Transform simple ideas into viral-ready Bigfoot vlogs! This automated workflow creates charming 8-scene video content featuring "Sam" the Bigfoot - a lovable, outdoorsy character inspired by popular YouTube adventure channels. How It Works The workflow transforms your creative concept into professional video content through three automated stages: Story Generation - AI creates an 8-scene narrative arc featuring Sam the Bigfoot, complete with character-consistent dialogue and engaging plot development Human Approval - Review and approve the generated storyline via Slack before proceeding to video production Video Production - Each scene is automatically converted into 8-second video clips using Google's VEO 3 AI, then uploaded to Google Drive for easy access Required Credentials Anthropic API - Add your Claude API key for story generation FAL API - Configure your FAL.ai key for VEO 3 video generation Slack OAuth - Set up Slack app with channel permissions for approvals Google Drive OAuth - Connect your Google Drive for video storage Configuration Steps Import the workflow into your n8n instance Update Slack channel ID in the notification nodes to match your desired channel Set Google Drive folder - Update the folder ID where videos should be stored Test the form trigger - The workflow starts with a web form for video ideas Customize character (optional) - Modify Sam's personality in the narrative prompts

This workflow automates the process of creating and posting Instagram Reels, combining Google Drive, AI, Airtable, and the Facebook Graph API. It supports two content creation paths: Scheduled Random Video Selection & Posting Selects a random video from a Google Drive folder named "Random video mover" based on a schedule. Moves the video to a processing folder for posting. Manual Upload Trigger & Posting Watches a specific Google Drive folder ("n8n reels automation on instagram"). Triggers the workflow when a new video is uploaded. Core Process (applies to both paths) Download Video from Google Drive. AI Caption Generation with Google Gemini, using the file name as context. The AI creates concise captions with hashtags and a call-to-action. Airtable Logging to store video name, caption, and URL. Instagram Reels Posting via the Facebook Graph API. Recent Change In early 2025, Meta tightened its requirements for video_url and image_url parameters. URLs must now be direct, public links to the raw media file with no redirects or authentication. Google Drive links no longer work. Our Fix Store the binary file locally on the n8n server at /tmp/video.mp4. Serve the file through a public n8n webhook with the correct Content-Type. Use the webhook URL in the Facebook Graph API request. Upload succeeds without the “Media download has failed” error. Cleanup Deletes the temporary file after posting. Benefits Saves time with full automation. Improves engagement through AI-generated captions. Keeps content organized in Airtable. Works with Meta’s updated API requirements by hosting files directly from the n8n server.

📘 Multi-Photo Facebook Post (Windows Directory) – How to Use ✅ Requirements To run this automation, make sure you have the following: ✅ n8n installed on your local Windows machine ✅ Cloudinary or any other file hosting service for uploading image files ✅ Facebook Page Access Token with the required permissions (pages_manage_posts, pages_read_engagement, pages_show_list, etc.) 🚀 How to Use Import the provided n8n workflow template into your n8n instance. Verify the image directory path – ensure that the images you want to post are stored in a local folder (e.g. E:\Autopost-media\YourPage\Images). Check the caption and hashtag files – this includes: description.txt (for the post message) hashtag.txt (for additional tags) Set your Facebook credentials – insert your Facebook Page Access Token in the designated credential field in the workflow. ⚙️ How It Works (Workflow Logic) Read Text Files The workflow reads description.txt and hashtag.txt from the local directory. These are combined to form the message body for the Facebook post. Select Images to Post The Limit node defines how many images to post per run (e.g. 3 images). Selected image files are uploaded to a file server (like Cloudinary) to obtain public URLs. Post to Facebook (Multi-Photo) A multi-photo post is created using the uploaded image URLs and the composed message. Move Posted Images After the post is successfully published, the original image files are moved to a new folder. The destination folder is automatically created using the current date (e.g. E:\Autopost-media\YourPage\Images\20250614).

Automated Job Search & AI Relevance Evaluator Overview This n8n template automates the entire job hunting process by cross-referencing a candidate's PDF resume with live job listings from the JSearch API. It automatically filters for fresh, unapplied roles, uses Google Gemini AI to critically evaluate each job's relevance against the candidate's specific experience, and logs highly tailored matches directly into a Notion database for seamless tracking. 🚀 How it works Context & Extraction: The workflow fetches existing applications from your Notion database to prevent duplicate tracking, then reads and extracts plain text directly from a local PDF resume. Role Discovery: A Google Gemini node isolates the candidate's current job title to formulate a precise search query. This query is sent to the JSearch API (via RapidAPI) to pull live job listings. Smart Filtering: Natively filters out jobs posted more than 14 days ago and jobs that already exist in your Notion tracker, ensuring only fresh, unseen postings are processed. AI Evaluation: The core of the workflow! Google Gemini acts as an expert technical recruiter, comparing the candidate's resume against each job description. It generates a "Relevance Score" (1-100), a "Skill Match Score", extracts remote/salary info, and summarizes why the job is a good fit. Notion Logging: Structured insights for each matched role are formatted and pushed directly as a rich database page into your Notion tracking board. 🎮 How to use API Credentials: Add your Google Gemini API Key and your RapidAPI key (subscribed to the JSearch API) in their respective nodes. Notion Setup: Connect your Notion credential and update the two Notion nodes with your specific target Database ID. File Path: Update the File Selector to point to your PDF resume (e.g., /home/node/.n8n-files/My-Resume.pdf). Search Customization: Open the "Search for Jobs via RapidAPI" node to manually tweak your target location, industry keywords, or pagination limits. ⚙️ Requirements Google Gemini API Key RapidAPI Key (for JSearch API) Notion Account (with a pre-configured Job Tracker database) n8n Environment: Designed for self-hosted instances with local file access. 🎯 Use Cases Automated Job Hunting: Wake up to a pre-vetted, automatically scored list of highly relevant job openings perfectly matched to your exact resume. Recruiting Pipelines: Scale candidate sourcing by automatically comparing an inbound candidate's resume against thousands of active job board posts. Freelance Lead Generation: Independent contractors or agencies can use this to find companies actively hiring for the exact technical skills they offer.

Generating contextual summaries is an token-intensive approach for RAG embeddings which can quickly rack up costs if your inference provider charges by token usage. Featherless.ai is an inference provider with a different pricing model - they charge a flat subscription fee (starting from $10) and allows for unlimited token usage instead. If you're typically spending over $10 - $25 a month, you may find Featherless to be a cheaper and more manageable option for your projects or team. For this template, Featherless's unlimited token usage is well suited for generating contextual summaries at high volumes for a majority of RAG workloads. LLM: moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct Embeddings: models/gemini-embedding-001 How it works A large document is imported into the workflow using the HTTP node and its text extracted via the Extract from file node. For this demonstration, the UK highway code is used an an example. Each page is processed individually and a contextual summary is generated for it. The contextual summary generation involves taking the current page, preceding and following pages together and summarising the contents of the current page. This summary is then converted to embeddings using Gemini-embedding-001 model. Note, we're using a http request to use the Gemini embedding API as at time of writing, n8n does not support the new API's schema. These embeddings are then stored in a Qdrant collection which can then be retrieved via an agent/MCP server or another workflow. How to use Replace the large document import with your own source of documents such as google drive or an internal repo. Replace the manual trigger if you want the workflow to run as soon as documents become available. If you're using Google Drive, check out my Push notifications for Google Drive template. Expand and/or tune embedding strategies to suit your data. You may want to additionally embed the content itself and perform multi-stage queries using both. Requirements Featherless.ai Account and API Key Gemini Account and API Key for Embeddings Qdrant Vector store Customising this workflow Sparse Vectors were not included in this template due to scope but should be the next step to getting the most our of contextual retrieval. Be sure to explore other models on the Featherless.ai platform or host your own custom/finetuned models.

Move beyond generic AI-generated content and create articles that are high-quality, factually reliable, and aligned with your unique expertise. This template orchestrates a sophisticated "research-first" content creation process. Instead of simply asking an AI to write an article from scratch, it first uses an AI planner to break your topic down into logical sub-questions. It then queries a Super assistant—which you've connected to your own trusted knowledge sources like Notion, Google Drive, or PDFs—to build a comprehensive research brief. Only then is this fact-checked brief handed to a powerful AI writer to compose the final article, complete with source links. This is the ultimate workflow for scaling expert-level content creation. Who is this for? Content marketers & SEO specialists:** Scale the creation of authoritative, expert-level blog posts that are grounded in factual, source-based information. Technical writers & subject matter experts:** Transform your complex internal documentation into accessible public-facing articles, tutorials, and guides. Marketing agencies:** Quickly generate high-quality, well-researched drafts for clients by connecting the workflow to their provided brand and product materials. What problem does this solve? Reduces AI "hallucinations":** By grounding the entire writing process in your own trusted knowledge base, the AI generates content based on facts you provide, not on potentially incorrect information from its general training data. Ensures comprehensive topic coverage:** The initial AI-powered "topic breakdown" step acts like an expert outliner, ensuring the final article is well-structured and covers all key sub-topics. Automates source citation:** The workflow is designed to preserve and integrate source URLs from your knowledge base directly into the final article as hyperlinks, boosting credibility and saving you manual effort. Scales expert content creation:** It effectively mimics the workflow of a human expert (outline, research, consolidate, write) but in an automated, scalable, and incredibly fast way. How it works This workflow follows a sophisticated, multi-step process to ensure the highest quality output: Decomposition: You provide an article title and guidelines via the built-in form. An initial AI call then acts as a "planner," breaking down the main topic into an array of 5-8 logical sub-questions. Fact-based research (RAG): The workflow loops through each of these sub-questions and queries your Super assistant. This assistant, which you have pre-configured and connected to your own knowledge sources (Notion pages, Google Drive folders, PDFs, etc.), finds the relevant information and source links for each point. Consolidation: All the retrieved question-and-answer pairs are compiled into a single, comprehensive research brief. Final article generation: This complete, fact-checked brief is handed to a final, powerful AI writer (e.g., GPT-5). Its instructions are clear: write a high-quality article using only the provided information and integrate the source links as hyperlinks where appropriate. Implementing the template Set up your Super assistant (Prerequisite): First, go to Super, create an assistant, connect it to your knowledge sources (Notion, Drive, etc.), and copy its Assistant ID and your API Token. Configure the workflow: Connect your AI provider (e.g., OpenAI) credentials to the two Language Model nodes (GPT 5 mini and GPT 5 chat). In the Query Super Assistant (HTTP Request) node, paste your Assistant ID in the body and add your Super API Token for authentication (we recommend using a Bearer Token credential). Activate the workflow: Toggle the workflow to "Active" and use the built-in form to generate your first fact-checked article! Taking it further Automate publishing:* Connect the final *Article result* node to a *Webflow* or *WordPress** node to automatically create a draft post in your CMS. Generate content in bulk:* Replace the *Form Trigger* with an *Airtable* or *Google Sheet** trigger to automatically generate a whole batch of articles from your content calendar. Customize the writing style:* Tweak the system prompt in the final *New content - Generate the AI output** node to match your brand's specific tone of voice, add SEO keywords, or include specific calls-to-action.
