Automate LinkedIn Post Review & Approval from Google Sheets

Automate LinkedIn Post Review & Approval from Google Sheets

Introduction

Speed up social publishing without losing control. An AI reviews your draft, a human approves via email, and approved posts publish to LinkedIn automatically. ✅

Trigger Event

Runs on a set schedule (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri at 2pm) to check your Google Sheet for posts marked “ready.”

Actions

  • Look up the next “ready” row in your Google Sheet so only queued content is processed.
  • If nothing is ready, the automation stops quietly until the next run.
  • Send the row’s content to an AI for constructive feedback and improvements.
  • Save the AI’s suggestions back to the same row and switch its status to “Review.”
  • Email the reviewer the AI feedback with Approve/Reject buttons for one-click decision.
  • If Approved ➜ Publish a LinkedIn image post using the improved caption and the image URL from the sheet, then update the row to “Published.”
  • If Rejected ➜ Update the row to “Deny” so your team knows it needs changes before re-queuing.

Benefits

  • ✔️ Faster reviews with AI suggestions and one‑click email approvals

  • ✔️ Fewer mistakes by using a single source of truth in Google Sheets

  • ✔️ Hands‑off publishing to LinkedIn once approved

  • ✔️ Clear status tracking: Ready ➜ Review ➜ Published/Deny
