Smoke Test — Article — 2026-04-20

Introduction

This is a smoke test of the Notion → n8n → WordPress pipeline on Rick’s VPS. If you are reading this on staging10.thunk.co, the article content type is working.

The goal of this run is to verify:

1. Notion webhook fires into n8n
2. The converter produces clean HTML
3. WordPress creates the post
4. The workflow writes back WP Post ID, WP Post URL, Publish Date, Slug, and Reading Time

What to expect

• A new post published on staging10.thunk.co
• This Notion page updated with the WP post URL and Publish Date
• A Slack notification in #content-pipeline
