Automated AI-Enhanced WordPress Post Summarization Workflow

This comprehensive n8n workflow automates the process of generating and integrating AI summaries into WordPress posts. It triggers either on a schedule or via webhook when a new post is published. The workflow retrieves post content, converts it from HTML to Markdown, and uses OpenAI’s GPT models to generate a concise, formatted summary. It then updates the post with this summary, preserving the original excerpt, and logs the activity in Google Sheets. Additionally, it sends Slack notifications to inform team members of new summarized posts.

Key nodes include triggers, WordPress retrieval and update actions, content processing, OpenAI for AI-generated summaries, Google Sheets for logging, and Slack for notifications. The workflow ensures efficient, non-redundant summarization, making it ideal for content teams looking to enhance post visibility and engagement automatically. This setup supports manual testing, scheduled automation, or real-time webhook triggers, providing flexibility for different operational needs.
