Your Content Creation Pipeline Is Always Behind

Problem 1:

Marketing teams spending excessive time (25+ hours weekly) manually coordinating content workflows across departments, resulting in delayed product launches and extended approval cycles.

Solution 1:

This n8n workflow automates the content creation pipeline by integrating project management tools with communication platforms. When new content is requested in Asana or another project management tool, the workflow automatically creates appropriate tasks, assigns them to team members, and establishes deadlines. It then sends notifications via Slack or email when tasks are completed or approaching deadlines. The workflow includes approval routing to ensure content meets standards before publication, significantly reducing the manual coordination time and shortening approval cycles from 12-15 days to the industry benchmark of 5-7 days.

Problem 2:

Content teams spending 40% of their time searching for assets and coordinating approvals rather than creating new materials, leading to inconsistent messaging across multiple markets.

Solution 2:

This Make.com scenario creates a centralized digital asset management system that connects cloud storage solutions with content management platforms. The workflow automatically categorizes and tags new content assets, making them easily searchable. When team members need specific assets, they can request them through a form, and the workflow automatically retrieves and delivers the relevant files. Additionally, the system implements a structured approval process where stakeholders are notified when content needs review, can provide feedback directly within the platform, and approvals are tracked systematically. This solution dramatically reduces time spent searching for assets and streamlines the approval process.

Problem 3:

E-commerce businesses spending approximately 18 hours weekly manually updating product descriptions across multiple platforms, making the process 3-4 times longer than necessary.

Solution 3:

This n8n workflow automates product content distribution across multiple e-commerce platforms and marketplaces. When product information is updated in a central system (like a PIM or ERP), the workflow automatically extracts the relevant data and formats it appropriately for each destination platform such as Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and social media channels. The solution includes handling of different format requirements for each platform and can be scheduled to run at regular intervals or triggered when changes are made to product information. This automation eliminates the manual work of reformatting and copy-pasting product descriptions, reducing the 18 hours of weekly work to a fraction of the time.

Problem 4:

Blog content production consistently running 2-3 weeks behind schedule, directly impacting lead generation by an estimated 15-20% during key business seasons.

Solution 4:

This Make.com scenario creates an end-to-end blog content production pipeline that integrates content ideation, creation, editing, and publication. The workflow starts by monitoring trending topics or keyword opportunities using SEO tools, then automatically creates content briefs and assigns them to writers with appropriate deadlines. It tracks the progress of each piece through drafting, editing, and approval stages, sending automated reminders when tasks are due. Once approved, the workflow automatically formats and schedules the content for publication on the website and distribution across social media and email channels. The scenario can also analyze content performance post-publication to inform future content strategy.

Problem 5:

Technical documentation teams unable to support new product releases at the pace of innovation, creating a 4-6 week lag between product availability and complete documentation.

Solution 5:

This n8n workflow streamlines technical documentation creation and updates by connecting product development systems with documentation platforms. The automation monitors product development tools (like GitHub, JIRA, or product databases) for changes or new releases, then automatically triggers documentation update requests. It extracts relevant technical information from commits, pull requests, or release notes and creates structured documentation drafts or update tickets. The workflow routes these to technical writers with clear indicators of what needs updating, includes relevant code samples or API changes, and maintains version control. Once documentation is updated, it automatically publishes to appropriate channels and notifies stakeholders. This solution significantly reduces the lag between product releases and documentation updates.
