RSS to Social: Automated Content Generation with Llama 3 & GetLate Publishing

🚀 Automate your social media presence! This workflow duo automatically curates content from your Wallabag RSS feeds, generates platform-specific posts using AI, and publishes them—complete with AI-generated images.

⚙️ Setup & Configuration

Required Credentials & Services: To run this workflow, you will need to set up the following credentials in n8n: Wallabag RSS Feeds:** This workflow uses Wallabag as your content curation service. Wallabag is the most cost-effective option—easy to self-host or use as a paid service. You'll need to generate access tokens for RSS feed access. Airtable API Key:** To create and update records in your "Content Store" database. LLM Provider API Key:* To power the social media content generation. The demo uses Groq (llama-3.3-70b-versatile), but this can be replaced with any preferred LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). GetLate API Key: To authenticate and post to your social media platforms. Imgbb API Key:* To host the AI-generated images. An Image Generation Service API Key:* For creating images from prompts. The demo uses *Hugging Face (stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0)**, but this can be swapped for any other service (Fal.ai, Stability AI, etc.).

Key Setup Requirement: Define Your Tagging Convention Before running this workflow, establish a consistent tagging system in Wallabag where each tag corresponds to a specific social media platform. For example: #to-share-linkedin for LinkedIn content #to-share-bluesky for Bluesky content #to-share-instagram for Instagram content

Adding More Feeds & Platforms: New Feeds:** Simply duplicate the example sub-workflows and update the RSS feed URL and target platform information for each new tag/platform combination. New Platforms:** To add support for additional social platforms, duplicate one of the existing platform sub-workflows (LinkedIn or Bluesky) and update the platform-specific parameters, prompts, and GetLate API settings for your new platform.

Airtable Database Schema: "RSS Feed - Content Store" The workflow uses an Airtable base with the following fields to track content from ingestion to publication: id (Primary Field): Formula, for unique record ID (RECORD_ID()) audience_targeted: Long text author: Long text character_count: Number content_markdown: Long text cta_used: Long text feed_id: Single line text goal_applied: Long text image_filename: Singe line text image_id: Single line text image_link: URL image_prompt: Long text is_posted: Number, default is 0 platform: Single line text post_text: Long text suggested_hashtags: Long text title: Long text tone_applied: Long text article_url: URL

Customizable User Inputs: This workflow is built for flexibility. Key inputs you can customize include: Wallabag RSS Feed URL & Platform Tag:** The specific feed and platform-specific tag (e.g., #to-share-linkedin) to monitor in Workflow #1. Target Social Platform:** Defined per feed in the "Edit Field" node. Content Generation Schedule:** The frequency for auto-posting in the Schedule Trigger. Brand Voice & LLM Parameters:** The tone, style, and specific instructions for the AI in the "Set Custom SMCG Prompt" node. Platform-Specific Prompts:** The template used to generate posts for each social network (Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.). Posting Behavior & Image Generation:* Configured within the SMCG (Social Media Content Generation) node*. This is where you set the posting mode (immediate vs. draft) and define a boolean for each platform to enable or disable AI-generated images for its posts.
