How do I automate my content pipeline with AI agents and workflows (n8n, Zapier)?
The short answer
Once a format works manually, wire it into a workflow: n8n or Zapier connects your idea source (a sheet, a YouTube link, trending posts) to an AI drafting step and a publisher like Blotato or Buffer. Sabrina Ramonov's Sheets to n8n to Blotato pipeline posts everywhere automatically; Greg Isenberg calls this whole style 'vibe marketing', one person operating like a team of five. Automate distribution and formatting, never the original thinking, or you are just shipping slop faster.
A quick orientation. The real value is below: resources worth your time, from people who've actually done it.
