AI Summaries for WordPress Posts with Slack Notifications

## Trigger - Two Options
To use this workflow, you have two trigger options.

The default trigger is **"When clicking 'Test workflow'"**, allowing you to manually test the scenario.

If you want to use this workflow in production, you can choose one of the following triggers. You'll need to **select the one you prefer and enable it**.:

### Schedule Trigger 
This trigger checks at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes) if a new post has been published on your WordPress blog and triggers the workflow accordingly. 

✅ **Easy to set up** 
✅ **Automates AI summaries without manual intervention** 

⚠️ If you run the workflow manually once, the AI-generated summaries will be added to Google Sheets and processed in later steps to prevent duplication. 

💡 **Recommended follow-up nodes:** If you choose this trigger, the following nodes are suggested in the template: 
- **`Date & Time - Subtract`**: Subtracts the scheduled interval from the current execution timestamp. For example, if the workflow runs every 5 minutes, it subtracts 5 minutes from the execution time. 
- **`WordPress - Get Posts`**: Uses the output of the `Date & Time - Subtract` node as a filter to retrieve only posts published after the last execution. 

### Webhook Trigger 
If you're familiar with webhooks, you can set up a webhook that triggers when a new post is published. 

✅ **Faster than scheduled triggers** 
✅ **More event-driven** 

You can implement this using either: 
- A **Webhook plugin** on WordPress (not recommended due to plugin dependency). 
- A **PHP function** that triggers the webhook with authentication for security. 

⚠️ **Be cautious** with how the webhook is triggered—you may not want it to fire on every post edit. 

💡 **Recommended follow-up nodes for this option:** 
- **`Set Fields - From Webhook Input`**: Configures the fields based on the data sent to the webhook. 
- **`WordPress - Get Post`**: Retrieves the post using the `post_id` received from the webhook, ensuring higher accuracy than the schedule trigger approach.
