Automate RSS to Medium Publishing with Groq, Gemini & Slack Approval

This n8n workflow automates a complete content pipeline for tech news publishing. It fetches fresh articles from RSS feeds like The Verge, TechCrunch, and Ars Technica every 6 hours, filters for new unposted content using Google Sheets duplicate checking, and transforms them into engaging Medium-style articles using Groq and Google Gemini AI models. Image prompts are auto-generated, and professional cover images are created via Pollinations AI.

The workflow includes a robust approval system: formatted articles are saved as Google Docs for review, previews are sent to Slack channels or DMs, and it waits for explicit human approval before proceeding. Upon approval, it publishes directly to Medium via API and organizes files in Google Drive.

Benefits include massive time savings for content creators, consistent high-quality output, reduced manual errors, and scalable publishing. Ideal for bloggers, marketers, newsletters, or teams managing social media—perfect for automating tech/news content without losing quality control.
