Is this possible, or will manual intervention still be needed after setup?

I play this game on my iPad, and take screenshots. In the past I had it setup to automatically backup to my Google Photos, and from there I would move the screenshots to my Cloudinary account. From there I would then make a post in a Wordpress app, with its custom domain, and then insert the uploaded screenshots using the Cloudinary link. I did it for only a few weeks because it became tedious.

So my question is, using N8N, is it actually, truly, possible to setup a workflow like this: after the screenshot is uploaded, to then take it or a link of it and create a new daily WP post? I think I am fine NOT adding a caption or anything… just the whole upload->get link->make new post->insert X links-> publish is tedious. If that part could be automated, then later adding text, tags, etc., would be fine.

Thank you!

@scooke imho yes. Quick idea is:

• install nextcloud-client on your ipad.
• Upload new screenshots to nc.
• install the webhook app in nc.
• build a flow with "if some pic is uploaded, trigger a webhook".
• install n8n. Start with an incoming webhook.
• if the webhook is triggered, download the uploaded pic into n8n (via nextcloud integration)
• upload the downloaded picture via WordPress integration

I built it quickly and identified 2 initial issues:

1. the webhook app for nextcloud is not for the current version server version 25 or lower is required. Therefore I have to trigger the webhook manually.
2. the downloaded screenshot is in n8n as data. At the moment I have no idea how to upload it as data into a post in WordPress. So I added a conversion flow from data -> json and uploaded it as base64.

But in general, the flow seems to be possible.

If you want to see it in action:

• Upload a file called pic.png into https://nc-cloudron.luckow.org/s/QocarWoNBJ7FJcQ
• fire up the webhook https://n8n.luckow.org/webhook/nc-cloudron
• Take a look at https://wp-cloudron.luckow.org/ (it's a post called nc-wp)

I will delete the setup tomorrow.

@scooke hope you see this before @luckow deletes it tomorrow. lol

Might be good to look into XBackBone with ShareX for the screenshots which may also have WP integrations.

Why not use native system functionality on ios? https://gregmorris.co.uk/blog/publishing-to-wordpress/
