Create LinkedIn content with Perplexity research, GPT-4 & Google Sheets
This n8n workflow automates the process of creating high-quality, scroll-stopping LinkedIn posts based on live research, AI insight generation, and Google Sheets storage.
Instead of relying on recycled AI tips or boring summaries, this system combines real-time trend discovery via Perplexity, structured idea shaping with GPT-4, and content generation tailored to a bold, human LinkedIn voice. The workflow saves each post idea (with image prompt, tone, and summary) to a Google Sheet, sends you a Telegram alert, and even formats your content for direct publishing.
Perfect for solopreneurs, startup marketers, or anyone who posts regularly on LinkedIn and wants to sound original, not robotic.
Who’s it for
- Content creators and solopreneurs building an audience on LinkedIn
- Startup teams, PMs, and tech marketers looking to scale thought leadership
- Anyone tired of generic AI-generated posts and craving structured, edgy output
How it works
- Daily trigger at 6 AM starts the workflow.
- Pulls recent post history from Google Sheets to avoid repeated ideas.

- Filter or tag ideas based on type (trend, tip, story, etc.)
- Post automatically via LinkedIn API or Buffer integration
Create LinkedIn Content with Perplexity Research & GPT-4
This n8n workflow automates the process of generating engaging LinkedIn content based on research from Perplexity AI and refining it with a GPT-4 powered OpenAI Chat Model. It then allows for review and approval via Telegram before posting to Google Sheets.
What it does
This workflow streamlines content creation by:
- Scheduling Content Generation: Triggers at a set interval (e.g., daily, weekly) to initiate the content creation process.
- Fetching Research from Perplexity AI: Uses Perplexity AI to gather information based on a predefined prompt.
- Generating LinkedIn Post Drafts with GPT-4: Processes the Perplexity AI research using an OpenAI Chat Model (GPT-4) to create a structured LinkedIn post draft.
- Parsing Structured Output: Extracts the structured content (e.g., title, body, hashtags) from the GPT-4 output.
- Human-in-the-Loop Approval via Telegram: Sends the generated content to a Telegram chat for review and approval.
- Storing Approved Content in Google Sheets: Once approved, the content is saved to a Google Sheet, ready for manual posting or further automation.
- Limiting Output (Optional): Includes a "Limit" node, which suggests the ability to control the number of items processed, perhaps to prevent overwhelming the Telegram approval step or Google Sheet.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
- Perplexity AI Account & API Key: For fetching research.
- OpenAI Account & API Key: For using the GPT-4 chat model.
- Telegram Bot Token & Chat ID: For sending approval messages.

Chat IDin the Telegram node where approval messages should be sent. - Set up your Google Sheets credential.
- Customize Nodes:
- Schedule Trigger: Adjust the schedule to your desired frequency for content generation.
- Perplexity: Update the "Query" field with the type of research you want Perplexity to perform for your LinkedIn content.
- OpenAI Chat Model: Fine-tune the prompt to guide GPT-4 in generating LinkedIn-specific content (e.g., tone, length, inclusion of hashtags).
- Structured Output Parser: Ensure the schema matches the expected output structure from your OpenAI prompt.
- Telegram: Customize the message sent for approval.
- Google Sheets: Specify the Spreadsheet Name, Sheet Name, and the columns where the content should be written.
- Code Node: Review and adjust the JavaScript code if you need to transform or format the data in a specific way before sending it to Telegram or Google Sheets.
- Limit Node: If active, configure the limit to control the number of items processed in a single run.
- Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start automating your LinkedIn content creation.
This workflow provides a powerful foundation for generating and managing LinkedIn content with AI, incorporating a crucial human review step to maintain quality and relevance.

Two-way property repair management system with Google Sheets & Drive
This workflow automates the repair request process between tenants and building managers, keeping all updates organized in a single spreadsheet. It is composed of two coordinated workflows, as two separate triggers are required — one for new repair submissions and another for repair updates. A Unique Unit ID that corresponds to individual units is attributed to each request, and timestamps are used to coordinate repair updates with specific requests. General use cases include: Property managers who manage multiple buildings or units. Building owners looking to centralize tenant repair communication. Automation builders who want to learn multi-trigger workflow design in n8n. --- ⚙️ How It Works Workflow 1 – New Repair Requests Behind the Scenes: A tenant fills out a Google Form (“Repair Request Form”), which automatically adds a new row to a linked Google Sheet. Steps: Trigger: Google Sheets rowAdded – runs when a new form entry appears. Extract & Format: Collects all relevant form data (address, unit, urgency, contacts). Generate Unit ID: Creates a standardized identifier (e.g., BUILDING-UNIT) for tracking. Email Notification: Sends the building manager a formatted email summarizing the repair details and including a link to a Repair Update Form (which activates Workflow 2). --- Workflow 2 – Repair Updates Behind the Scenes:\ Triggered when the building manager submits a follow-up form (“Repair Update Form”). Steps: Lookup by UUID: Uses the Unit ID from Workflow 1 to find the existing row in the Google Sheet. Conditional Logic: If photos are uploaded: Saves each image to a Google Drive folder, renames files consistently, and adds URLs to the sheet. If no photos: Skips the upload step and processes textual updates only. Merge & Update: Combines new data with existing repair info in the same spreadsheet row — enabling a full repair history in one place. --- 🧩 Requirements Google Account (for Forms, Sheets, and Drive) Gmail/email node connected for sending notifications n8n credentials configured for Google API access --- ⚡ Setup Instructions (see more detail in workflow) Import both workflows into n8n, then copy one into a second workflow. Change manual trigger in workflow 2 to a n8n Form node. Connect Google credentials to all nodes. Update spreadsheet and folder IDs in the corresponding nodes. Customize email text, sender name, and form links for your organization. Test each workflow with a sample repair request and a repair update submission. --- 🛠️ Customization Ideas Add Slack or Telegram notifications for urgent repairs. Auto-create folders per building or unit for photo uploads. Generate monthly repair summaries using Google Sheets triggers. Add an AI node to create summaries/extract relevant repair data from repair request that include long submissions.
