Automating Email to Social Media Post: A Step-by-Step Guide

Hiya, is it possible to make a lindy that

  1. 1.

    waits for a certain type of email (specific sender),

2. follows a link in that email. 3. follows the main link in the first page that opens. 4. Reads the new page. 5. Drafts a linked-in style text /bsky post based on the text from 4, but following a particular template format (we have like 25 human-made examples) 6. Finds or creates an image in line with that. 7. Sends it to me for human review 8. Waits for me to say "OK" and - if ok does the bsky/linkedin post?

    Very cool thank you. If 3 is occasionally a link to a PDF, will it be able to handle that? Re image... I guess one of the gpt-like image generators? How would I do those steps 7/8 for example? Thank you

    re the pdf —yes. you’ll need to watch out for context windows though depending on what LLM you use

    (youre saying the lindy has it's own email address that tracks the individual job that is running?)
