        "content": "## Turn new blog articles into social posts, approved in Slack\n\nEvery new article in your RSS feed becomes one draft per social account, each written in that account's own voice from its recent posts. You approve the set in Slack, and Antwork schedules it. Nothing is posted without your click.\n\n### How it works\n1. **New article** checks your feed every hour; **Up to 3 per run** stops a first run from flooding you.\n2. **Fetch the article** and **Extract text and image** read the full article and its `og:image`, not just the feed summary.\n3. **Draft one post per account** is an AI Agent with the Antwork MCP tool. It reads each account's recent and best-performing posts (`get_post_context`), writes a different post for each, saves them as one campaign of drafts (`create_campaign`) and attaches the article image (`add_media`), which Instagram and Pinterest need to publish.\n4. **Ask for approval** sends the drafts, with their edit links, to Slack and waits.\n5. Approve: **Schedule the campaign** schedules every draft for your next posting slot through the Antwork API. Decline: the drafts stay in Antwork for you to edit or delete.\n\n### Requirements\n- An Antwork account with at least one social account connected (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, Mastodon, Pinterest...).\n- An OpenAI API key (or any other chat model).\n- A Slack workspace.\n\n### Setup steps\n1. In Antwork, go to Settings, then Developer, and create an API key with the read, write, media and publish scopes. In n8n, create one **Bearer Auth** credential with it; **Antwork** and **Schedule the campaign** both use it.\n2. **New article**: set your feed URL.\n3. **Your settings**: the accounts to post to (`all`, or comma-separated account ids), the hour to post and your timezone.\n4. **OpenAI Chat Model**: add your OpenAI credential.\n5. **Ask for approval** and **Confirm in Slack**: connect Slack and pick a channel.\n\n### Customization\n- Replace Slack with Gmail, Telegram or Discord: each has a Send and Wait for Response operation.\n- Change the system message in **Draft one post per account** for a different tone, a call to action or hashtag rules.\n- The agent's tools are limited to reading and drafting. Scheduling only happens in **Schedule the campaign**, after your approval.\n\nSetup guide: https://antwork.io/automate/n8n",
