Use ChatGPT to output a single machine-readable JSON with SEO fields, e.g.:
Prompt: "Translate into [LANG]. Return ONLY JSON: {title_seo, meta_description, slug, content_html, alt_texts, keywords, publish_at_ISO}. Preserve original keywords and tone."
Zapier pattern: Trigger (Webhook/GPT output) → Formatter Parse JSON → Create/Update WordPress Post (map JSON fields to post/meta) → Schedule publish using publish_at_ISO (or save as draft for QA).
Have ChatGPT output one JSON per language: {title, slug, meta_title, meta_description, content_html, hreflang_url}. Prompt: “Translate/localize to {lang}. Return JSON only. Slug ASCII, hyphenated, ≤60 chars. meta_description ≤160 chars. Preserve H1s.” Zap pattern: Trigger (ChatGPT/webhook) → Formatter (validate slug/date) → Webhooks by Zapier POST to WP REST API with post_date, status='future', content, slug and SEO meta (e.g. _yoast_wpseo_title/_yoast_wpseo_metadesc). Use Webhooks when Zapier’s WP action can’t set meta.
