Track shared links in team channels, automatically extract and summarize the content, then generate engaging social media posts for your company's channels.

Workflow Steps

1

Zapier

Monitor link sharing

Set up a Zapier trigger that monitors specific Slack channels, Discord servers, or email threads for shared URLs. Configure filters to only capture links from trusted domains (news sites, industry blogs, research papers) and exclude common non-content links like Google Drive or internal tools.

2

Diffbot

Extract article content

Use Diffbot's Article API to automatically extract clean, structured content from the shared URLs. This includes title, author, publish date, main text, and images. Diffbot handles various content types and eliminates ads, navigation, and other page clutter to focus on the core content.

3

ChatGPT

Generate social media posts

Feed the extracted content into ChatGPT with prompts optimized for different social platforms. Create variations for LinkedIn (professional tone, industry insights), Twitter (concise, hashtag-optimized), and Facebook (engaging, conversational). Include specific instructions for tone, length, and call-to-action based on your brand voice.

4

Buffer

Schedule social posts

Automatically queue the generated posts in Buffer with optimal posting times for each platform. Set up approval workflows if needed, and organize posts by campaign or content theme. Buffer will handle cross-platform posting and provide analytics on engagement.
