Workflow diagram for LinkedIn Auto-Poster

1

Daily Research (6 AM)

Fetches trends in parallel. Pulls data from Hacker News, Reddit (8 subreddits), and Product Hunt. Merges sources, runs 7-layer deduplication, and ranks by relevance. AI then generates 3 distinct LinkedIn drafts (Build Story, Insight, How-To).

Smart Publish (Tue/Wed/Thu)

Runs at 9:30 AM. AI Selector analyzes all drafts to pick the winner based on day alignment, angle variety, and hook strength. The winner passes through an AI Quality Gate (scored 1-10 on 5 criteria). Approved posts publish instantly; others are revised or skipped.

Implementation

Setup Steps

1

Google Sheets Config

Create a sheet with columns: Post ID, Angle, Hook Line, Full Post, Hashtags, Trend Referenced, Word Count, Best Day, Status, LinkedIn URL, AI Review, Revised Post, etc.

2

Ollama & Models

Install Ollama locally and pull your preferred models (e.g., ollama pull mistral). Ensure sufficient resources for inference.

3

LinkedIn OAuth

Register an app at developer.linkedin.com with w_member_social scope. Get your Person URN and credentials.

4

Telegram & Prompts

Create a bot via @BotFather. Configure system prompts for the AI Writer, AI Selector, and Quality Gate nodes to match your brand voice.

5

Testing

Run the research flow manually first. Verify drafts appear in your sheet. Then test the publish flow manually before enabling the schedule.

6

Customization

Tweak AI Selector weights, adjust Quality Gate thresholds, or add more sources by duplicating the fetch/normalize pattern.
