How this works
Stay ahead in content creation by automating your Ghost blog with fresh, relevant articles pulled from RSS feeds and NewsAPI, saving hours of manual research and curation. This workflow suits bloggers, marketers, or small teams managing niche publications who want consistent, high-quality posts without constant oversight. The key step merges and deduplicates sources before an AI agent crafts tailored drafts, ensuring seamless integration into your Ghost CMS via HTTP requests and structured storage in Airtable for topic tracking.
Use this when you need daily topic-based content from reliable news streams but lack time for sourcing, especially for evergreen or timely blogs. Avoid it for highly customised editorial needs requiring human review at every stage, or if your topics demand real-time updates beyond 48-hour filters. Common variations include adjusting the cron schedule for weekly runs or swapping NewsAPI for custom RSS sources to fit specific industries.
About this workflow
Ghost-Automated-Blog-System. Uses scheduleTrigger, rssFeedRead, httpRequest, airtable. Scheduled trigger; 38 nodes.
