Transform YouTube Videos into Interactive MCQ Quizzes with Google Forms & Gemini AI

This n8n workflow automates the creation of interactive Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) quizzes from YouTube videos. It leverages Google Gemini AI to generate quiz questions and answers based on the video transcript, and then publishes these quizzes to Google Forms.

Description

This workflow streamlines the educational content creation process by taking a YouTube video URL, extracting its transcript, and using a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate a structured MCQ quiz. The generated quiz is then automatically published to a Google Form, making it easy to share and collect responses.

What it does

  1. Triggers on Form Submission: The workflow starts when a new submission is received via an n8n Form. This form is expected to contain a YouTube video URL.
  2. Extracts YouTube Video ID: It extracts the video ID from the provided YouTube URL.
  3. Fetches YouTube Transcript: It makes an HTTP request to an external API (likely a YouTube transcript API) to fetch the transcript of the specified YouTube video.
  4. Generates Quiz with Google Gemini AI:
    • It uses a "Basic LLM Chain" node, powered by the Google Gemini Chat Model, to process the YouTube transcript.
    • A "Structured Output Parser" is used to ensure the AI generates the quiz in a specific JSON format, including questions, options, and correct answers.
  5. Processes AI Output:
    • The generated quiz data is transformed and prepared for Google Forms using an "Edit Fields (Set)" node.
    • It then loops through each generated question using a "Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)" node.
  6. Creates Google Form Quiz: For each question, it dynamically creates a new question in a Google Form.
  7. Publishes Google Form: The final Google Form with all the generated MCQ questions is published.
  8. Provides Form Link: The workflow concludes by providing the link to the newly created Google Form.

Prerequisites/Requirements

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Google Gemini API Key: Credentials for the Google Gemini Chat Model (configured within the "Google Gemini Chat Model" node).
  • YouTube Transcript API Key/Endpoint: Access to an API that can fetch YouTube video transcripts (configured in the "HTTP Request" node). This is represented by a generic HTTP Request node in the JSON, so you'll need to provide the actual API endpoint and any necessary authentication.
  • Google Account: A Google account with permissions to create and manage Google Forms (configured as a credential in n8n).

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Google Gemini Chat Model: Set up your Google Gemini API key as a credential in n8n and select it in the "Google Gemini Chat Model" node.
    • Google Forms: Set up your Google account credentials in n8n and select them in the Google Forms nodes (not explicitly shown in connection to Google Forms, but implied by the workflow's purpose).
  3. Configure YouTube Transcript API:
    • In the "HTTP Request" node (ID 19), update the URL and any necessary headers/authentication to point to your chosen YouTube transcript API.
  4. Configure the n8n Form Trigger:
    • The "On form submission" node (ID 1225) will generate a webhook URL. Share this URL or embed the form on your website to allow users to submit YouTube video links.
    • Ensure the form collects the YouTube video URL as an input.
  5. Activate the workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow.

Now, whenever a user submits a YouTube video URL to your n8n form, the workflow will automatically generate an MCQ quiz and provide a link to the Google Form.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
