Example

Example workflow

One realistic scenario.

A founder receives an email with 10 ideas at 9:00 AM. They reply with the number 3 to approve idea 3. The AI agent generates 3 drafts for idea 3 and emails them for review. The founder replies with 1 to select the first draft, and the agent publishes the post to LinkedIn via the API. All steps are logged in Google Sheets and a confirmation email is sent with a preview of the post.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about using the AI agent for LinkedIn content.

It is an automated workflow that generates LinkedIn post ideas, drafts multiple options, and publishes the final post after you approve by email. All steps are tracked in Google Sheets for traceability. The process uses Gemini AI for idea and draft generation, Gmail for approvals, and the LinkedIn API for posting.

The agent emails a list of ideas and drafts. You reply with a number to select the idea, which triggers the next phase. You can also request a draft to be revised before final selection. The system then moves to drafting and publishing after your confirmation.

Yes, the LinkedIn API supports posting to personal or company accounts. You configure which account to publish to, and the agent uses that target for automatic posting. Access and permissions are managed through standard LinkedIn API authentication within the integration.

The workflow relies on your usual platforms (Gmail, Google Sheets, LinkedIn). Data is stored in your accounts only and processed by the AI agent within those services. Sensitive details should be avoided in automated drafts, and you can limit access via your existing security settings.

You can pause the email approvals workflow at any time by halting the trigger. When you resume, the agent will continue from the latest approved idea. You also have the option to skip drafting or publishing steps if needed.

Yes, you can specify audience, topics, and tone for idea generation. Draft length and style can be adjusted by parameters in Gemini, allowing longer thought leadership posts or concise updates. You can also request a different number of drafts per idea.

If a publish attempt fails, the agent logs the error in Google Sheets and retries after a defined interval. It also notifies you via email with a clear failure reason and recommended next steps. The failure handling preserves the approval history for audit.
