n8n Workflow: YouTube Video Repurposing into Blog Posts and Social Media Content with AI
This n8n workflow automates the process of transforming YouTube video content into various forms of engaging content suitable for blogs and multiple social media platforms. It leverages AI (OpenAI or Google Gemini) to generate blog posts, social media captions, and hashtags, then facilitates their distribution to WordPress, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and Notion, with human review steps.
What it does
This workflow streamlines your content repurposing strategy by:
- Triggering the workflow: Initiated manually or via a webhook, allowing for flexible integration.
- Fetching YouTube video transcript: Retrieves the transcript of a specified YouTube video.
- Generating blog post with AI: Uses either OpenAI or Google Gemini to create a comprehensive blog post from the video transcript.
- Generating social media content with AI: Utilizes AI to produce engaging social media captions and relevant hashtags for LinkedIn and X.
- Human Review (Slack): Sends the generated content to a Slack channel for human review and approval.
- Conditional Posting:
- If the content is approved, it proceeds to post.
- If disapproved, the workflow stops and logs an error.
- Publishing to WordPress: Creates a new blog post on your WordPress site.
- Posting to LinkedIn: Shares the generated content on your LinkedIn profile.
- Posting to X (formerly Twitter): Tweets the generated content on your X account.
- Saving to Notion: Stores the generated content and metadata in a Notion database for record-keeping or further use.
- Error Handling: Includes a "Stop and Error" node to gracefully handle cases where content is not approved.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
- YouTube API Key: To fetch video transcripts. (Implicitly used by the "HTTP Request" node if fetching transcripts directly, or the input data is expected to contain the transcript.)
- OpenAI API Key OR Google Gemini API Key: For content generation. You will need credentials for one of these AI services configured in n8n.
- Slack Account: For the human review step. You'll need a Slack credential configured.
- WordPress Account: For publishing blog posts. You'll need a WordPress credential configured.
- LinkedIn Account: For posting to LinkedIn. You'll need a LinkedIn credential configured.
- X (formerly Twitter) Account: For posting to X. You'll need an X credential configured.
- Notion Account: For saving content. You'll need a Notion credential configured.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Click on each node that requires credentials (e.g., OpenAI, Google Gemini, Slack, WordPress, LinkedIn, X, Notion).
- Select or create new credentials for each service. Follow the n8n documentation for each app node to set up the respective credentials correctly.
- Configure Nodes:
- Webhook (ID: 47): If you intend to trigger this workflow via an external system, copy the webhook URL.
- HTTP Request (ID: 19): Ensure this node is correctly configured to fetch the YouTube video transcript. You might need to adjust the URL and parameters based on your YouTube API usage.
- OpenAI (ID: 1250) / Google Gemini (ID: 1309): Choose which AI model you want to use for content generation. Configure the prompt and model settings as desired to achieve the best content output.
- Slack (ID: 40): Specify the Slack channel where review requests will be sent and configure the message format.
- If (ID: 20): This node acts as a conditional gate for human approval. Ensure the condition correctly evaluates the response from the Slack review to determine whether to proceed or stop.
- WordPress (ID: 118): Configure the post type, title, content, and any other relevant fields for your WordPress blog.
- LinkedIn (ID: 367): Set up the content for your LinkedIn post.
- X (ID: 325): Configure the tweet content.
- Notion (ID: 487): Specify the database ID and map the incoming data to the appropriate Notion properties.
- Activate the Workflow: Once all nodes are configured, activate the workflow.
- Execute the Workflow:
- Manual Trigger: Click "Execute Workflow" in the n8n editor.
- Webhook Trigger: Send an HTTP POST request to the Webhook URL with the necessary data (e.g., YouTube video ID or URL).
This robust workflow provides a powerful solution for content creators and marketers looking to maximize the reach of their YouTube videos across various digital platforms with minimal manual effort.
