Overview

This workflow turns a campaign brief into a scheduled month of social content using an AI agent connected to your content calendar tool.

Inputs Required

  • Campaign brief (goals, audience, key messages, dates)
  • Brand voice guide
  • Content pillars (3–5 themes)
  • Platform targets (LinkedIn, Instagram, X, etc.)

Workflow Steps

  1. Brief ingestion — Agent reads the campaign brief and extracts key themes, dates, and CTAs.
  2. Calendar scaffold — Agent generates a posting schedule based on platform cadence best practices.
  3. Content drafting — For each slot, agent drafts caption + hashtags + CTA.
  4. Review queue — All drafts land in a shared doc or Notion database for human review.
  5. Scheduling — Approved posts are pushed to your scheduling tool via API.

Tools Used

  • n8n or Make (orchestration)
  • Claude or GPT-4o (drafting)
  • Notion / Airtable (review queue)
  • Buffer / Publer (scheduling)

What to Watch For

  • Tone drift over a long month — review weekly batches, not just individual posts.
  • Platform-specific formatting — agents often default to one style; prompt explicitly per platform.
