🚀 AI Blog Publisher Workflow for Dev.to

A complete automation system that takes a simple idea and turns it into a professional blog post — fully written, illustrated with images, and published as a draft on Dev.to. ✍️🖼️

This workflow is built for creators, developers, marketers, and businesses who want to scale their online presence without hiring copywriters or spending hours writing content manually.

⚙️ How It Works

The workflow starts from a single input — your Post Idea 💡.
You can provide it manually in the Set node, or automate it further by connecting Google Sheets, a Webhook, or even a chatbot to feed new article topics into the system.

From there, the workflow does everything for you:

1. AI Article Planning 📝
   The AI Agent creates a full outline of the article. It decides on structure, sections, keywords, and even suggests prompts for relevant images.
2. AI Image Generation 🎨
   Based on the planned outline, the system generates images with Gemini (or ChatGPT as an alternative). These visuals are automatically uploaded to your Cloudinary account so they’re always accessible online.
3. Article Writing in Markdown 📄
   The AI writer takes the plan and images, then produces a professional, clean Markdown article.
4. Publishing to Dev.to 🌐
   Finally, the workflow publishes the result as a draft on Dev.to via API.

🛠️ Setup Steps

1. Connect your OpenAI account for article planning and writing.
2. Add your Dev.to API key.
3. Configure your Cloudinary account for image hosting.
4. (Optional) Add your Gemini API key.
5. Enter your first idea in the Set input data/credentials node.
6. For automation, use a Schedule Trigger or Google Sheet.
