LinkedIn Post Automator

3 min read
Meet LindedIn Post Automator – your all-in-one, AI-powered LinkedIn content machine! It’s a smart workflow that automates everything from receiving article input via Telegram to generating professional LinkedIn posts with AI, creating eye-catching images, managing your Airtable content base, and scheduling daily auto-posts on LinkedIn – all while keeping you in the loop for approvals! 

How It Works:

Multi-Input Article Capture:

  • A Telegram Trigger listens for content in text, audio, or PDF form.

  • Each input type is processed accordingly:

    • Text → Sent directly to AI.

    • Audio → Transcribed and routed based on whether it’s a “Memo” or an article.

    • PDF → Extracted for content processing.

AI-Powered Content Generation:

  • The title is extracted using GPT-4o-mini.

  • The summary is crafted in an academic tone with proper AMA citation.

  • LinkedIn Post is professionally written, concise, and ready for publication (max 150 words).

Image Creation & Approval (Human-in-the-Loop):

  • A thumbnail image is generated using AI based on the article’s topic.

  • Image is sent via Telegram for approval:  Accept or  Reject.

  • Upon approval, it’s stored in Google Drive and linked in Airtable.

Airtable Management:

  • Stores all article info:

    • Title, Raw Article, Summary, LinkedIn Post, Image, Status.

  • AI Agent can create, update, or retrieve records dynamically.

  • Sends you a Telegram summary after every upload with full article details.

Scheduled LinkedIn Posting

  • Every day at 8 AM, the workflow checks Airtable for posts marked “Draft”.

  • If an image exists, it posts with it. Otherwise, text-only.

  • Status is updated to “Completed” after successful publishing.

  • You can also manually trigger posts through AI commands in Telegram!


Use Case:

The primary use case is to assist a user (referred to as John Doe) in managing an Airtable-based article database and automating LinkedIn content creation and posting. 

Handles Multiple Input Types:

  • Accepts article inputs via Telegram as text, audio (transcribed to text), or PDF files.

  • Processes these inputs to create structured content (title, summary, LinkedIn post, and optional image).

Automates Content Creation:

  • Extracts article titles, generates summaries, and crafts professional LinkedIn posts using AI (OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini model).

  • Creates visually appealing, text-free thumbnail images for posts.

Manages Airtable Database:

  • Stores article data (title, raw article, summary, LinkedIn post, image details, status) in an Airtable base.

  • Supports creating, updating, and retrieving records.

Incorporates Human Approval:

  • Sends generated images to Telegram for user approval before storing them in Airtable and Google Drive.

Schedules Automated LinkedIn Posts:

  • Posts draft articles from Airtable to LinkedIn daily at 8 AM, with or without images, based on availability.

Ensures Professional Output:

  • Follows LinkedIn content guidelines (educational, professional, concise) and includes proper source attribution in posts.

  • Maintains a polished, engaging tone for LinkedIn posts.

This workflow is ideal for content creators, thought leaders, or professionals who want to streamline article management and LinkedIn posting while maintaining quality and control over the content.
