Platform-specific flags (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) determine where the content should be published.\n\nWhen a new row is detected, the workflow reads the post content, checks which platforms are enabled, and publishes the post to the selected platforms. After each successful post, the workflow updates the same row in Google Sheets with a status so you can track what has already been published.\n\nThis design keeps content creation simple (Google Sheets) while automation handles distribution and status tracking. No manual posting is required once the row is added.\n\n## Setup steps\n\n1. Create a Google Sheet with columns: \n **Content**, **Instagram**, **Facebook**, **LinkedIn**, **Status**\n2. Connect your Google Sheets account in n8n.\n3. Add your Instagram Business Account ID and Facebook Page ID in the **Workflow Configuration** node.\n4. Connect Facebook Graph API and LinkedIn credentials.\n5. Set platform columns to `TRUE` or `FALSE` for each post.\n6. Add a new row to publish automatically.\n"
