Automate LinkedIn Posts with Verge Tech Updates & Airtable

Transform your LinkedIn presence into a tech industry thought leadership hub with this fully automated workflow that publishes daily content from The Verge's latest tech updates, complete with AI-generated images and seamless Airtable logging.

What this workflow does

This intelligent n8n automation runs daily at 6:35 PM, executing a sophisticated content curation and publishing process. It fetches the latest articles from The Verge RSS feed, keeping only the 10 most recent tech stories. Using Google Gemini AI, the workflow analyzes article titles, content, authors, and publish dates to select the most engaging story for your LinkedIn audience.

The Gemini-powered agent then transforms the selected article into clean, categorized content with structured output for Airtable storage plus a professionally formatted LinkedIn post. The workflow generates eye-catching images using Gemini's image generation capabilities based on AI-created prompts, then automatically publishes the complete post to your LinkedIn profile. Finally, it logs all details including post text, original article URL, timestamp, and the resulting LinkedIn post URL directly into your Airtable database.
