0:57

1:03

1:10
media uh post Etc so at the end of the video you will know how to automatically
1:16
create a WordPress blog post that consists of multiple paragraphs with images placed in between them the the
1:24
post will have SEO meta title meta description the post will be assigned to
1:29
to multiple categories and multiple tags once published it will automatically trigger another scenario to create a
1:36
social media post for example okay so let's head to make so
1:44
I'm going to be using full AI uh flux module to create the images you can use
1:51
whatever you want um I soon will have a video about how
1:58
you can generate images with flux
2:03
ideogram recraft using full AI because I had a video up here um it is kind of
2:10
outdated I have received the feedback from you in the comments so I will
2:16
update it uh in one of the upcoming videos so but let's get for this one so
2:21
how to correctly upload an image to your
2:27
WordPress uh this this you need to use this WordPress create media item module
2:34
and this requires the image to be in binary data form uh so you need to use
2:41
HTTP module get a file instead of using URL
2:47
um what this module does it's always uses the same file name and if you don't
2:55
address it all the images that you're going to upload will be the same
3:00
so what you need to do is instead of leaving like this you need to click on map you need to leave the data as it is
3:09
but you need to change the file name for file name we're going to use our keyword from
3:17
spreadsheet that we're going to use in this uh video uh we're going to create
3:22
blog posts about cars we're going to assign categories we're going to assign tags and we're going to create images
3:28
related to the posts so um the file name will be keyword Dash and we need to set up a
3:36
variable that's going to change every time so we don't have the same file name so it doesn't ducate the
3:43
images so one thing that in my scenario changes all the time it's the request ID
3:50
to create the image so I'm going to be using that and at the end I'm going to
3:55
type in jpeg as this is the extension of the file we can also add a title here
4:01
for the image that will I'm going to use the keyword alternative text I'm going
4:06
to use the keyword and caption I'm going to use the keyword yeah so here I have
4:12
uploaded one image to my WordPress as you can see it has the default file name
4:17
file. JPEG and if I would generate another file it would be different but it
4:25
wouldn't show up different because it has the same file name again file. JPEG but we address that here now this new uh
4:34
image that we're going to upload will have a different file name so let me run
4:39
this once so this is uh generating now the image it made the request it now has
4:48
a 20 second sleep timer it's going to pull the request from the API upload the
4:53
image to make and then from make we're going to upload it to Wordpress um in a second I will show you
5:01
uh what would happen if I we didn't change the file name in this module so
5:06
as you can see here it again gave us the file in a binary
5:13
data uh and the file name is file. jpeg so all the time this is the same but as
5:21
we changed it in this module uh if I go to my media library refresh
5:28
it uh I get get the file name that's consists of the keyword and it consists
5:35
of the request ID that I added it here yeah so this is how you upload
5:44
the image to your WordPress now the next one I'm going to
5:49
change the color of this as red now next how to handle WordPress category and tag
5:57
creation you can of course you you can uh create the categories in the
6:03
WordPress back end uh but I'm going to do it a little bit differently here because I want to set uh categories
6:11
here in the spreadsheet and I don't know if they exist in WordPress or they don't exist uh the same applies for the text
6:19
so I'm going to now uh create a a little scenario here I'm
6:26
going to unlink this and as you can see I have here multiple
6:34
categories they are comma separated and I also have the tags uh
6:40
comma separated so let's start with the category so the first thing we're going
6:47
to set a variable that's going to split our uh
6:54
categories if there are multiple into um separate
7:00
uh Fields so the variable name is going to be
7:07
categories and the variable value we're going to select from our spreadsheet Okay click save uh sorry the
7:16
variable value we're going to use a function called split uh where is
7:26
it split and here we're going to use our
7:31
uh value from sheet and here we going in the next one
7:37
we need to set what is the separator in my case as you can see here it's comma
7:45
so I'm going to add comma let's run this once and as you can see I get an array
7:52
of categories I have two categories cars and luxury cars so the next thing that
7:58
we need to add is an iterator that's going to iterate through all the
8:04
categories that we got from this uh set variable module we're going to use
8:10
select this array and then uh the next step is to
8:16
have a WordPress module that's going to create a
8:21
category and here I need to select my me.com YouTube testing connection for
8:28
WordPress the name of the category will be value of
8:34
iterator and we're going to leave description slug uh parent category
8:39
blank uh of course you can insert here CH GPD to write the description but uh
8:45
for this video I won't do it so here is an interesting thing
8:50
uh let's say you run this uh scenario and if there is existing category with
8:58
the same name this module going to throw an error what we need to do is we need to right click here add error
9:07
Handler and we need a WordPress module that's going to find this category that
9:12
already exists so we're going to choose search
9:19
category and the search is value of the
9:25
iterator and limit will be set to one
9:31
and yeah and after this we need to
9:36
add roll back uh I'm sorry not roll back resume
9:45
module uh to resume the road that's going to continue after this module so
9:52
here we're going to select the category ID that we're going to get from this module and this is going to resume the
9:59
scenario here and once the category is created we want
10:06
to add text um
10:14
aggregator I'm going to show you why we need that in later in this video uh we're going to
10:21
use iterator as our source module and the text uh will be
10:29
category ID and we need to click show Advance setting row separator will be other and
10:36
we're going to separate these values that we get from this module also from this one by
10:42
commas and we're going to rename this as
10:48
categories okay after this we're going to do the
10:55
same structure for TX so
11:01
plus uh tool set variable uh this will be
11:09
tags variable value will be tag from I have tag in column C so column
11:19
C save uh so this will be then we have
11:24
iterator uh we're GNA use
11:31
tags um sorry I forgot we need to use again this
11:37
split function so um we go here
11:45
split we're going to select column C separate by commas so we insert comma
11:52
here if you have separated them by comma space like this then obviously in
11:58
make.com you need need also write comma space but I going to separate them by
12:03
commas so okay now iterator we're going to run
12:09
this module only we're going to have like this to get some sample response to
12:15
this module one comma 2 okay and the tags is one and two iterator we're going
12:23
to use tags from this module and now we're going to use
12:30
WordPress module create a
12:36
tag okay and the name will be value of
12:42
uh of the iterator that's behind here so the value of
12:47
this again if you want tag description you can insert here um CH GPT module to
12:53
write the description and again we're going to add an error Handler in case the tag already
12:59
exist in our WordPress uh we're going to use WordPress module
13:06
search tags and the value that we're going to search is the
13:13
value from iterator I need to select the correct uh
13:19
here limit is one and we need to add the
13:25
resume uh module to feedback the value that we get from here into our
13:33
scenario so like this and after that we going
13:42
to have another text aggregator
13:52
module tools text aggregator source source
13:57
model will be iterated the text will be tag ID and show advaned
14:06
settings uh row separator will be other and separator will be comma this should
14:13
be exactly like this it should be separated by comma so once we're going to publish our post we can update
14:20
multiple categories and multiple tags in one go via API call I'm going to show
14:26
you how this is done later in the video
14:33
so so we have now this we can test this out so let's uh run
14:43
once as you can see I didn't have any categories but I had two
14:49
tags in my oh I didn't use the right WordPress so
14:56
let's rerun this choose where to start choose
15:03
manually uh Let's do mercedesbenz let's run
15:09
this as you can see uh this is correct this is correct so yeah as you
15:17
can see I had one category existing and one one one category did exist so it run
15:25
through the error Handler patch the category return to
15:31
main flow and here I didn't have the
15:36
tags so it created two tags and here if I check this category uh module I can
15:43
see three uh comma five so these are IDs for the
15:49
category and here I have six and seven and these are the IDS for the
15:56
tags so this is how you prop L create
16:01
uh categories and tags if you want to fully automate this process instead of
16:07
having them in the back end so we have done
16:17
this and now uh how to add multiple tags to a WordPress post and how to add
16:24
multiple variable categories to a WordPress post so we need to create the WordPress post
16:30
right so we're going to have our CH GPT do this for you for US based on the
16:38
keyword so open AI uh create completion and here I'm going
16:48
to be specific I usually add 16,000 completion tokens here um let's use all
16:57
three Mini and let's write a
17:06
prompt um
17:15
so so this is assistant sorry this is a system
17:23
prompt which explain what the chud GPT is and what she what he should do the
17:28
next one is a user prompt uh right here we describe what we
17:34
want him to do
17:40
so if this um if you want I will have this um anyways I will have this
17:46
scenario in the description of the video if you want to download it the this
17:52
prompt will be there and you can build upon this uh your own uh
17:57
workflow uh if if you need this uh after this we need to add Tool
18:03
uh sorry after this we need to add Json a module that's going to PGE
18:12
Json uh here uh we're going to use the result from chud GPT oh one important
18:19
thing what I always do with chud GPT is I add a comment commentary from myself
18:26
not to add a specific information uh to the response
18:32
so these little three thingies
18:38
so this is just a sample basic prompt um for this
18:44
video of course you can go to CH GPT and ask him to write a
18:50
better prompt uh you can write a better prompt yourself it's just so I can show
18:57
you how this works so uh uh after we added ad Json par Json
19:03
module we need to run this so we can get the variables so I'm going to paste the sample Json that I give him here uh here
19:12
as you can see I will have title paragraph one two 3
19:17
4 now um we're going to have a WordPress module create a post and now I will
19:25
explain you uh about the categories and TXS I need just to select the correct uh
19:35
connection um so we're going to map out the title we're going to get
19:41
from our P Json module title and the content will be paragraph
19:48
one paragraph 2 paragraph three paragraph 4 uh this is useful so we can Implement
19:57
images here I'm going to show you how to do it uh while we get once we get there
20:03
and the type will be post um excerpt we're going to leave
20:09
empty it's going to use the title to create excerpt sorry uh excerpt we're
20:15
going to leave empty if you want you can ask jbd to write the excerpt uh the slug
20:20
will will leave empty because the title will be used as slug status we're going
20:26
to set up to draft
20:31
format we don't change so if you would like to manually always use the same categories
20:39
then you can obviously select them here and if I select this for every post
20:45
these two categories will be used if I use map function I can't add multiple
20:52
categories here it doesn't work from make uh the same applies for the tags I
20:58
can select default categories that I'm going to use all the uh default tags
21:03
that I'm going to use all the time or I can use map function to use if I if I
21:09
want to have a unique one tag per post then I can OB use this field but if I
21:15
want to use multiple tags then I this won't work so we're going to leave this empty author we're going to leave empty
21:23
and featured media we're going to leave empty for now
21:29
so uh let's um let's run this once see
21:35
how our article looks and then we're going to add categories tags images and
21:42
other stuff that I showed you at the start of the video so run
21:50
once we already had these two categories uh we didn't have the tags so
21:58
it creat created the tags
22:08
here now it's writing the article for us parsing the Json and creating the
22:14
WordPress post let's head to Wordpress uh posts all posts I'm going
22:20
to open a new tab and here you can see we have a Porsche 911 a Timeless Legend
22:26
let's click preview so here we have a four uh paragraph
22:35
article so okay let me show you how to update tags and categories uh to add
22:42
multiple tags and multiple categories so we're going to have after the create post module we're going to use WordPress
22:50
module make an API call the URL will be posts slash and the post ID from here
23:00
method is going to be post and here in body we going to type in a small Json so open the curly
23:11
brackets uh have tags
23:17
here and have square brackets and in between we're going to
23:23
put the text aggregator which Aggregates the tag tag
23:30
IDs here close this and close the with the curly
23:35
brackets we're going to click save and we're going to duplicate
23:41
this clone and we just going to change from Tex
23:48
to categories and change the variable to the text aggregator that
23:56
Aggregates the category IDs and click save I don't know why we need
24:03
to make two diff two separate modules but I tried multiple times and it did
24:08
not work from one request so let's check if now our article has
24:17
multiple tags and multiple categories so choose manually we're
24:22
going to write about mercedesbenz S-Class let's run this one
24:34
so as you can see we already have two existing categories and we have two
24:40
existing tags so it doesn't create the new ones but instead it
24:45
finds existing ones in our
24:52
WordPress so here it updated the tags and it updated the category and let's
24:59
check if that's true yeah so you can see
25:04
mercedesbenz S-Class is assigned to two categories
25:09
assigned with two tags and if we watch the article here
25:16
you can see it's in two categories it consists of four paragraphs so this is
25:22
how you add multiple categories and multiple tags to your WordPress post
25:28
using make an API call modules uh for every instance one for
25:34
tags and one for categories so we covered this
25:42
part uh this the next one is very simple how to retrieve all metadata from a
25:48
WordPress post we need to do that so we can understand what we need to what we
25:53
want to and what we need to update so we're just going to use WordPress
25:59
get a post module and the the the type of metadata
26:05
that you will have depends on what plugins you use make sure uh in your make.com connection uh integration with
26:12
WordPress under cost um under make yeah so we need to have these all
26:21
enabled once you run once you will be able to this you will be able to um
26:28
update this so we need to check them all save settings and now you can access all
26:33
these metadata Fields like Yost uh BP cell title if you're using
26:41
for example uh another U plugin for your SEO it's going to be different but if
26:48
you're using Y you're going to use this field copy it uh name will be this one description
26:59
will be metod description and you can even have your uh Focus keyword as well
27:04
so we're going to add another
27:12
item where's our Focus
27:17
keyword here and focus keyword we're going to choose from our
27:22
spreadsheet and here we're gonna have another
27:30
uh chpt module that's going to write as this SEO meta title and SEO meta
27:38
description so model will be o03
27:49
mini come on user
27:56
uh uh result the full article respond okay I'm going to click
28:04
save just going to head here and copy the comments that I made
28:09
to this CH GPT to make this
28:15
faster copy this so we can have it handy
28:20
add Json module um P Jason
28:28
and paste here uh sorry we're going to use the result from our Jud
28:35
gbt and let's run this module only and paste here what we copied the sample
28:41
Json so it gives us two variables and now we're going to have these variables
28:46
here in our WordPress post so title is SEO title and Method
28:53
description is SEO method description so let's run another article
28:58
I can delete this one and we need to choose where to start
29:05
because we run out of keywords from our
29:13
spreadsheet okay let's head to our
29:21
post so it has written an article added the Focus key praise here uh add added
29:28
the SEO title metod description also we have the categories
29:36
assigned tags assigned and now what we need is we need only the
29:42
images so here I have the image
29:50
generation so what was the list so how to add
29:56
metadata to a WordPress press post we done just that
30:01
now now how to retrieve an image URL and insert the image between paragraphs in
30:07
WordPress post so I'm going to unlink this select this with holding my shift
30:15
move here connect uh this Json
30:23
to this one and after the create media item I'm
30:28
going to add a module that's going to get media
30:34
item and this is what exactly this module does it gives us the URL of the
30:41
uploaded image so uh media item id we select from this create media item
30:49
module that we set up way at the start of the video uh yeah
30:58
and what we're going to do is I think we need like one for the main image two three
31:05
images right for this article so we're going to go to flow control we're going to
31:11
select uh
31:16
repeater uh we're going to set to three repeats because we want three images so we want this part to run three times and
31:24
after it we're going to set an array aggregator and we're going to aggregate
31:31
all the results that we get from these modules so the source module will be
31:38
repeater and what we need to aggregate is Media item id because for the
31:45
featured image we will need ID and for
31:50
the images that we're going to include in between paragraphs we will need Source URL so I like this
32:01
and we know that we're going to have three images so we can connect this
32:08
WordPress create a post module now we're going to add the featured
32:14
image here featured image featured media ID we're going to get from our
32:21
array it's going to be featured media Item ID and we're going to select the
32:27
first image from the three that we're going to generate as the featured media
32:32
and then here in between the paragraphs uh let's say paragraph one
32:38
and two we're going to insert this I've written this code here because
32:46
I use it in other scenarios and we going to paste it here so and here we're going to use the
32:53
source URL from array instead of Med media Item ID and this will
33:00
be uh the source URL number two because the number one image we use as featured
33:07
image in total we will have three images first one first one is the featured
33:14
image the second one will be this one and there will be third one after the
33:21
second paragraph
33:26
and so third one goes here and the alt
33:32
text I'm just going to set the keyword for both of them you can have ch GPT to
33:37
write the alt text if you want so let's click save let's align this and look how
33:46
big at the end we have our scenario let's run and basically what we
33:53
would what what we would get from this is we get a Blog po post with images
34:00
with SEO title with SEO method description with multiple categories and
34:06
multiple tags and then as a bonus I'm going to show you how you can uh create a script
34:14
U that you're going to add your uh to your WordPress if you obviously need it
34:21
uh once you click that publish post button you're going to automatically trigger a web hook that is something
34:28
that I you use myself uh for some projects uh because I never
34:33
automatically publish these posts I always review them I publish them as drafts from make.com I go to my
34:40
WordPress review them and then I click publish from WordPress and to instantly
34:47
trigger a scenario you need to add a script so as you can see here it
34:53
generates for us three images One image is already generated it has been
34:58
uploaded if I go to my WordPress uh media
35:03
library uh here we have the first image this will be our main image uh soon the second image will be
35:11
uploaded as well they are pretty similar because uh
35:17
I use the same prompt for all of them uh and uh now it's making the third
35:24
image uh yeah so if you have any any um
35:30
um if you need any help to implementing this WordPress Automation in your own
35:35
business you can uh schedule a meeting with me the link is in the description
35:41
if you don't want to bother with all this but you want the automation you can request a custom work as well my contact
35:47
details are in in in the description of this video so this is done let's check
35:53

38:32
here so we can get it from here let's go
38:40
here and it will send the post ID with the web
38:45
hook so that if you need to have uh
38:53
um a post URL let's say or post title or post content and you can use um a
39:01
WordPress module get a
39:07
post and use our Mega yes

39:38
draft here and we're going to publish it and I now it should trigger this web
39:48

39:54

40:02
the post ID here so we can connect this one um select post ID from our webbook
40:11
response just cancel and again just
40:18
correct type is post post ID from our web
40:25

40:44
process so let's change this change this to four
40:50
Images uh let's update our create a post
40:56
module uh copy this code paste it in between the last paragraphs and changes
41:03
this to number four yep and let's run this
41:12
once so it will create the post for us he checked if the categories that I have
41:19
set up here exist or if they don't exist if they don't exist this scenario
41:25
creates them the same appes for the tags uh it now is writing the article
41:32
then it's going to parse it then it's going to write the SEO title and SEO metod description parse it create for
41:41
images using full AI uh with flux mod model upload the
41:50
images to Wordpress and retrieve the image uh the image
41:59
details and create a post on WordPress update categories and
42:07
update tags once I will review the post here in the back
42:13
end click on publish it will trigger this additional scenario
42:21
automatically and retrieve all the post data that I can use later if I want to build here let's say social Med media
42:29
automation so how is our scenario doing so the first image is done we can go
42:36
check them out in our media tab so as you can see this will be the main image
42:41
for our Porsche post then we're going to have another
42:48
image it already is generated oh this one's good
42:57
and now we're going to have our third image still waiting on this 20 second
43:05
delay now it should be here yeah
43:11
wow look how good this image is I really recommend you to use the flux uh from
43:19
Fall AI uh to generate the images very very realistic and if you tweak the
43:26
prompt make it better you can achieve any results you desire so all the four
43:33
Images are uploaded and the post has been created let's head to our media library
43:40
refresh yeah we have four Images now if I go to my posts I have a draft post
43:50
with the post has two categories and two
43:55
tags if I click on edit and I'm going to click it published
44:03
publish and now as you can see immediately this scenario has already
44:09
run it retrieved the post ID and here it retrieved all the post
44:16
details that I can reuse in other culations so let's check the
