Auto-publish blog announcements with Postproxy
This template turns your latest blog post into platform-native social posts and publishes them automatically via Postproxy.
It does three things:
- Pulls the newest blog post (URL + title + featured image).
- Uses AI to generate two tailored announcements (Twitter/X + LinkedIn).
- Resolves the correct connected social profiles (real target IDs) and publishes each post to the right account.
What you need
- A Postproxy account + API key: https://postproxy.dev
- The Postproxy connector enabled in Needle (select Postproxy MCP).
- At least one connected social profile in Postproxy (LinkedIn/Twitter/X, etc.).
How the flow works
-
Manual Trigger Starts the workflow.
-
AI Agent (Fetch latest post) Finds the most recent blog post and extracts the essentials: URL, title, and the featured image. Output is structured for the next step.
-
AI Agents (Generate posts) Generates two platform-native announcements from the same article:
- a shorter, punchier version for Twitter/X
- a longer, more contextual version for LinkedIn
Each output is shaped as an item like:
platform,text,url,image_url
-
Profiles list (Postproxy) Fetches your connected social profiles from Postproxy, including each profile’s
platformand its realtarget_id. This is what allows publishing to the correct account (not just “to LinkedIn”, but to your LinkedIn profile/page). -
Merge (Join posts + profiles) Combines the generated posts with the available profiles and replaces platform labels (e.g.
linkedin) with the matching Postproxytarget_id(e.g.yOLU8N). Result: publish-ready items with the correct targets. -
Post publish (Postproxy) Publishes each item through Postproxy using the resolved
target_id, attaching text + media in the correct platform format.
Output
- One published post per platform (typically Twitter/X + LinkedIn), each posted to the correct connected profile.
Notes
- If you have multiple profiles per platform, the merge step should choose the intended one (e.g., by profile name or group).
- If you want “human-in-the-loop”, insert an approval step between post generation and publish (e.g., review/edit text before sending).
