💡 Notes & Tips
- The Code in JavaScript node is robust against malformed or extra text in Gemini output — it sanitizes Markdown and reconstructs clean JSON safely.
- You can replace Supabase with any CMS or Webhook endpoint by editing the “Publish to Supabase” node.
- The Replicate model used is
ideogram-ai/ideogram-v3-turbo— you can swap it with Stable Diffusion or another model for different aesthetics. - Use the
slugfield in your blog URLs for SEO-friendly links. - Test with one manual execution before activating scheduled runs.
- If Slack notification fails, verify the token scopes and channel permissions.
