How to Turn RSS Headlines into AI Blog Drafts in Make.com

If you publish commentary on industry news, the slow part is starting the draft. This scenario watches an RSS feed, sends each fresh headline and summary to AI, and drops a ready to edit draft into a Google Docs file.

• A Make.com account
• An RSS feed URL to monitor
• An OpenAI API key
• A Google account for Google Docs

Step 1: Watch the RSS feed

Add the RSS Watch RSS feed items module as your trigger. Paste the feed URL and set Maximum number of returned items to 1 for testing. Run once so Make captures a sample item with its title, link, and description.

Step 2: Draft the post with OpenAI

Add OpenAI Create a Completion (Chat). Map the RSS title and description into a prompt that asks for a structured short draft. Ask for a working title, a two paragraph take, and three bullet takeaways so the output is consistent every time.

Write a short opinion blog draft based on this news item. Use this structure exactly:
- A punchy title
- Two short paragraphs of commentary
- Three bullet takeaways
Keep it under 250 words and skip any introduction about yourself.

Headline: {{1.title}}
Summary: {{1.description}}

Step 3: Save it to Google Docs

Add a Google Docs Create a Document module. For the document name map the RSS title, and for the content map the OpenAI result. Pick a folder so all drafts collect in one place.

Step 4: Test the full run

Click Run once. Open the new Google Doc and read the draft. Adjust the prompt tone words (for example add witty or formal) until the voice matches your blog.

Result: each morning your drafts folder fills with starter posts on the stories that matter to your audience, leaving you to do only the editing.
