Possible use cases :

Automate press article summarization with GPT.
Create social media posts optimized for young audiences.
Publish content simultaneously across multiple platforms with Late API.

How it works

The workflow starts manually or with a trigger.
URLs of news articles are defined in the Edit Fields node.
Each URL is processed separately via Split Out.
HTTP Request fetches the article HTML.
Custom Code node extracts clean text (title, content, main image).
OpenAI summarizes each article factually.
Aggregate combines results.
Another OpenAI node (Message a model) creates structured JSON summaries for young readers.
A final OpenAI node (Message a model1) generates short social media posts (hook, summary, CTA, hashtags).
Images are extracted via HTML1 and uploaded to Google Drive.
Posts (text + image) are sent to Late API for multi-platform scheduling (Twitter, Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube).

Requirements

OpenAI API key connected to n8n.

Valid list of article URLs.

n8n Workflow: News Article Summarization and Social Media Posting with GPT-4 and GetLate

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching news articles, summarizing them using OpenAI's GPT-4, and then posting these summaries to social media platforms via GetLate. It's designed to streamline content curation and distribution, saving time and effort for social media managers, content creators, or anyone looking to share concise news updates.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

Manual Trigger: The workflow is initiated manually, allowing you to control when the news fetching and posting process begins.
HTTP Request: It fetches the latest news articles from a specified API endpoint (likely a news API).
Edit Fields (Set): Prepares the data for further processing, potentially renaming or restructuring fields for consistency.
Split Out: Splits the incoming news articles into individual items, so each article can be processed independently.
HTML Extraction: Extracts relevant content (e.g., article text) from the HTML of each news article.
OpenAI (GPT-4) Summarization: Sends the extracted article content to OpenAI's GPT-4 model to generate a concise summary.
Aggregate: Combines the summarized articles back into a single collection.
Google Drive Upload: Uploads the summarized news articles (likely as a file or structured data) to Google Drive for archival or further use.
HTTP Request (GetLate Social Media Post): Posts the summarized news articles to social media platforms using the GetLate API.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

n8n Instance: A running n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI with access to GPT-4 or a compatible model.
GetLate Account: An account with GetLate for social media posting, along with the necessary API credentials.
