    Beginner step-by-step: How to use this workflow in n8n

    Import the workflow

    1. Download the workflow file using the Download button on this page.
    2. Open the n8n editor.
    3. Use "Import from File" to upload the workflow.

    Configure credentials and settings

    1. Add your OpenAI API Key in the Langchain LLM Chat OpenAI node credentials section.
    2. Add WordPress API credentials in all HTTP Request nodes accessing the WordPress REST API.
    3. Update the RSS feed URL in the RSS Feed Trigger node with your blog's feed.
    4. If needed, change any IDs or fields related to your WordPress setup in the nodes.

    Test and activate

    1. Run a manual test to confirm new posts are detected and tagged.
    2. If the test works, activate the workflow to run automatically on schedule.
    3. You can host the workflow on your own server for full control by using self-host n8n.

    Common edge cases and errors

    • If the workflow shows "401 Unauthorized" errors, check WordPress API keys and permissions.
    • If tags do not show on posts, verify the correct tag ID arrays are sent to the update node.
    • If AI tags format is wrong, confirm the settings in Structured and Auto-fixing Output Parser nodes.

    Customization ideas

    • Change tag case style by editing the JavaScript in the "Return missing tags" code node.
    • Add automatically generated categories by calling the categories REST API like with tags.
    • Increase batch size to process many posts at once in the "Loop over articles" node.
