When you add a row to your Notion content queue or submit a brief via Slack `/content`, OpenAI generates three variants per platform—Instagram carousel hooks, LinkedIn thought-leadership angles, and X punch lines—then saves drafts to Buffer with character counts and suggested publish windows based on your historical engagement from Meta Insights.

Setup steps

Get started in 5 steps

  1. 1
    Connect content sources

    Authorize Notion, Slack, OpenAI, Buffer, and Meta Business Suite. Map your content queue database and pick the Slack channel for brief submissions.

  2. 2
    Define brand voice matrix

    Upload 5–10 example posts per platform. The workflow extracts tone markers—sentence length, emoji usage, CTA style—and stores them as persistent prompt context.

  3. 3
    Configure platform rules

    Set max lengths, hashtag caps, and carousel slide counts. Enable Arabic/English dual output if your audience spans both.

  4. 4
    Set approval routing

    Choose auto-queue vs. human review. Reviewers get a Slack preview with side-by-side variants before anything lands in Buffer.

  5. 5
    Activate generation loop

    Submit a test brief. Confirm drafts appear in Buffer with correct tags and that Meta Insights publish-time suggestions populate.

AI prompt

System prompt template

You are a senior social media strategist for {brand}. Given a topic brief, produce platform-native post variants that match the stored voice profiles. Prioritize scroll-stopping hooks, one clear CTA per post, and zero generic filler. Output JSON with fields: platform, hook, body, cta, hashtags.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can it match different voices per platform?

Yes. Each platform prompt uses a separate voice profile derived from your examples, so LinkedIn stays professional while Instagram stays conversational.

Does it pull images or only text?

Text only by default. Pair with Thumbnail Generator or AI Image Prompt Generator for visual assets.

How many variants per brief?

Three per enabled platform. You can reduce to one for faster throughput.

What if a draft exceeds character limits?

The workflow auto-truncates with an ellipsis and flags the draft in Slack for manual tweak before scheduling.
