n8n Social Media Automation Workflows

Automate a Weekly News Twitter Thread With n8n

Friday morning arrives, and the plan was always to post a quick roundup of the week's best industry stories. Instead, there's a scramble through five browser tabs trying to remember which article was actually worth sharing, followed by a rushed thread with awkward phrasing and a broken link, or — more often — no thread at all, because the moment passed. This guide builds an automation that turns that weekly scramble into something that just happens on its own. Every Friday morning, n8n checks a handful of industry RSS feeds, picks out the top five most recent stories, and posts them as a properly threaded tweet — no last-minute tab-hunting required. This guide's specific technical focus covers three things worth understanding properly: scheduling a workflow to run on a specific day and time, working with lists of data (sorting and trimming them down to the best few), and posting a...

Automated Reddit Brand Monitor With Discord Alerts

Someone posts a complaint about your product on a subreddit nobody on your team checks regularly. Three days later, it has forty comments and a screenshot floating around Twitter, and the first anyone on the community team hears about it is from a customer asking why nobody responded. The original post, if someone had seen it within the first hour, would have taken five minutes to resolve. This guide builds an automation that closes that gap. The moment your brand name gets mentioned on Reddit, a formatted alert lands directly in a Discord channel, with a link straight to the post. No manual searching, no scraping tools, and no need to check Reddit throughout the day just in case. This guide's specific technical focus covers three things that trip people up the first time they build something like this: reading Reddit's built-in RSS feeds instead of scraping the site directly,...

Auto-Publish Videos to YouTube, IG & TikTok (n8n)

A creator finishes editing a short video, uploads it to TikTok, and then spends the next fifteen minutes doing it all over again — re-uploading to YouTube Shorts, re-typing the caption for Instagram, re-adding hashtags for each platform's audience. Multiply that by every video, every week, and the actual editing stops being the time-consuming part. This guide builds an automation that removes that repetition. Drop one finished video into a folder, and n8n publishes it to all three platforms on its own, with a properly formatted caption for each one. Fair warning before starting: this is the most involved workflow in this series, because it requires setting up developer access with three separate companies, each with its own approval process and its own way of accepting a video file. This guide's specific technical focus covers exactly that — how n8n handles a video file as it moves through the workflow,...

How to Automate YouTube Shorts with n8n (Beginner Guide)

You type one sentence — say, "an interesting fact about jellyfish" — and a few minutes later you have a finished, voiced, edited short-form video ready to post on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels. No filming, no editing software, no voice actor. That's what this workflow does. It's built in n8n, a visual automation tool where you connect boxes ("nodes") together instead of writing a full application from scratch. Behind the scenes it chains together several AI services — one to write the script, one to generate the voiceover, one to generate images, one to turn those images into short video clips, and one to edit everything into a final video. This guide walks through the entire build, node by node, in plain language. If you've never opened n8n before, you should still be able to follow along. At the end, you'll also get a ready-to-import JSON template so...
