🚀 What is AI blog automation?
AI blog automation uses artificial intelligence tools to generate, format, and publish content to your blog—without human intervention.
With this system, you can:
- Scrape trending news or articles from the web
- Convert them into original SEO-optimized posts
- Automatically schedule and publish them to your WordPress site
- Enhance posts with AI-generated images
It’s a game changer for bloggers, content marketers, affiliate marketers, and business owners who want to publish consistently without spending hours writing or managing a content team.
🛠️ Tools You’ll Need for Automation
To automate your blog posts, we’ll use the following:
- Make.com: A no-code automation platform to connect tools like Google Sheets, OpenAI, and WordPress.
- OpenAI ChatGPT API: For generating content.
- WordPress: To publish the posts.
- GravityWrite (optional but powerful): For advanced blog generation with real-time data, SEO keywords, and built-in image generation.
🧪 Step 1: Set Up Make.com for Blog Automation
Make.com allows you to create automated workflows called “Scenarios.” These scenarios link services like Google Sheets, OpenAI, and WordPress in a few clicks.
1.1 Create Your Free Make.com Account
- Go to Make.com
- Click Get Started for Free
- Sign in using your Google account
1.2 Import Pre-Built Automation
- Click the import blueprint option in Make.com
- Upload the pre-built automation file (provided in the video or blog)
- Click Save to load the scenario
📊 Step 2: Connect Google Sheets to Feed Articles
We’ll use a Google Sheet to input URLs of articles you want to convert into blog posts.
2.1 Create the Google Sheet
- In your browser, go to
sheets.new - Rename the sheet (e.g., “Blog Links”)
- In cell A1, type “Blog URL
- Paste the article URLs below this heading
2.2 Link Sheet to Make.com
- Go back to Make.com and click the Google Sheets module
- Authenticate with your Google account
- Choose your sheet
- Select the option to read all links in the sheet
Now your automation can pull links from the spreadsheet and use them to generate blog posts.
🤖 Step 3: Set Up ChatGPT for Content Creation
Make.com uses the OpenAI API to generate the blog content.
3.1 Get Your OpenAI API Key
- Go to OpenAI API
- Buy credits (minimum \$5 gives 2 million tokens)
- Create a new Secret Key
- Copy and paste this into the ChatGPT module in Make.com
3.2 Add Your Organization ID
- Found in your OpenAI dashboard
- Paste it into Make.com to complete the connection
Repeat this for all ChatGPT modules in your workflow.
🌐 Step 4: Connect to WordPress
Next, connect your WordPress website so your posts can be published automatically.
4.1 Install the Make Connector Plugin
- In WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New
- Search and install Make Connector
- Activate the plugin
4.2 Get Your API Key
- Navigate to Make plugin in WordPress
- Copy the API key and paste it into Make.com’s WordPress module
4.3 Choose Post Settings
- You can set posts to be Drafts (recommended) or Published immediately
- Click Save
✅ Test Your Automation
5.1 Add an Article URL to Google Sheet
- Paste a URL into the sheet (e.g., an article about nature)
5.2 Run the Scenario
- Go to Make.com
- Click Run Once
Check your WordPress dashboard. You should see a new draft post with:
- An AI-generated headline
- Subheadings
- Original content
- A featured image
🔁 Automate Blog Scheduling
Manual runs are great, but let’s take it a step further and fully automate the schedule.
6.1 Add Multiple URLs in Google Sheet
- Paste all your article links
6.2 Set a Schedule in Make.com
- Click the Schedule icon
- Set your automation to run at regular intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes)
- Click Activate Scenario
The automation will now create a new blog post every 15 minutes and save it as a draft.
