Step 2: Connect the RSS Data Source

Define the RSS feed URL to pull the latest articles into the workflow.

1. Open Retrieve RSS Items.
2. Set URL to https://example.com/rss-feed.xml.
3. Ensure Retrieve RSS Items flows to Prepare Feed Data.

Step 3: Prepare Article Inputs and AI Generation

Normalize RSS fields, then generate a full article using the AI agent.

1. Open Prepare Feed Data and keep the JavaScript as-is to extract topic, keywords, and other metadata.
2. Open Compose Article with AI and confirm the prompt text uses RSS fields like {{ $json.original_title }} and {{ $json.original_description }}.
3. Confirm that OpenAI Chat Engine is connected as the language model for Compose Article with AI.
4. Ensure Compose Article with AI outputs to Shape Article Payload.

Credential Required: Connect your OpenAI credentials in OpenAI Chat Engine (the AI sub-node). Do not add credentials directly to Compose Article with AI.

Step 4: Structure the AI Output and Send for Review

Format the AI output into a clean payload and send it to a reviewer for approval.

1. Open Shape Article Payload and keep the JavaScript that extracts the title, meta_description, and article_body.
2. Open Submit for Human Review and verify the mapped fields use expressions like {{ $json.article_body }} and {{ $json.title }}.
3. Set reviewTemplateID to your GoToHuman template ID (currently YOUR_GOTOHUMAN_TEMPLATE_ID).
4. Ensure Submit for Human Review connects to Verify Approval Result.

Credential Required: Connect your GoToHuman credentials in Submit for Human Review.

Step 5: Configure Approval Routing and Google Docs Output

Route approved items to Google Docs creation and reject items to a log placeholder.

1. Open Verify Approval Result and confirm the condition checks {{ $json.response }} equals approved.
2. Verify the true path of Verify Approval Result goes to Generate Google Doc.
3. Verify the false path of Verify Approval Result goes to Review Rejected Log (this is a placeholder node).
4. Open Generate Google Doc and set Title to {{ $('Prepare Feed Data').item.json.original_title }}.
5. If needed, specify driveId and folderId; they are currently empty (=).

Credential Required: Connect your Google Docs credentials in Generate Google Doc and Insert Article Content.

Step 6: Insert Content and Send Slack Notification

Write the approved article into the Google Doc, then notify your team in Slack and mark completion.

1. Open Insert Article Content and confirm Operation is set to update.
2. Set Document URL to {{ $json.id }} so it uses the document created by Generate Google Doc.
3. Keep the two insert actions, including {{ $('Shape Article Payload').item.json.article_body }} and the metadata block with reviewer and approval date.
4. Open Post Slack Update and verify the message uses values like {{ $('Shape Article Payload').item.json.title }} and {{ $now.toLocaleString('en-US') }}.
5. Set the Slack channel in Post Slack Update to your channel ID (currently YOUR_SLACK_CHANNEL_ID).
6. Confirm the flow continues to Publication Complete.

Credential Required: Connect your Slack OAuth2 credentials in Post Slack Update.

Step 7: Test and Activate Your Workflow

Run a manual test to verify the full flow from RSS retrieval to document creation and Slack update.

1. Click Execute Workflow and confirm Retrieve RSS Items returns at least one item.
2. Check that Compose Article with AI outputs a complete article and that Shape Article Payload extracts a title and meta description.
3. Verify that Submit for Human Review receives the data and returns an approval response.
4. Confirm that approval routes to Generate Google Doc and Insert Article Content, then that Post Slack Update posts the notification.
5. Once validated, toggle the workflow to Active for live scheduled execution.
