One low-maintenance Zap:
- Trigger: Schedule by Zapier (daily/weekly) → Action: ChatGPT to generate draft (use gpt-3.5 for lower cost).
- Action: upload/generate featured image (Cloudinary or AWS S3 via Zapier) → Final: CMS create post using hosted image URL.
Configure Zapier retries and add an error path that notifies Slack/email. Reduce run frequency to control cost.
