Generate & Publish Social Media Content with Gemini, Kie.ai, and Late API

📘 Overview This workflow automates end-to-end social media publishing powered by Late API.
It generates text content with Google Gemini, creates branded visuals with Kie.ai, uploads media to Late, and publishes across multiple platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok).

It’s a production-ready automation for marketing teams who want to save hours of work by letting AI handle both copywriting and design — all inside n8n.

⚙️ How it works Generate text content → Google Gemini produces platform-optimized copy (tone & length adapted to each network).
Generate visuals → Kie.ai Seedream v4 creates branded 1080x1080 images.
Upload to Late → media is stored using Late’s upload API (small & large file handling).
Publish → posts are created via Late API on enabled platforms with correct { platform, accountId } mapping.
Notify → success logs are sent via Slack, Discord, Email, and Webhook.
