🚀 Automate your social media presence! This workflow duo automatically curates content from your Wallabag RSS feeds, generates platform-specific posts using AI, and publishes them—complete with AI-generated images.
⚙️ Setup & Configuration
Required Credentials & Services:
To run this workflow, you will need to set up the following credentials in n8n:
- Wallabag RSS Feeds: This workflow uses Wallabag as your content curation service. Wallabag is the most cost-effective option—easy to self-host or use as a paid service. You'll need to generate access tokens for RSS feed access.
- Airtable API Key: To create and update records in your "Content Store" database.
- LLM Provider API Key: To power the social media content generation. The demo uses Groq (llama-3.3-70b-versatile), but this can be replaced with any preferred LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
- GetLate API Key: To authenticate and post to your social media platforms.
- Imgbb API Key: To host the AI-generated images.
- An Image Generation Service API Key: For creating images from prompts. The demo uses Hugging Face (stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0), but this can be swapped for any other service (Fal.ai, Stability AI, etc.).
Key Setup Requirement: Define Your Tagging Convention
Before running this workflow, establish a consistent tagging system in Wallabag where each tag corresponds to a specific social media platform. For example:
#to-share-linkedin
for LinkedIn content
#to-share-bluesky
for Bluesky content
#to-share-instagram
for Instagram content
Adding More Feeds & Platforms:
- New Feeds: Simply duplicate the example sub-workflows and update the RSS feed URL and target platform information for each new tag/platform combination.
- New Platforms: To add support for additional social platforms, duplicate one of the existing platform sub-workflows (LinkedIn or Bluesky) and update the platform-specific parameters, prompts, and GetLate API settings for your new platform.
