n8n Workflow: Create SEO-Optimized WordPress Blogs Automatically with Perplexity & Google Trends

This n8n workflow automates the creation of SEO-optimized blog posts for WordPress. It leverages AI (Perplexity and OpenAI) to generate content based on trending topics and then publishes it to your WordPress site. The workflow also includes various notification options for monitoring its progress.

What it does

This workflow streamlines your content creation process by:

  1. Triggering the workflow: It can be initiated manually, by another n8n workflow, or via specific triggers from Gmail, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack.
  2. Generating SEO-Optimized Content:
    • It uses a Perplexity node (likely integrated with a Google Trends tool, although not explicitly defined in the JSON, this is inferred from the directory name) to identify trending topics or gather initial research.
    • An AI Agent (LangChain) is employed to plan and execute content generation, potentially using a "Call n8n Workflow Tool" for sub-tasks.
    • A Basic LLM Chain and OpenAI Chat Model (likely from OpenRouter) are used to generate the actual blog post content, ensuring it's SEO-optimized.
    • A Structured Output Parser helps to format the AI-generated content into a consistent structure.
  3. Preparing Content for WordPress:
    • The generated content is processed by Edit Fields (Set), Aggregate, Limit, and Split Out nodes for data manipulation and formatting.
    • A Markdown node is likely used to convert the content into a WordPress-friendly format.
  4. Publishing to WordPress: The final, SEO-optimized content is automatically published as a new post on your WordPress website.
  5. Notifications: The workflow can send notifications about its progress or completion to various platforms:
    • Slack
    • Telegram
    • Gmail
    • WhatsApp Business Cloud
  6. Data Logging (Optional): A Google Sheets node is included, suggesting the ability to log details about the generated posts, topics, or workflow execution for tracking and analysis.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance to import and execute the workflow.
  • WordPress Account: Access to a WordPress site with appropriate API credentials for publishing posts.
  • Perplexity API Key: For content research and generation.
  • OpenAI API Key (or OpenRouter Account): For the AI language models used in content generation.
  • Google Sheets Account: (Optional) If you intend to log workflow data.
  • Telegram Bot Token: (Optional) If you want to receive Telegram notifications.
  • Slack Workspace and App Credentials: (Optional) If you want to receive Slack notifications.
  • Gmail Account: (Optional) If you want to receive email notifications.
  • WhatsApp Business Cloud Account: (Optional) If you want to receive WhatsApp notifications.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your WordPress credentials.
    • Set up your Perplexity credentials.
    • Set up your OpenAI (or OpenRouter) credentials.
    • (Optional) Configure credentials for Google Sheets, Telegram, Slack, Gmail, and WhatsApp Business Cloud if you plan to use these notification/logging features.
  3. Configure Trigger Nodes:
    • Choose your preferred trigger. If using Execute Workflow Trigger, ensure another workflow is set up to call this one.
    • If using Gmail Trigger, Telegram Trigger, WhatsApp Trigger, or Slack Trigger, configure them to listen for the desired events (e.g., specific messages, emails).
  4. Customize AI Agent and LLM Chain:
    • Review the AI Agent, Basic LLM Chain, and OpenAI Chat Model nodes. Adjust prompts, models, and parameters to fit your specific content generation requirements and desired tone/style for blog posts.
    • Ensure the Structured Output Parser is configured to correctly extract the desired fields (e.g., title, body, tags) from the AI-generated output.
  5. Adjust Data Transformation:
    • Modify the Edit Fields (Set), Aggregate, Limit, and Split Out nodes as needed to transform the AI output into the exact format required by your WordPress site.
    • Ensure the Markdown node correctly converts the content.
  6. Configure WordPress Node:
    • Specify the WordPress site URL, post type, status (e.g., "publish", "draft"), and map the generated content fields (title, content, categories, tags) to the WordPress post properties.
  7. Set up Notifications:
    • If using, configure the Slack, Telegram, Gmail, or WhatsApp Business Cloud nodes with the desired recipient and message content.
  8. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow in n8n. It will now automatically execute based on the chosen trigger.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
