Latenode

Automate WordPress publishing with AI-powered research and content creation

This template turns a planner row into a WordPress.com post. A new Google Sheets row supplies the topic. Perplexity gathers sources. ChatGPT writes an SEO title, excerpt, and HTML body.

JavaScript assembles the post. Google Docs and a Drive folder store a backup. WordPress.com publishes. Google Sheets writes the live URL back to the planner. Connect Google and WordPress.com, then add a topic row to run it.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
