Overview
Automate your entire LinkedIn content machine — from research and image generation to scheduling and posting — with this AI-powered workflow.
This workflow pulls in past content ideas, researches new ones using Perplexity, generates a new post (with image) using your brand's voice and style, saves the output to Google Sheets, and auto-posts twice a week to LinkedIn. It’s perfect for founders, creators, and marketers who want to stay consistent on LinkedIn without manually writing or designing every post.
Who’s it for
- Solo founders or marketers building a LinkedIn presence
- Content creators growing their audience
- Agencies managing client content calendars
- Anyone who wants to post consistently without spending hours on content
How it works
- Pulls old ideas from a Google Sheet
- Schedules content creation using n8n’s cron node
- Uses Perplexity to research current topics and trends
- Feeds the data into an AI agent (like Claude or GPT) to generate post copy
- Creates a branded image using a reference style and OpenAI’s image model
- Saves post content + image URL into Google Sheets
- Twice a week, selects one ready post, downloads the image, and publishes it to LinkedIn
