Write daily tech news with OpenAI using RSS feeds and WordPress

Who is this for

Tech bloggers, content creators, and site owners who want a fully automated daily news column without writing a single word.

What this workflow does

A schedule trigger fires daily at 8 AM and pulls articles from four RSS feeds (BBC Tech, The Verge, Ars Technica, TechCrunch). All feeds are merged, normalized to a common schema, filtered to the last 24 hours, sorted by date, and capped at 10. A Code node compiles the articles into a digest, which is passed to an OpenAI-powered AI agent. The agent picks the most newsworthy story (or combines 2–3 related ones), fetches full article text via a custom tool, and writes an original 600–1000 word article. The AI output is parsed into a title and HTML body, then posted as a draft to WordPress.

How to set up

Add your OpenAI API key under Credentials → OpenAI. The workflow uses gpt-5.1 by default — swap to any chat model in the "OpenAI Chat Model" node. Add your WordPress API credentials (site URL, username, and application password). Activate the workflow — it runs daily at 8 AM.

Requirements

OpenAI account and API key WordPress site with application password enabled

How to customize

Swap or add RSS feed URLs by duplicating an RSS node and connecting it to the Merge node (increase numberInputs accordingly). Change the Limit node value to control how many articles the AI reviews. Switch the WordPress post status from draft to publish for immediate publishing.
