Auto-Caption Videos for Instagram/TikTok with Google Drive and Submagic (Incomplete)

This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of generating captions for videos, likely for social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, using Google Drive and an external service (implied by the directory name to be Submagic).

Note: Based on the provided JSON, this workflow is currently incomplete. It only contains a Google Drive Trigger, an If node, a Wait node, an HTTP Request node, and a Google Drive node. The core logic for interacting with a captioning service (like Submagic) and processing video files is not yet implemented.

What it does (or aims to do)

1. Monitors Google Drive: Listens for new or updated files in a specified Google Drive folder.
2. Conditional Logic: Includes an "If" node, suggesting that it will apply conditions to the detected files (e.g., checking file type, name, or other metadata) before proceeding.
3. Delay/Wait: Incorporates a "Wait" node, which might be used to introduce a delay, possibly to ensure file synchronization or to space out API calls.
4. HTTP Request: Contains an "HTTP Request" node, which would typically be used to interact with an external API (e.g., sending a video file to a captioning service or checking its status).
5. Google Drive Action: Includes a "Google Drive" node, which could be used to download the video, upload captions, or move files.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• Google Drive Account: An authenticated Google Drive credential configured in n8n.
• External Captioning Service (e.g., Submagic): While not explicitly present in the JSON, the directory name suggests integration with such a service. This would require an account and API access for that service.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Google Drive Trigger:
   • Set up your Google Drive credential.
   • Specify the Google Drive folder to monitor for new video uploads.
3. Configure Google Drive Node:
   • Set up your Google Drive credential.
   • Define the operation (e.g., download file, upload file, move file) and target folder as needed for your workflow.
4. Configure HTTP Request Node:
   • This node is currently generic. You would need to configure it to interact with your chosen captioning service's API. This includes setting the URL, HTTP method (e.g., POST), headers (including API keys/tokens), and body (to send the video file or its URL).
5. Configure If Node:
   • Define the conditions for processing files. For example, you might check if the file is a video (e.g., mimeType starts with video/) or if its name matches a specific pattern.
6. Configure Wait Node:
   • Adjust the delay duration as necessary.
7. Complete the workflow: This workflow is a starting point. You will need to add more nodes to:
   • Download the video file from Google Drive.
   • Send the video file to the captioning service via the HTTP Request node.
   • Handle the response from the captioning service (e.g., extract the generated captions).
   • Upload the generated captions back to Google Drive or another destination.
   • Potentially post the video with captions to Instagram/TikTok (which would require additional nodes for those platforms).
