Auto-post curated AI news to X every two hours
An n8n workflow pulls AI/tech news from RSS feeds and posts it to the author's X account every two hours, saving manual work. Task: Suggested implementation: Build an n8n workflow that ingests AI/tech news from RSS feeds, uses OpenAI to generate tweet drafts, scores them for engagement, logs data in Google Sheets, and auto-posts top items to X every two hours. The human role involves configuring the workflow, selecting sources, and defining the schedule.; tools: n8n. Human role: The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.; limitations: Prerequisites include n8n, OpenAI, Google Sheets, and X API access. A key constraint is X's free API limit of 17 posts per day, necessitating a schedule of roughly 12 posts daily. Source reliability is low due to the inaccessible link..

Overview
An n8n workflow pulls AI/tech news from RSS feeds and posts it to the author's X account every two hours, saving manual work.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Build an n8n workflow that ingests AI/tech news from RSS feeds, uses OpenAI to generate tweet drafts, scores them for engagement, logs data in Google Sheets, and auto-posts top items to X every two hours. The human role involves configuring the workflow, selecting sources, and defining the schedule.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unknown as the source returned a 403 error and no execution evidence is available. Proposed acceptance check: Verify that the workflow successfully posts at least one tweet within a 24-hour test period without exceeding API limits.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include n8n, OpenAI, Google Sheets, and X API access. A key constraint is X's free API limit of 17 posts per day, necessitating a schedule of roughly 12 posts daily. Source reliability is low due to the inaccessible link.
Try it
Act as an automation engineer. I need to set up an n8n workflow to auto-post AI news to X. Inputs: [RSS Feed URLs], [OpenAI API Key], [X API Credentials], [Google Sheet ID]. Steps: 1. Create an n8n workflow with an RSS Read node for the provided feeds. 2. Add an OpenAI node to rewrite headlines into tweet-ready text. 3. Add a scoring logic node to rank drafts by potential engagement. 4. Store all drafts and scores in the specified Google Sheet. 5. Configure a Schedule Trigger to run every 2 hours. 6. Add an X (Twitter) node to post only the highest-scoring draft from the last 2 hours. Safeguards: Ensure the total posts do not exceed 17 per day. Perform a dry run with a test account first. I will manually verify the first 3 posts before enabling full automation. If any step fails, stop and report the error. Do not publish without my confirmation.
