Repurpose Articles Into Social Posts
This workflow automatically transforms an article into ready-to-use social media posts and email newsletter content tailored for multiple platforms. It fetches the latest article, generates platform-specific content using AI, stores it in a Google Sheet, and sends it via email for your content team's convenience.
What It Does
- At a scheduled time each day, it loads the specified article web page.
- Uses an AI agent to repurpose the article into content formats for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and an email newsletter.
- Saves all the generated content in a Google Sheet for record-keeping and easy access.
- Sends an email to the content team with a breakdown of all generated posts.
- Repeats daily according to the set schedule.
What You Need
- Access to the Needle platform to build and run the workflow.
- A Google Sheets account with a specific Sheet and Worksheet ready for content storage.
- A Gmail account authorized for sending emails.
- Permissions for Needle to access Google Sheets and Gmail via Pipedream connectors.
- The URL of the article you want to repurpose.
