Overview

Unlock Effortless Content Organization with this AI Agent

This n8n AI Agent automates the tedious task of tagging blog posts in WordPress. It monitors an RSS feed for new content, intelligently generates 3-5 relevant tags using OpenAI by analyzing the post's content, and then seamlessly updates your WordPress site. The agent checks for existing tags, creates new ones if necessary, and ensures your articles are perfectly categorized for optimal discoverability and SEO performance. Put your WordPress tagging on autopilot and focus on creating great content.

Key Features & Benefits

  • AI-Driven Tag Generation: Leverages OpenAI's language models to understand article content and suggest accurate, relevant tags (default: 3-5 title-cased tags).
  • Automated RSS Monitoring: Triggers automatically when new posts appear in your specified RSS feed.
  • WordPress Integration: Fetches existing tags, creates new tags via the WordPress REST API, and updates posts with the final tag set.
  • Smart Tag Management: Checks if suggested tags already exist in WordPress; creates only the missing ones, ensuring clean tag taxonomy.
  • SEO Enhancement: Improves on-page SEO by ensuring consistent, relevant, and comprehensive tagging for all your content.
  • Time Savings: Frees up significant time by automating a manual and often overlooked part of content publishing.
  • Improved Discoverability: Helps readers and search engines find your content more easily through well-organized tags.
  • Sub-workflow Ready: Can be used as a standalone workflow or integrated as a sub-workflow into larger content automation pipelines.

Use Cases

  • For B2C e-commerce: Automatically tag blog posts reviewing new products or industry trends with relevant keywords, driving targeted traffic and improving user navigation to related offerings.
  • For B2B SaaS: Ensure all technical articles, case studies, and product updates are consistently tagged for better searchability on your blog, aiding lead generation and customer education.
  • Content Creators & Solopreneurs: Eliminate the manual chore of tagging, allowing more time for content creation and strategic business activities while maintaining an organized and SEO-friendly blog.
  • Marketing Agencies: Streamline content publishing workflows for multiple clients by deploying this agent to handle WordPress tagging automatically, ensuring quality and consistency.

Prerequisites

  • An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
  • OpenAI API Key with access to a suitable model (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4).
  • WordPress site with REST API enabled.
  • WordPress credentials (Application Password recommended for API access).
  • URL of the RSS feed for the blog to monitor.

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
  2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
  3. Configure the 'RSS Feed Trigger' node: Set the 'URL' parameter to your blog's RSS feed URL. Adjust poll times as needed.
  4. Configure the 'OpenAI Chat Model' connection: In the 'Generate tags for article' node (which uses an LLM Chain), select or create your OpenAI credentials. You can also customize the prompt here if you want different tag styles or quantities.
  5. Configure WordPress Integration:
    • In the 'GET WP tags', 'POST WP tags', and 'GET updated WP tags' (HTTP Request) nodes, update the 'URL' to your WordPress site's API endpoint for tags (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/tags) and configure the WordPress API credentials.
    • In the 'Wordpress' node (named 'Wordpress'), configure your WordPress credentials and ensure the operation is set to update posts correctly with the new tags.
  6. Verify Tag Formatting: The workflow logic (e.g., in 'Return missing tags' Code node, and parameter expressions in 'POST WP tags') assumes specific casing for tags (e.g., title case for names, dash-case for slugs). Adjust these if your WordPress setup or preferences differ.
  7. Test the workflow with a new blog post or by manually running it with sample data from the RSS feed.
  8. Activate the workflow to enable fully automated tagging.
