Post Blogs to Twitter & Buffer Automatically with n8n
Extract blog content from WordPress and schedule posts to social media using n8n, saving time and boosting engagement.
Why Scheduling Social Posts Manually Is Holding You Back
Consistency is key in social media, yet many marketers waste hours manually copying blog content into Twitter or Buffer. This repetitive task drains resources and delays content distribution—especially for businesses publishing frequently.
Without automation, it's easy to miss optimal posting windows or accidentally skip promoting valuable content. When every minute counts, relying on manual workflows can slow down marketing performance and limit audience reach.
How the n8n Workflow Works from WordPress to Buffer/X
This automation leverages n8n to extract blog content directly from WordPress the moment it's published. n8n pulls the post title, excerpt, featured image, and permalink using the WordPress node via scheduled polling or webhook trigger.
Next, using conditional logic and templates, n8n dynamically formats social media messages suited for Buffer or Twitter/X. Posts are queued with relevant hashtags and metadata using the Buffer node API or directly sent to Twitter via the Twitter node. This hands-off pipeline makes sure every post gets the attention it deserves instantly.
What Changes After You Implement This Automation
Before implementing this workflow, teams might spend 30–60 minutes per post crafting messages, uploading images, and copying links across platforms. Errors happen, scheduling is inconsistent, and audience engagement suffers.
After deploying n8n, every blog publication triggers a reliable, on-brand social media campaign automatically. This means faster time-to-promotion, higher content visibility, and a freed-up marketing team that can focus on strategy. For high-volume publishers, the hours saved per week quickly compound into real ROI.
Business Benefits You Can’t Afford to Ignore
By automating social media distribution after each blog publication, your brand maintains a consistent online presence without dedicated effort. Increased visibility leads to higher traffic, better SEO performance, and more engaged followers.
Marketers can repurpose their time for analysis, audience engagement, and creative strategy while reducing operation costs. The automation not only eliminates manual errors but also accelerates campaign velocity—turning content into results quickly and reliably.
Getting Started with n8n: Simple Setup, Big Impact
Setting up this workflow in n8n requires basic API credentials from your WordPress and Buffer/Twitter account. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to configure triggers, map fields, and customize messages for different platforms.
Teams can start small by automating only their Buffer queue, then expand to Twitter/X or other platforms. Once live, the workflow requires minimal maintenance and can scale effortlessly as your publishing volume grows—delivering ongoing value without added complexity.
