Replace `@USERNAME` in TikTok RSS node with target account\n2. Set your Google Sheet ID in \"Save to Review Sheet\" node\n3. Update email addresses in notification node\n4. Test with a single post before enabling daily schedule\n\n### Alternative Approaches:\n- Can use TikTok API instead of RSS (if available)\n- Can use Canva API instead of Midjourney for generation\n- Can integrate with Airtable for more advanced review workflows\n- Can add approval workflow with interactive buttons"
