Description

This comprehensive n8n automation template orchestrates a complete end-to-end workflow for generating engaging short-form Point-of-View (POV) style videos using multiple AI services and automatically publishing them across major social media platforms. It takes ideas from a Google Sheet and transforms them into finished videos with captions, voiceovers, and platform-specific descriptions, ready for distribution.

Who Is This For?

  • Content Creators & Agencies: Mass-produce unique short-form video content for various clients or channels with minimal manual effort.
  • Digital Marketers: Automate video content pipelines to boost online presence and engagement across multiple platforms simultaneously.
  • Social Media Managers: Schedule and distribute consistent video content efficiently without juggling multiple tools and manual uploads.
  • Businesses: Leverage AI to create branded video content for marketing, reducing production time and costs.

What Problem Does This Workflow Solve?

Creating and distributing high-quality short-form video content consistently across multiple social networks is incredibly time-consuming and resource-intensive. This workflow tackles these challenges by:

  • Automating Idea-to-Video Pipeline: Generates video concepts, image prompts, scripts, images, video clips, and voiceovers using AI.
  • Streamlining Video Assembly: Automatically combines generated assets into a final video using a template.
  • Generating Platform-Optimized Descriptions: Creates relevant descriptions for posts by transcribing the final video audio.
  • Automating Multi-Platform Publishing: Uploads the final video and description to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn simultaneously.
  • Reducing Manual Workload: Drastically cuts down the time and effort required for video production and distribution.
  • Centralized Tracking: Updates a Google Sheet with results, costs, and status for easy monitoring.

How It Works

  1. Trigger & Input: Runs on a daily schedule (configurable) and fetches new video ideas from a designated Google Sheet.
  2. AI Content Generation:
    • Uses OpenAI to generate video captions and image prompts based on the idea.
    • Uses PiAPI (Flux) to generate images from prompts.
    • Uses PiAPI (Kling) to generate video clips from the images (Image-to-Video).
    • Uses OpenAI to generate a voiceover script based on the captions.
    • Uses ElevenLabs to generate voiceover audio from the script and uploads it to Google Drive.
  3. Video Assembly: Combines the generated video clips, captions, and voiceover audio using a Creatomate template to render the final video.
  4. Description Generation: Uploads the final video to Google Drive, extracts the audio using OpenAI (Whisper), and generates a social media description using OpenAI (GPT).
  5. Multi-Platform Distribution: Uses upload-post.com to upload the final video and generated description to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
  6. Tracking & Notification: Updates the original Google Sheet row with output details (video link, costs, tokens used) and sends a completion notification via Discord.

Setup

  1. Accounts & API Keys: Obtain accounts and generate API keys/credentials for:
    • n8n
    • Google Cloud Platform (for Google Sheets & Google Drive APIs + OAuth Credentials)
    • OpenAI
    • PiAPI

n8n AI Video Generation and Multi-Platform Publishing Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the entire process of generating AI-powered videos and publishing them across multiple platforms. It streamlines content creation, from initial data input to final distribution, making it ideal for content creators, marketers, and businesses looking to scale their video output efficiently.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

  1. Triggers on a Schedule: The workflow starts at predefined intervals, ensuring a consistent content pipeline.
  2. Reads Data from Google Sheets: It fetches video ideas, scripts, or other relevant data from a specified Google Sheet, acting as the central content management system.
  3. Generates AI Video Content (via HTTP Request): It sends a request to an external AI video generation service (e.g., a custom API or another n8n workflow exposing an endpoint) to create the video based on the data from Google Sheets.
  4. Processes AI Video Response: It receives the response from the AI video generation service.
  5. Performs Conditional Logic:
    • If video generation is successful:
      • It reads the generated video file (binary data).
      • It saves the video file to Google Drive for archival and easy access.
      • It writes the video file locally (potentially for further processing or temporary storage).
      • It posts a notification with the video to a Discord channel.
    • If video generation fails:
      • It posts an error notification to a Discord channel, alerting the team to the failure.
  6. Transforms and Sets Data: It manipulates and sets data fields as needed throughout the workflow for consistent processing.
  7. Waits (Conditional): It includes a Wait node, which might be used for rate limiting, allowing time for external services to process, or for manual review in a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) scenario (though not explicitly configured as HITL in this JSON).
  8. Merges Paths: It combines the successful and failed video generation paths to continue the workflow, potentially for logging or final status updates.
  9. Utilizes OpenAI (Optional/Advanced): The presence of an OpenAI node suggests potential for advanced AI capabilities such as script generation, content summarization, or metadata creation before or after video generation.

Two-way property repair management system with Google Sheets & Drive

This workflow automates the repair request process between tenants and building managers, keeping all updates organized in a single spreadsheet. It is composed of two coordinated workflows, as two separate triggers are required — one for new repair submissions and another for repair updates. A Unique Unit ID that corresponds to individual units is attributed to each request, and timestamps are used to coordinate repair updates with specific requests. General use cases include: Property managers who manage multiple buildings or units. Building owners looking to centralize tenant repair communication. Automation builders who want to learn multi-trigger workflow design in n8n. --- ⚙️ How It Works Workflow 1 – New Repair Requests Behind the Scenes: A tenant fills out a Google Form (“Repair Request Form”), which automatically adds a new row to a linked Google Sheet. Steps: Trigger: Google Sheets rowAdded – runs when a new form entry appears. Extract & Format: Collects all relevant form data (address, unit, urgency, contacts). Generate Unit ID: Creates a standardized identifier (e.g., BUILDING-UNIT) for tracking. Email Notification: Sends the building manager a formatted email summarizing the repair details and including a link to a Repair Update Form (which activates Workflow 2). --- Workflow 2 – Repair Updates Behind the Scenes:\ Triggered when the building manager submits a follow-up form (“Repair Update Form”). Steps: Lookup by UUID: Uses the Unit ID from Workflow 1 to find the existing row in the Google Sheet. Conditional Logic: If photos are uploaded: Saves each image to a Google Drive folder, renames files consistently, and adds URLs to the sheet. If no photos: Skips the upload step and processes textual updates only. Merge & Update: Combines new data with existing repair info in the same spreadsheet row — enabling a full repair history in one place. --- 🧩 Requirements Google Account (for Forms, Sheets, and Drive) Gmail/email node connected for sending notifications n8n credentials configured for Google API access --- ⚡ Setup Instructions (see more detail in workflow) Import both workflows into n8n, then copy one into a second workflow. Change manual trigger in workflow 2 to a n8n Form node. Connect Google credentials to all nodes. Update spreadsheet and folder IDs in the corresponding nodes. Customize email text, sender name, and form links for your organization. Test each workflow with a sample repair request and a repair update submission. --- 🛠️ Customization Ideas Add Slack or Telegram notifications for urgent repairs. Auto-create folders per building or unit for photo uploads. Generate monthly repair summaries using Google Sheets triggers. Add an AI node to create summaries/extract relevant repair data from repair request that include long submissions.
