I don’t know if you’re lazy like me but I never categorize my wordpress posts. Well, 82 posts into my site and I decided I need to categorize them but just thinking about all the clicking gave me a heart burn.

Before and after I run the workflow!

So I created a workflow to do it for me. It passes the blogs to chatGPT to categorize and then changes the category of the post.

  • You come up with some categories first. (1 category for 10 posts on avg)
  • Then run n8n automation to get A.I. to set the category for each post.

It’s that simple. It did take me 10 hours to figure out all the little details. Incase others find it useful, I’m sharing the template here. You just need to download the template, add some credentials and you can save 10+ hours of work.

Very useful workflow, thank you for sharing!

I’m thinking of implementing something similar for tags. I’ve currently set it up on a daily schedule to grab recent posts.

I’m curious about other WordPress n8n workflows.

I’ve already automated posting, social media sharing (including auto-generated images from Stable Diffusion for featured images), and even some post writing.

What other interesting automations can be done using n8n for WordPress!

Thanks again for the helpful workflow.

Yes, the tags idea is great. I’m not too lazy to get around to it. Maybe later.

Kudos on automating your posts and social media sharing. Would love to see what you made!
