publishes the blog post to your Wordpress instance

Limitations

• Probably slightly over-engineered ;-)
• No media generation yet
• some LLM models don't work because of their output format

How it works:

• The Workflow is triggered manually or scheduled every hour
• It ingests a Google Spreadsheet to get
  • Config for prompts/context tc
  • Blog-Topics and their status and next action
• Depending on each blog topics "Status" and "Action" it then either uses an LLM for th next action ("plan"→"draft"→"final" actions) or publishes the written content to your Wordpress instance ("publish" actions)

Set up steps:

• Import the workflow
• Make your own copy of the Google Spreadsheet
• Update the credentials using your individual credentials for:
  • Google Spreadsheets
  • OpenRouter
• Edit the "Settings" node and enter your individual values for
  • Your spreadsheet copy URL
  • Your wordpress blog URL
  • Your wordpress blog username
  • Your wordpress blog app password (a 4x4 alphanumeric sequence), that you probably have to create first, for which your wordpress user has to have 2-factor-authentication enabled.
• In your own copy of the spreadsheet:
  • individualize the "Config" sheet's "Value" column for the prompts/context/etc
  • Populate the "Schedule" sheet with at least one line in which you specify
    • a "Topic"
    • a "Schedulded" date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss)
    • a "Status" of "idea"
    • an "Action" of "plan" (to kick off that action)
