This comprehensive n8n workflow streamlines the process of uploading videos from Google Drive to multiple social media platforms—Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube—while simultaneously tracking and updating records in Airtable. It is ideal for content creators and social media managers who need to automate publishing workflows efficiently.

The workflow begins with a trigger that monitors a specific Google Drive folder for new files. Once a file is detected, it is downloaded and processed in several ways. Initially, the video is used to extract audio through OpenAI’s transcription service, which then generates engaging social media descriptions using GPT-4. These descriptions are tailored for each platform.

The video is subsequently uploaded to each social media platform via API requests, with credentials managed through upload-post.com or a similar service, ensuring secure and authenticated posting. After each upload, the workflow updates the corresponding Airtable record with the status, URLs, and detailed descriptions, maintaining organized tracking across platforms.

Error handling nodes send notifications via Telegram in case of failures, providing real-time alerts. Additional nodes add context and metadata to Airtable, such as upload times and video titles. Overall, this workflow automates a complex content distribution pipeline, saving time and reducing manual effort.

This setup is perfect for digital marketers, influencers, or agencies looking to automate their video content lifecycle from upload to multi-channel distribution with precise record-keeping.
