Write daily tech news with OpenAI using RSS feeds and WordPress

Who is this for

Tech bloggers, content creators, and site owners who want a fully automated daily news column without writing a single word.

What this workflow does

• A schedule trigger fires daily at 8 AM and pulls articles from four RSS feeds (BBC Tech, The Verge, Ars Technica, TechCrunch).
• All feeds are merged, normalized to a common schema, filtered to the last 24 hours, sorted by date, and capped at 10.
• A Code node compiles the articles into a digest, which is passed to an OpenAI-powered AI agent.
• The agent picks the most newsworthy story (or combines 2–3 related ones), fetches full article text via a custom tool, and writes an original 600–1000 word article.
• The AI output is parsed into a title and HTML body, then posted as a draft to WordPress.

How to set up

1. Add your OpenAI API key under Credentials → OpenAI. The workflow uses gpt-5.1 by default — swap to any chat model in the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
2. Add your WordPress API credentials (site URL, username, and application password).
3. Activate the workflow — it runs daily at 8 AM.

Requirements

• OpenAI account and API key
• WordPress site with application password enabled

How to customize

• Swap or add RSS feed URLs by duplicating an RSS node and connecting it to the Merge node (increase numberInputs accordingly).
• Change the Limit node value to control how many articles the AI reviews.
• Switch the WordPress post status from draft to publish for immediate publishing.
