Schedule LinkedIn Drafts from Google Drive to PostNitro (Gmail)

Automate LinkedIn image drafts: pull one Google Drive file daily and schedule it in PostNitro

This n8n workflow automatically runs every day at 4 PM, selects a single file from your Google Drive “content” folder, imports it into PostNitro as an image-based LinkedIn draft scheduled for the next day, then archives the file and emails you a confirmation via Gmail.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule: triggers daily at 4 PM using a scheduled trigger.
• Checks your Google Drive folder: searches a specific folder (your configured “content” folder ID) for available files.
• Processes only one file per run: uses a limit to ensure only one file is handled each day.
• Creates a PostNitro LinkedIn draft: imports the selected file into PostNitro as an image post draft for LinkedIn, scheduled one day in the future (offset currently set to +1 day).
• Prevents duplicate processing: moves the processed file to a separate Google Drive “done” folder.
• Sends a confirmation email: via Gmail, including the processed file name.

Use cases

• Queue up LinkedIn creatives in Google Drive and have them automatically turned into scheduled image drafts in PostNitro.
• Keep a clear daily workflow by processing exactly one asset per run and archiving it to a “done” folder.
• Get a daily notification email confirming which file was scheduled for LinkedIn.
