Automate LinkedIn Posts with AI

This workflow automates the management of LinkedIn content publishing. It can extract information to be published from a Notion database, utilize AI to optimize text formatting, and combine it with images for layout. Users only need to set a scheduled trigger, and the system will automatically publish the content at the specified time, updating the status of the corresponding post in Notion to "Done" after publishing. This process simplifies the cumbersome steps of manual publishing, improving both publishing efficiency and content quality, making it suitable for individuals and teams for social media management.
