⚙ AI-Powered Social Media Automation for LinkedIn

How It Works

This workflow automates the entire social media content creation and publishing process for LinkedIn. It starts with a simple form to collect a topic or idea. The workflow then uses two AI agents to automatically generate both the written content and a unique image prompt. The AI-generated image is created, uploaded, and then downloaded before the final step, where both the content and the image are posted to your LinkedIn account.

Setup Steps

Follow these steps to get the workflow running in your n8n instance.

1. Prerequisites

You will need a working n8n instance and accounts for the following services:

• OpenAI: For AI content and image generation.
• Google Drive: To temporarily store the generated image.
• Gmail: For the file upload process.
• LinkedIn: To publish the final post.

2. Workflow Import

Import the provided .json file into your n8n instance. All the necessary nodes will appear on your canvas.

3. Configure Credentials

Connect the following credentials to their respective nodes:

• OpenAI: Connect to the OpenAI Chat Model, AI Agent Content Generator, Ai Agent Prompt Image generator, and Image-1 nodes.
• Google Drive: Connect to the Upload file and Download file nodes.
• Gmail: Connect to the Send a message node.
• LinkedIn: Connect to the Create a post node.

4. Customize the Trigger Form

1. Click on the On form submission node.
2. Review and customize the form fields to fit your specific needs (e.g., add fields for hashtags, target audience, etc.).
3. Click "Share Form" to get the unique URL for your content ideas form.

5. Customize AI Prompts

1. Click on the AI Agent Content Generator node.
2. Review and adjust the System Message to refine the writing style, tone, and character limits for your LinkedIn posts.
3. Similarly, open the Ai Agent Prompt Image generator node and modify the System Message to guide the AI in creating images that match your brand identity.

6. Configure Google Drive

1. Click on the Upload file node.
2. Under the Parameters tab, select the specific Drive ID and Folder ID where you want to temporarily store the generated images.

7. Configure the LinkedIn Post
