Automated Blogger News Publisher
Automatically search for breaking news, use AI to write SEO-optimized articles, and publish them directly to Google Blogger via a webhook trigger.
Tags
This workflow automatically generates and publishes SEO-optimized news blog posts to Google Blogger by combining a webhook trigger, real-time web search, and an advanced AI model. Every time the webhook fires, the system finds breaking news, writes a full professional article with source links, and posts it live to your Blogger blog.
Workflow Steps
- Receives a topic keyword via a webhook.
- Captures the exact current date and time to timestamp the article accurately.
- Searches the internet for the top recent news results related to the topic.
- Uses an AI model to write a full SEO blog post in HTML format with meta tags, source links, and structured data.
- Builds the complete Blogger API JSON payload including Open Graph and Twitter Card tags.
- Publishes the finished article directly to your Google Blogger blog via an authenticated HTTP request.
What You Need
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Blogger Account | An active Google Blogger account and blog. |
| Blog ID | Found in your Blogger Settings under Basic. |
| OAuth2 Access Token | A token with the Blogger scope generated via the Google OAuth Playground. |
| Workflow Variables | Two variables set in Needle: BLOGGER_BLOG_ID and BLOGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN. |
| Webhook Client | A tool to send POST requests such as Postman, curl, or any third party automation service. |
Node Configuration
| Node Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Webhook Trigger | Listens for incoming HTTP POST requests containing a topic field. |
| Get Time Now | Captures the current timestamp in ISO format for accurate publishing. |
| Search Internet | Performs a live web search for the latest news related to the provided topic. |
| AI Agent | Receives search results and writes a complete SEO blog post in structured JSON output format. |
| Code Node | Takes the structured AI output and assembles the final Blogger API payload, injecting necessary meta tags. |
| HTTP Request | Sends an authenticated POST request to the Blogger API to publish the final article. |
Expected Output
A fully published, SEO-optimized news article live on your Google Blogger blog. The post includes a proper title, meta description, Open Graph tags, structured data schema markup, a table of contents, hyperlinked source citations, and relevant Blogger labels. Every post is timestamped automatically based on the current global time.
Important Notes
- The Google Access Token expires after one hour. For continuous use, implement a refresh token flow or use a service account.
- To automate on a schedule instead of on demand, replace the Webhook Trigger with a Scheduled Trigger.
- The workflow works best when the topic is a specific news keyword rather than a broad term.
- This template is compatible with external automation platforms, making it easy to chain with other custom backend services.
- Content quality improves when the internet search returns rich snippets, so avoid overly generic topics.
