📰 Related News to Content Marketing Automation

Overview

This workflow automatically collects news from an RSS feed, identifies the most relevant article(s), and generates ready-to-use social media and blog content tailored for Medium, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

It’s ideal for:
• Marketing teams who want a steady flow of fresh content.
• Social media managers looking to save time on research and writing.
• Startups and creators who want consistent posting with minimal effort.

Instead of manually scanning articles and drafting posts, this automation gives you AI-generated content with your preferred tone of voice — and even sends confirmation emails so you can review before posting.

Prerequisites

Before using this workflow, make sure you have:
• ✅ An n8n account (self-hosted or cloud).
• ✅ An OpenAI API key for content generation.
• ✅ An RSS feed URL for your industry or niche.
• ✅ A Gmail account (or another configured email service) to receive content confirmation messages.

Setup Instructions

1. Import the Workflow

Download and import this workflow into your n8n instance.

1. Configure the RSS Feed
   • Open the RSS Read node.
   • Replace the sample URL with your preferred news source(s).

2. Connect OpenAI
   • Open the OpenAI Chat Model node.
   • Add your OpenAI API Key in the credentials.
   • (Optional) Adjust the prompts in the “Tone of Voice Writer” or “Instagram & LinkedIn Writer” nodes to match your brand’s style.

3. Set Up Gmail
   • Open the Send Content Confirmation nodes.
   • Connect your Gmail (or another email service).
   • Add the email address where you want to receive content drafts.

4. Run & Automate
