This n8n workflow automates content creation and updating in Strapi, a headless CMS. Triggered manually, it begins with a manual trigger node to start the process. Next, it sets up the content data with a Set node, specifying the Title, Content, and Description for a new post. This content is then sent to Strapi to create a new post via the Strapi node, which interacts with the Strapi API using credentials stored securely. Once the post is created, the workflow captures the newly generated post ID and updates the post’s slug field to a custom URL-friendly string. The workflow concludes with an update action that assigns the custom slug back to the newly created post, ensuring clean URLs for better SEO and user experience.

This automation is particularly useful for content teams looking to streamline their publishing workflows, reduce manual data entry, and maintain consistent URL structures across posts. It can be integrated into larger content management processes, allowing for efficient and automatic content publication.
