I'm Writing About My Blog Publishing System
I've been working on automating my blog publishing flow.
Took me longer to document than to build. 😅
The system:
- Airtable as my CMS
- n8n for all the automation logic
- WordPress as the final destination
- Python API for featured image generation
The workflow:
- Create featured image in Airtable → auto-generates 1200×628 image in a couple of seconds
2. Write in Notion → syncs to Airtable automatically
3. Change Status to "Post to WordPress" → live blog post in 15-20 seconds
The post I'm working on breaks down:
- How the Variables table lets me switch between test and production with one checkbox
- The Airtable automation script that routes everything to n8n
- Why HTTP Request nodes in n8n kept breaking my multi-image handling (and how I fixed it)
- How I made Rank Math SEO fields accessible via REST API
- The complete markdown → Gutenberg conversion logic
Once I publish, I'll drop the blog post here and the complete implementation (n8n workflow JSONs, Airtable scripts, base template, WordPress config, Python API) will go into the premium tier.
Happy to answer questions if anyone's building something similar. The multi-image URL mapping was the trickiest part to figure out.

Own your automation infrastructure with n8n. No limits, no lock-in. Built on Docker using OpenTofu (Terraform) & IaC. Full control, predictable costs.
