This automated WordPress workflow monitors your blog posts and alerts you when content becomes stale, helping you refresh articles before they lose their competitive edge in search results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this workflow does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning every Wednesday at 8 AM UTC, this n8n automation connects to your WordPress REST API to analyze content freshness across your entire site. It automatically classifies posts into three critical categories: decayed content (365+ days without updates), warning zone posts (270-365 days old), and healthy content. The workflow calculates decay rates, generates freshness scores, and delivers comprehensive reports via Telegram or Slack—but stays silent when all content is fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach report includes years-stale calculations for decayed posts, countdown timers for warning zone content, publish year breakdowns highlighting problematic content vintages, and word counts to help prioritize thin content that needs immediate attention.
