Automation • Content Ops
Hands-freeGermanblogposts.
Topic selection, keyword mapping, HTML output, images, and safe drafts—end-to-end in n8n.
The Brief
Remove manual grind from publishing SEO-useful articles while keeping control over topics, language, and quality.
Built a multi-node n8n pipeline to pick a unique topic per run, generate German-only articles with images, and post drafts to Shopify.
DESIGN & BUILD
What I shipped
- THEMES array + uniqueness guard via `getWorkflowStaticData` (no repeats until exhaustion).
- German keyword mapping (`deKeyword`) injected into prompts for consistent on-page SEO.
- HTML article generation (titles, H2/H3, internal links).
- Shopify Admin API integration (`blogs.json`, `articles.json`) with `published: false` for safe staging.
- Image fetching/embedding; slug and duplication checks.
- Daily/adhoc schedules and simple failure notifications.
