💡 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

This automation flow is designed to generate professional, research-backed LinkedIn posts based on a user-submitted topic and audience, enhance it with a visually aligned image prompt, and then automatically send the post and image via Gmail and/or publish it to LinkedIn. ⚙️ How It Works (Step-by-Step):

  1. 📝 Form Submission (Input Trigger)

    A user fills out a form with:

     Email

 Topic of the Post

 Target Audience

    This form submission acts as the entry point of the workflow (Form Trigger node).

  2. 🤖 LinkedIn Post Generation Agent

    An AI agent is triggered that:

     Uses Tavily API to fetch real-time web search content related to the topic.

 Processes the topic and audience data using an Ollama Chat Model.

 Generates a well-structured LinkedIn post that includes:

     Hook

     Educational insight

     Professional tone

     Source citations

     Hashtags and call to action

  3. 🎨 Image Prompt Agent

    The generated post is passed to a second agent that:

     Extracts the core message.

 Converts it into a graphic prompt using a different Ollama LLM.

 The prompt is written to be used by an image-generation model like DALL·E or Gemma/GPT-based image tools.

  4. 🖼️ Image Generation

    The image prompt is passed to a local image generation endpoint (localhost:8098) or OpenAI (api.openai.com) to generate a visual asset.

    The base64 image is converted into a file.

  5. 📩 Email Dispatch

    The post text and the generated image are then sent to the user’s email address via the Gmail node.

    The email includes:

     The full LinkedIn post

 The auto-generated image as an attachment

  6. 🔗 LinkedIn Publishing (Optional)

    If OAuth is enabled, the post can also be published directly to LinkedIn using the LinkedIn node.
