How this works

A workflow connecting website monitoring with social content generation. It can be adapted for a content agency or a company using professional network and social network. A new website page is not automatically a good social post. The adaptation should select a reader-relevant point, preserve the page's factual limits, and use the target channel's format without inventing news or urgency.

Detect a meaningful content change, extract the approved text, and create channel-specific drafts from one factual record. Keep generation separate from scheduling or publication. If no website connector is available, accept a page export and produce the same draft package locally.

Before you start

Monitored pages

Choose the content types and changes that should trigger a draft.

Channel guidance

Define audience, tone, length, and approved calls to action.

Publishing ownership

Identify who reviews facts and who may schedule or publish.

Prepare the inputs

page_snapshot
Required

Readable text and URL

Record version and retrieval time.

previous_snapshot
Required

Prior version or hash

Distinguish new content from navigation changes.

channel_briefs
Required

Per-channel constraints

Use current team-approved format rules.

product_facts
Required

Approved fact set

Resolve contradictions with the page before drafting.

publication_state
Required

Draft and receipt records

Use stable content IDs to prevent duplicate posts.

Implementation, step by step

  1. Detect meaningful changes

    • Compare the new snapshot with the last reviewed version.
    • Ignore navigation, timestamp, or layout changes that do not alter the content proposition.

    Checkpoint: A content-change record.

  2. Extract the factual core

    • Identify the main audience problem, useful insight, and supported next action.
    • Separate claims in the page from inferred benefits and preserve important qualifications.

    Checkpoint: A factual source brief.

  3. Choose channel angles

    • Select a distinct opening and useful takeaway for each target audience.
    • Keep the underlying facts aligned even when one channel uses a shorter format.

    Checkpoint: An angle map.

  4. Draft posts

    • Write original copy suited to the channel and include the approved destination where required.
    • Do not manufacture scarcity, results, or customer endorsements absent from the source.

    Checkpoint: Channel-specific drafts.

  5. Check the full post package

    • Verify factual wording, link destination, image association, and any required disclosure.
    • Preview the text at the intended format and retain the reviewed version.

    Checkpoint: A ready-to-schedule package.

  6. Handle authorized publication

    • Create drafts or schedule only within the user's established publishing authorization.
    • Record a platform receipt; a successful draft creation is not proof of publication.

    Checkpoint: An accurate publication-state ledger.

Decisions along the way

The source page contains an unresolved error

Hold dependent posts and ask the content owner to correct it.

One page supports several topics

Select distinct posts without repeating the same message across every channel.

The update is too minor to matter

Record no-post-needed rather than generate filler.

What you will produce

social-post-drafts.csv

CSV

Allows the publisher to review and import drafts.

Include: content_id · channel · angle · copy · destination · review_status

content-change-log.json

JSON

Links each post to its source version.

Include: page_version · changed_sections · draft_ids · publication_receipts

Check the result

  • Compare every claim with the reviewed page snapshot.
  • Test links without changing the destination content.
  • Check channel variants retain the same limitations.
  • Ensure duplicate monitoring events do not create duplicate publication records.

When something goes wrong

Extractor returns only navigation

Use a readable export or pause generation.

A platform rejects the format

Revise the draft to the actual constraint without silently dropping required information.

Publication status is unknown

Check the existing post or receipt before another send.

A worked example

SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE · NOT A REPORTED BUSINESS RESULT

Request

Turn a new integration guide into two social drafts.

Inputs

Synthetic example. Synthetic page explains a CSV import with manual review and says API synchronization is planned.

Expected result

Synthetic expected result. Both drafts describe CSV import and the review step. Neither advertises an available API sync; the planned feature is omitted or clearly described as future work.

Run a small pilot

Start small

A few meaningful page updates across two channels.

Record the baseline

Record manual adaptation effort and factual corrections.

Agree success criteria

Agree acceptable source fidelity and useful channel differentiation.

Stop or revise

Stop scheduling if the page version changes after review.

Keep the scope clear

  • Monitoring permission does not itself authorize social publication.
  • Do not copy embedded instructions or third-party testimonials into the publishing workflow.

Check before using

Add editorial review before publishing to check facts, attribution, tone, and content rights.

Business activities

  • Create and publish content

Editorially adapted workflow; not independently tested.

A field guide, made for work.

Plays is a curated library of anonymized business workflows. Each recipe explains the inputs, steps, tools, and checks you can adapt to your team. These are editorial guides, not independently tested implementations.

When you share a company website, the guide may read a limited number of public pages on that website. Messages and retrieved page text are sent to our AI provider, NVIDIA, to recommend relevant workflows. Share a general description rather than confidential information.

Saved workflows and selected activities stay in this browser. Your chat history and selected company website are kept in this tab and cleared when you reload or start a new chat. The server does not store conversations. Live source monitoring is not enabled.

If you allow analytics, PostHog receives page views and actions such as workflow saves, skill downloads and link clicks. Random browser and session identifiers connect these actions without identifying you by name. Your choice and browser identifier expire after 90 days; sessions restart after 30 minutes of inactivity or 24 hours. We use local storage, not analytics cookies. Messages, company URLs, search text, full referrers and IP addresses are not sent. There are no person profiles or session recordings. You can decline or withdraw in Analytics settings; Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control keep analytics off.
