Who this is for
Who this is for This workflow is for content teams, marketers, and solo site owners who draft posts in Google Sheets and want a reliable way to publish to WordPress automatically — including featured images and tags. What it does Pulls rows from a Google Sheet where status = READY Processes rows one-by-one (safe for multiple posts in a single run) If image_url is present, downloads the image and uploads it to WordPress Media, then uses it as featured_media Parses hashtags into clean tag slugs, checks if each tag exists in WordPress, and creates missing tags Publishes the post via the WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts) with the collected tag IDs Updates the same Google Sheets row to POSTED and writes posted_at + post_url How to set up 1) Make a copy of the Google Sheets template: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lJDeaN75c1hBk0gddsdvbeXDuxDr5Q-NablHRSjvLjQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0 2) Connect Google Sheets credentials in n8n and point the workflow to your spreadsheet + sheet tab. 3) Connect WordPress credentials (recommended: Application Password) for REST API access. 4) Ensure your sheet has columns like: id, status, title, excerpt, body, image_url, hashtags. Requirements WordPress site with REST API enabled Credentials set via n8n (no hardcoded secrets) Publicly accessible image_url (or adjust the workflow for private assets) How to customise Swap Manual Trigger for Cron to publish on a schedule Add categories, custom post types, or draft mode Extend error handling to write error_message and set status = ERROR when publishing fails.
