Nexus — technical foundation for publishing and distribution automation

● Running

Nexus is the technical foundation for publishing and distribution at Triple 8 Labs – a WordPress-based automation hub designed to minimise the manual effort needed for those activities. It connects the site to external tools and systems, including an n8n-powered publishing pipeline and AI assisted distribution process. The goal is a system that reduces production overhead and friction.


What it does

Nexus provides the infrastructure that every Triple 8 Labs project uses for content publishing and distribution. At its core is a WordPress site connected to automation workflows, AI tools, SEO optimisation, and affiliate link management.

For content publishing, a topic brief generates a fully formatted article draft; researched and written by AI agents like Claude and Gemini, featured image generated by Google Imagen, SEO metadata applied via Rank Math, tags created and attached, and Slack notifications for monitoring. Future workflows can extend this to cover video production, translation and social distribution.


What’s been built

Publishing Pipeline

An n8n workflow that takes a prompt and produces a complete WordPress draft — including content, featured image, SEO fields, and tags.

Site Infrastructure

WordPress configured with SEO, affiliate management, GDPR compliance, security, caching, and MCP access for AI-assisted development and management.

Technical foundation for publishing and distribution

Dev and production n8n instances connected to WordPress via REST API. Credential structure designed for portability and future workflow
expansion.


Try It Yourself

These are the actual templates that can be imported for free from the official n8n workflow library and adapted to your stack. You’ll need your own API keys and an n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) to run them.


Honest assessment

The infrastructure took longer to set up than expected – mostly because some decisions (SEO integration, refactoring the publishing pipeline, how to handle plagiarism and fact checking) were worth spending time on to build a solid reusable foundation. The publishing pipeline works well in practice by removing production friction, not editorial control.
