Post weekday car care tips to Facebook and Instagram with Perplexity and GPT Image

On a schedule, it handles email with OpenAI / ChatGPT and Perplexity using Gmail, Google Sheets, Perplexity, Post Wire.

What it does

## Post a researched car care tip for your auto repair shop every weekday Every weekday Perplexity researches one timely car care tip for your city, GPT Image draws the picture and PostWire posts it to your Facebook Page and Instagram with a caption written for each one. ### How it works 1. Every weekday at 9:00 reads the tips already posted from Google Sheets, so a topic is never repeated. 2. Research with Perplexity searches the web for a tip that fits the season and your city and writes the facts, the image idea and a caption per network, with the pages it read. 3. Is it a new tip? stops the run if the topic is empty or already in the log. 4. Make the image (GPT Image) draws a square picture; Post the tip (PostWire) publishes it with each caption. 5. Log the tip adds the links and the sources to the sheet. If a network fails, Log the fix and Email me the fix say what to fix. ### Setup 1. Install the verified PostWire node (search "PostWire" in the nodes panel), create an account at postwire.io, connect your networks and paste your API key into a PostWire API credential. 2. Add a Perplexity and an OpenAI credential (a few cents a day). 3. Create a sheet with the columns date, topic, status, links, sources and note, and pick it in the three Sheets nodes. 4. Connect Gmail and fill in Shop settings. ### Customize Change the services and offer in Shop settings or the days in the trigger. Two networks fit the PostWire free plan; on a paid plan add LinkedIn, Bluesky or Mastodon in the PostWire node and a caption for each in Post the tip.
