Creating a Job for publication in Sql Server with select statement for passing a parameter

Question

I am creating a job for adding article to a publication.  the second step (e.g. for adding article) gives me error. I pass the name of the table as follow:
     EXEC sp_addarticle
           @publication = 'TTB', --THE NAME OF MY PUBLICATION
           'select top (1)' @article = 'Name from TableAdded Order by create_date Desc',
           'select top (1)' @source_object = 'Name from TableAdded Order by create_date Desc',
            @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1;
TableAdded is a table I have in my publisher which contains the name of the newly added table.
I believe it fails because the way I pass the name of the article to the store procedure is not correct. Can anyone please help me on that?
Kind regards
Amin

Yes, the way you add article is wrong.
you may try the below and let us know if you have any issues:
while loop begin (Get the values from TableAdded with status IsAdded=0)
          Assign the values to variables like @article = Select top 1 Name from TableAdded where IsAdded=0
          Call the sp_addarticle assigning the variable
          update the Isadded flag in tableAdded for the name to 1 
 end while 
BTB, Article configuration is supposed to be a one time configuration. Having said, you can easily configure through API. Caution, not sure what are you trying here, for adding new article, you may need to synch the data first in the above approach and should
carried out in the downtime.
