Blog post to LinkedIn carousel and header in one step

When a blog post is published in Notion, the agent extracts the key takeaways and calls Generate Carousel (1-Click) to produce a LinkedIn-ready multi-slide PDF, then calls Generate Graphic (1-Click) for the branded header image. Both assets are uploaded to Google Drive and posted to the #content Slack channel for the marketer to schedule — the entire visual production step is eliminated.

FAQs

Questions about Contentdrips + Actionist

How do I connect Actionist to Contentdrips?

Go to the Apps tab, find Contentdrips, and click Connect. Choose the API token method, then open your Contentdrips account, navigate to app.contentdrips.com/api-management, generate an API token, and paste it into the connection field in Actionist. The agent runs a test call to confirm the handshake before any rendering begins.

How long does it take Actionist to generate a graphic or carousel?

Yes. Each Contentdrips rendering job runs asynchronously — the API returns a job ID within about a minute of your request, and the agent then polls for the result. With the 1-Click Generate action, Actionist handles the polling automatically and returns the finished PNG or PDF when it is ready, so you never have to manage job IDs manually.

What output formats does Contentdrips support through Actionist?

Contentdrips outputs both PNG and PDF. PNG is the default and works for every social platform. PDF is useful for carousel exports that need to be printed or shared as documents. You choose the output format when you configure the Generate Graphic or Generate Carousel action in Actionist — the agent passes it directly to the Contentdrips API.

Can my agent dynamically swap text and images inside a Contentdrips template?

Each action accepts a template ID from your Contentdrips account and a content_update array that maps labels you have defined in the Contentdrips editor to new text or image values. The agent passes those updates to the /render endpoint at generation time, so a single template can produce hundreds of branded variations — one per product, campaign, or language — without any manual editor work.

Can I include brand information such as my name, handle, and avatar in the generated graphics?

Yes. Every Generate action accepts an optional branding block that includes your name, social handle, bio, website URL, and avatar image URL. When you enable branding, Contentdrips stamps those details onto the graphic before rendering, so every piece of output carries consistent brand attribution — useful for agencies producing content across multiple clients from a single template set.

How do carousel posts work in Contentdrips through Actionist?

A carousel in Contentdrips consists of three parts: an intro slide, one or more content slides, and an ending slide — each with a heading, description, and optional image URL. You can provide this structure as a simple form in Actionist or as a JSON object for advanced cases. The agent assembles the payload and calls the carousel /render endpoint, which returns a multi-slide export ready to upload directly to LinkedIn or another platform.

What do I do if I want to check on a rendering job that is still processing?

Use the Check Job Status action with the job ID returned by Generate Graphic or Generate Carousel. The action queries the /job/{id}/status endpoint and returns the current state: processing, completed, or failed. Once the status is completed, call Get Job Result with the same ID to retrieve the rendered file URL. This two-step pattern is the basis of the async workflow; the 1-Click Generate action wraps both steps automatically.

Can Contentdrips trigger automations when a graphic is ready?

Contentdrips is a design generation tool — it produces graphics and carousels from templates. It does not have triggers, webhooks, or event feeds of its own. Actionist initiates every rendering job on your behalf; to build event-driven content flows, pair Contentdrips with a trigger from another app such as a new Notion database entry, a Google Sheets row, or a CRM deal stage change, and let the Contentdrips actions run as the response step.
