Business problem
Marketing teams track content in spreadsheets or docs, then manually copy approved posts into a separate scheduling tool.
Before automation
A marketer copies each approved post's text and image into the scheduling tool by hand, one at a time.
The automated workflow
Once content is marked approved in your tracking sheet, n8n automatically formats it and pushes it into your scheduling tool for the assigned date.
How it works
- 1A row is marked 'Approved' in your content tracking sheet, triggering the workflow.
- 2n8n pulls the associated copy and image asset.
- 3n8n creates a scheduled post in your social media tool for the planned date.
- 4The sheet is updated to reflect that the post was scheduled.
