Build a Social Media Automation Pipeline

One prompt generates Twitter threads, LinkedIn posts, and Instagram captions with images. Post to all platforms automatically.

What You'll Build

An automation tool that creates platform-specific content from a single idea and schedules posts across Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Why This Is Powerful

• Write once, publish everywhere
• AI-optimized for each platform
• Automated image generation
• Scheduling built-in

Prerequisites

• SkillBoss account
• Social media API tokens (Twitter, LinkedIn)
• Node.js experience

Architecture

Input: Topic or article URL Skills: openai/gpt-4o, flux/schnell, twitter-api, linkedin-api Output: Scheduled posts on all platforms

Step 1: Setup Project

Initialize Node.js project and install dependencies:

npm init -y
npm install openai twitter-api-v2 linkedin-api-client dotenv

Step 2: Create Content Generator

Generate platform-specific content with one prompt:

// content-generator.ts
import { OpenAI } from 'openai'

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.skillboss.co/v1',
  apiKey: process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY,
})

async function generateContent(topic: string) {
  const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'openai/gpt-4o',
    messages: [{
      role: 'system',
      content: `Generate social media content in this JSON format:
{
  "twitter": { "thread": ["tweet1", "tweet2", ...] },
  "linkedin": { "post": "long-form post" },
  "instagram": { "caption": "caption with emojis" }
}`
    }, {
      role: 'user',
      content: `Topic: ${topic}`
    }],
    response_format: { type: 'json_object' }
  })

  return JSON.parse(response.choices[0].message.content)
}

Step 3: Generate Images

Create platform-specific images:

async function generateImage(prompt: string) {
  const image = await client.images.generate({
    model: 'flux/schnell',
    prompt: prompt + ' professional, high quality, social media ready',
    size: '1024x1024',
  })
  return image.data[0].url
}

Step 4: Post to Platforms

Publish content to all platforms:

import { TwitterApi } from 'twitter-api-v2'

async function publishAll(content: any, imageUrl: string) {
  // Twitter thread
  const twitter = new TwitterApi(process.env.TWITTER_TOKEN)
  for (const tweet of content.twitter.thread) {
    await twitter.v2.tweet(tweet)
  }

  // LinkedIn post
  await linkedin.createPost({
    text: content.linkedin.post,
    imageUrl,
  })

  // Instagram (via Facebook Graph API)
  await instagram.publish({
    caption: content.instagram.caption,
    imageUrl,
  })

  console.log('✅ Published to all platforms!')
}

Step 5: Run Automation

Execute the full pipeline:

async function main() {
  const topic = "The future of AI in healthcare"

  console.log('📝 Generating content...')
  const content = await generateContent(topic)

  console.log('🎨 Creating image...')
  const imageUrl = await generateImage(topic)

  console.log('🚀 Publishing...')
  await publishAll(content, imageUrl)
}

main()
