Use this pattern:
1) In ChatGPT prompt request strict JSON: {title, excerpt, content_html, tags, featured_image_url}.
2) Save ChatGPT outputs to Google Sheets or Airtable (Zap trigger).
3) Zap: Trigger (New Row) → Formatter/Parse JSON → WordPress: Upload Media (use featured_image_url) → Create Post: map title, content_html, excerpt, tags; set Status = draft.
Prompt tips: output valid JSON, use absolute image URLs, tags comma-separated, content as HTML or Markdown.
