Auto-generate blog posts with GPT, Leonardo AI, and Wordpress publishing
Trigger & Topic Extraction The workflow starts manually or from a chat/Telegram/webhook input. A “topic extractor” node scans the incoming text and cleans it (handles /topic … commands). If no topic is detected, it defaults to a sample news headline. Style & Structure Setup A style guide node defines the blog’s tone: practical, medium–low formality, clear sections, clean HTML only. It also enforces do’s (citations, links, actionable steps) and don’ts (no clickbait, no low-quality sources). Research & Drafting A GPT node generates a 1,700–1,800 word article following the style guide. Sections include: What happened, Why it matters, Opportunities/risks, Action plan, FAQ. The draft is then polished for clarity and flow. Quality Control A word count guard checks that the article is at least 1,600 words. If too short, a GPT “expand draft” node deepens the Why it matters, Risks, and Action plan sections. Image Creation The final article’s title and content are used to generate an editorial-style image prompt. Leonardo AI creates a cinematic, text-free featured image suitable for Google News/Discover. The image is uploaded to WordPress, with proper ALT text generated by GPT. Publishing to WordPress The final post (title, content, featured image) is automatically published. Sources are extracted from the article, compiled into a “Sources” section with clickable links. Posts are categorized and published immediately.

This workflow automates the end-to-end process of generating and publishing blog posts from live news headlines. Fetch Headlines – Collects the latest top stories from Google News and GDELT, merges them, and removes duplicates. Headline Selection & Classification – Picks top headlines, checks relevance, and applies style rules. Draft Generation – Uses GPT to create an initial blog article in a natural, human tone. Tone & Expansion – Refines the draft for clarity, length, and style (customized to your own writing voice). Image Generation – Sends the article topic to Leonardo AI, waits for the image to finish rendering, and retrieves the final asset. Publish to WordPress – Uploads the generated image, assigns alt-text, creates a WordPress post with the article and image, and logs the publication to Google Sheets for tracking. Purpose Designed for hands-off content automation, this workflow continuously produces SEO-ready blog posts enriched with AI-generated images and publishes them directly to WordPress. It’s ideal for: Running an automated blog that reacts to trending news. Keeping websites updated with fresh, styled content without manual effort. Creating a repeatable content engine that combines research, writing, and media assets in one pipeline. Setup Instructions: Add Your Credentials Go to Credentials in n8n and create: OpenAI (for article generation) Leonardo AI (for image generation) WordPress (to publish posts) (Optional) Google Sheets (to log published articles) Attach these credentials to the matching nodes in the workflow. Check the WordPress Node Update the WordPress site URL to your own blog. Make sure the category, tags, and status (publish/draft) are set the way you want.
