Create SEO blog posts from a simple prompt and publish them to your site without manual writing. The system researches the topic, drafts an article, publishes it, and alerts your team. It fits content and marketing teams that need steady posts with clear sources.

A public form collects the question, or a chat message can start the run. The flow calls the Perplexity API to pull current research, formats citations, and passes clean notes to a GPT 4o model. An AI agent turns that into a title and body, then posts to WordPress. It also emails stakeholders with Gmail, posts an update in Slack, and saves the article to Notion for tracking. Variables for email, Slack, Notion, and model can be edited from one place. Citations are inserted in the text so sources stay visible.

Set credentials for WordPress, Gmail, Slack, Notion, OpenAI, and Perplexity in n8n Cloud. Expect to cut drafting time from hours to minutes and keep a steady posting rhythm. Use it for news roundups, product updates, and AI topic explainers where speed and source clarity matter.
