Auto-Publish PR News to WordPress with Featured Images from RSS

This n8n workflow streamlines content publishing by monitoring an RSS feed for new PR news articles. Upon detecting a new item, it parses the article content and extracts the featured image URL using a Code node. The image is then uploaded to WordPress via HTTP Request as a media item, followed by creating a new draft post with the article content and attaching the uploaded image as the featured image.

Key benefits include polling the RSS feed every minute for real-time updates, automatic handling of images to ensure visually appealing posts, and generating drafts for editorial approval, reducing manual effort and errors. It's highly efficient for teams managing high-volume PR content.

Ideal use cases: PR and marketing teams at tech companies or news outlets wanting to aggregate and publish industry news quickly; content curators automating social proof via press mentions; bloggers or sites like Techeela integrating external PR coverage without copy-pasting. Requires WordPress REST API access with media permissions and n8n credentials setup.
