Fixing a Broken n8n Workflow for Reliable Social Media Automation

Benedict wanted a system to automate his social media approvals and content flow without constant manual checks. His n8n workflow was pulling data, but it kept breaking during processing, causing delays and inconsistent results.

I reviewed the structure and found issues with how items were being looped, delayed, and aggregated. I rebuilt the workflow logic, removed unnecessary waits, optimized the loop handling, and ensured clean data aggregation before sending it to Google Sheets.

After the fix, his automation ran smoothly, processed hundreds of items without errors, and required no manual intervention.

Tools used: n8n, HTTP nodes, Dropbox API, Google Sheets, workflow optimization techniques.
