Overview
This workflow turns a campaign brief into a scheduled month of social content using an AI agent connected to your content calendar tool.
Inputs Required
- Campaign brief (goals, audience, key messages, dates)
- Brand voice guide
- Content pillars (3–5 themes)
- Platform targets (LinkedIn, Instagram, X, etc.)
Workflow Steps
- Brief ingestion — Agent reads the campaign brief and extracts key themes, dates, and CTAs.
- Calendar scaffold — Agent generates a posting schedule based on platform cadence best practices.
- Content drafting — For each slot, agent drafts caption + hashtags + CTA.
- Review queue — All drafts land in a shared doc or Notion database for human review.
- Scheduling — Approved posts are pushed to your scheduling tool via API.
Tools Used
- n8n or Make (orchestration)
- Claude or GPT-4o (drafting)
- Notion / Airtable (review queue)
- Buffer / Publer (scheduling)
What to Watch For
- Tone drift over a long month — review weekly batches, not just individual posts.
- Platform-specific formatting — agents often default to one style; prompt explicitly per platform.
