Workflow: Auto-publish blog posts with ChatGPT and Zapier
I want an end-to-end Zapier automation that takes a ChatGPT draft, formats it, creates a WordPress post, and schedules social sharing. Looking for the exact Zap steps, prompt templates, and common failure points.

Exact Zap steps: 1) Trigger: New file in Google Drive (folder “GPT Drafts”) or OpenAI new completion. 2) Formatter: clean text & extract metadata. 3) ChatGPT: rewrite to WordPress-ready JSON {title,slug,content_html,excerpt,meta_description,tags,schedule_date}. 4) Delay until schedule_date. 5) WordPress: Create Post (status=scheduled). 6) Buffer/Zapier Social: create 3 share variations & schedule.
Prompt (ChatGPT):
"Rewrite draft into JSON with fields above. Use H2/H3, meta <=155 chars, suggested tags, and featured_image URL."
Common failures: timezone mismatches, HTML sanitization, missing featured images, malformed JSON, Zapier/OpenAI rate limits.
