🎬 Create LinkedIn carousel drafts from RSS feeds with PostNitro AI and Gmail

💡 Pro Tip — If you’re pulling LinkedIn data through HTTP requests or dealing with API restrictions, there’s a community node called ScraperNode that handles this natively. It has dedicated scrapers for profiles, companies, jobs, and people search — you just pass a URL and get structured data back.
Description
Quick overview
This workflow polls the TechCrunch RSS feed for new articles, uses PostNitro AI to generate a LinkedIn carousel design from each article URL, saves it as a draft scheduled for the next day, and sends a Gmail notification for review or an error alert.
How it works
- Polls the TechCrunch RSS feed every minute for new articles.
- Limits processing to one article per poll cycle.
- Sends the article URL to PostNitro AI to generate a carousel design.
- If generation succeeds, creates a PostNitro scheduled post in DRAFT status for LinkedIn and schedules it for one day later.
- Emails a Gmail notification with the draft details and a review link.
- If generation fails, emails a Gmail alert with the error information and the article URL.
Setup
- Add PostNitro API credentials and confirm the Brand ID, Preset ID, Template ID, and LinkedIn account ID used for creating drafts.
- Add Gmail OAuth2 credentials and update the recipient email address used for success and error notifications.
- Confirm or replace the RSS feed URL and polling frequency to match the source you want to monitor.
- Update the review link in the success email body to the correct PostNitro app URL for your workspace.
