Automated TikTok Repurposing & Video Generation Workflow Who’s it for This workflow is designed for content creators, social media managers, and marketers—specifically those in the career, recruitment, or "job change" (転職/就職) niches. It is ideal for anyone looking to automate the process of finding trending short-form content concepts and converting them into fresh AI-generated videos. How it works / What it does This workflow automates the pipeline from content research to video creation: Scrape Data: It triggers an Apify actor (clockworks/tiktok-scraper) to search and scrape TikTok videos related to "Job Change" (転職) and "Employment" (就職). Store Raw Data: It saves the scraped TikTok metadata (text, stats, author info) into a Google Sheet. AI Analysis & Prompting: An AI Agent (via OpenRouter) analyzes the scraped video content and creates a detailed prompt for a new video (concept, visual cues, aspect ratio). Log Prompts: The generated prompt is saved to a separate tab in the Google Sheet. Video Generation: The prompt is sent to Fal AI (Veo3 model) to generate a new 8-second, vertical (9:16) video with audio. Wait & Retrieve: The workflow waits for the generation to complete, then retrieves the video file. Cloud Storage: Finally, it uploads the generated video file to a specific Google Drive folder. How to set up Credentials: Configure the following credentials in n8n: Apify API: (Currently passed via URL query params in the workflow, recommended to switch to Header Auth). Google Sheets OAuth2: Connect your Google account. OpenRouter API: For the AI Agent. Fal AI (Header Auth): For the video generation API. Google Drive OAuth2: For uploading the final video. Google Sheets: Create a spreadsheet. Note the documentId and update the Google Sheets nodes. Ensure you have the necessary Sheet names (e.g., "シート1" for raw data, "生成済み" for prompts) and columns mapped. Google Drive: Create a destination folder. Update the Upload file node with the correct folderId. Apify: Update the token in the HTTP Request and HTTP Request1 URLs with your own Apify API token. Requirements n8n Version:** 1.x or higher (Workflow uses version 4.3 nodes). Apify Account:** With access to clockworks/tiktok-scraper and sufficient credits. Fal.ai Account:** With credits for the fal-ai/veo3 model. OpenRouter Account:** With credits for the selected LLM. Google Workspace:** Access to Drive and Sheets. How to customize the workflow Change the Niche:* Update the searchQueries JSON body in the first *HTTP Request** node (e.g., change "転職" to "Cooking" or "Fitness"). Adjust AI Logic:* Modify the *AI Agent** system prompt to change the style, tone, or structure of the video prompts it generates. Video Settings:* In the *Fal Submit** node, adjust bodyParameters to change the duration (e.g., 5s), aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9), or disable audio. Scale:* Increase the amount in the *Limit** node to process more than one video per execution.

AI Content Summarizer Suite This n8n template collection demonstrates how to build a comprehensive AI-powered content summarization system that handles multiple input types: URLs, raw text, and PDF files. Built as 4 separate workflows for maximum flexibility. Use cases: Research workflows, content curation, document processing, meeting prep, social media content creation, or integrating smart summarization into any app or platform. How it works Multi-input handling: Separate workflows for URLs (web scraping), direct text input, and PDF file processing Smart PDF processing: Attempts text extraction first, falls back to OCR.Space for image-based PDFs AI summarization: Uses OpenAI's GPT-4.1-mini with customizable length (brief/standard/detailed) and focus areas (key points/numbers/conclusions/action items) Language support: Multi-language summaries with automatic language detection Flexible output: Returns clean markdown-formatted summaries via webhook responses Unified option: The all-in-one workflow automatically detects input type and routes accordingly How to use Replace webhook triggers with your preferred method (manual, form, API endpoint) Each workflow accepts different parameters: URL, text content, or file upload Customize summary length and focus in the AI prompt nodes Authentication is optional - switch to "none" if running internally Perfect for integration with Bubble, Zapier, or any platform that can make HTTP requests Requirements OpenAI API key or OpenRouter Keys OCR.Space API key (for PDF fallback processing) n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) Any platform that can make HTTP requests. Setup Steps Replace "Dummy OpenAI" with your OpenAI credentials Add your OCR.Space API key in the OCR nodes is not mandatory. Update webhook authentication as needed Test each workflow path individually

TikTok Trend Analyzer with Apify + Gemini + Airtable Automatically scrape trending TikTok videos, analyze their virality using Gemini AI, and store insights directly into Airtable for creative research or content planning. Who’s it for? Marketing analysts, creators, and creative agencies looking to understand why videos go viral and how to replicate successful hooks and formats. How it works A scheduled trigger runs the Apify TikTok Trends Scraper weekly. The scraper collects trending video metadata. Data is stored in Airtable (views, likes, captions, sounds, etc.). When a specific video is submitted via webhook, the workflow fetches it from Airtable. Gemini AI analyzes the video and extracts structured insights: summary, visual hook, audio, and subtitle analysis. The workflow updates the Airtable record with these AI insights. How to set up Connect Apify and Airtable credentials, link Gemini or OpenAI keys, and adjust the schedule frequency. Add your Airtable base and table IDs. You can trigger analysis manually via the webhook endpoint.

Automate multi-document handling with AI-powered extraction that adapts to any format and organizes it instantly.
