Generate Daily LinkedIn Posts

What It Does

This workflow searches the web every morning for the most relevant trending topic in tech, business, or leadership from the last 24 hours. It then writes two fully-formed LinkedIn posts about the topic, generating both a long-form version and a short, punchy version. Both drafts land directly in your Gmail inbox before your workday starts, ready to review and publish.

Why It Matters

Consistency is the main driver of LinkedIn audience growth, but deciding what to write creates daily friction. Staring at a blank compose screen and wondering if a topic is relevant costs mental energy. Most professionals post only twice a week instead of daily because starting the draft is overwhelming. This workflow removes that friction. Every morning you open your email and pick from two ready-made posts. You retain full control over what to post and when, while the AI agent eliminates the activation energy of starting from scratch.

How It Works

1. Scheduled Trigger: Fires every day at 6:00 AM UTC to prepare your content before the morning starts.
2. AI Agent: Searches the web for top trending topics in professional spheres. It selects the topic with the clearest opinion angle and writes two distinct post formats.
3. Gmail: Delivers both versions as a clean HTML email, putting the topic name in the subject line.

What You Get

Who It Is For

1. Founders and executives building thought leadership on LinkedIn.
2. Consultants and freelancers who need consistent content to generate inbound leads.
3. Job seekers actively building a personal brand during a career transition.
4. Marketing professionals who manage personal or brand LinkedIn accounts and need daily inspiration.

Setup

1. Connect your Gmail account, granting all necessary permissions when prompted.
2. Submit the workflow to the catalog and avoid publishing it immediately if you do not want it to run on your own credits.
3. Look for your daily LinkedIn post idea to arrive in your Gmail inbox every morning.

Customize It

1. Change the topic vertical in the AI agent prompt from tech and business to your specific niche, such as fintech or product management.
2. Extend the output to include a third version formatted for Twitter or X by adding the request to the AI agent prompt.
3. Change the delivery time from 6:00 AM UTC to your preferred morning time by updating the schedule on the trigger.

Timezone Adjustments

The trigger is configured to fire at 6:00 AM UTC daily. To adjust this to your local morning routine, change the schedule expression. For example, use 30 1 * * * for 7:00 AM IST or 11 * * * for 6:00 AM EST.
