Overview

Unlock Automated Social Promotion with this AI Agent

This AI Agent streamlines your content promotion by connecting your YouTube channel to X (formerly Twitter). It regularly checks for your latest YouTube uploads, then employs an OpenAI model (ChatGPT) to intelligently generate a concise and engaging promotional post. The post, including the video title, description, and a direct link, is then automatically published to your X account. This frees up your time while ensuring your new video content gets immediate social media exposure.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Automated New Video Detection: Regularly scans your YouTube channel for new uploads based on a schedule (default: every 30 minutes).
  • AI-Powered Post Generation: Leverages OpenAI's ChatGPT to create compelling X posts tailored to your video's content, adhering to character limits.
  • Direct X Publishing: Seamlessly posts the AI-generated content directly to your connected X account.
  • Time-Saving Automation: Eliminates the manual effort of creating and scheduling promotional posts for each new video.
  • Increased Engagement: Drives traffic to your YouTube videos by promptly sharing them with your X followers.
  • Customizable: The AI prompt for post generation can be easily modified to suit your brand's voice and specific requirements.

Use Cases

  • B2C e-commerce: Automatically announce new product demo videos or tutorials on X to drive traffic and engagement.
  • B2B SaaS: Instantly share new feature release videos or webinar recordings on X, maximizing reach to potential and existing clients.
  • Solopreneurs & Content Creators: Effortlessly promote new YouTube content on X, saving time and maintaining a consistent social media presence.
  • Marketing Agencies: Automate client YouTube video promotions on X as part of a social media management service.

Prerequisites

  • An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
  • YouTube API credentials (OAuth2 for the 'Fetch Latest Videos' node).
  • OpenAI API Key with access to a model like 'gpt-3.5-turbo' or newer.
  • X (Twitter) API credentials (OAuth2 V2 for the 'Post to X' node).
  • Your YouTube Channel ID (find it at youtube.com/account_advanced).

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
  2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
  3. Configure the 'Check Every 30 Min' (Schedule Trigger) node: Adjust the interval if a 30-minute check is not optimal for your needs.
  4. Configure the 'Fetch Latest Videos' (YouTube) node:
    • Create or select your YouTube OAuth2 credentials.
    • In the 'Channel ID' parameter, replace the placeholder with your actual YouTube Channel ID.
    • The 'Published After' parameter is dynamically set to fetch videos from the last 30 minutes. Adjust this logic if your trigger schedule is different.
  5. Configure the 'Generate Post for X with ChatGPT' (OpenAI) node:
    • Create or select your OpenAI API credentials and enter your API Key.
    • Review and customize the prompt in the 'Messages' parameter if you want to change how the X post is generated (e.g., tone, length, specific hashtags).
  6. Configure the 'Post to X' (Twitter) node:
    • Create or select your X (Twitter) OAuth2 API credentials.
  7. Ensure all credentials are correctly set up and nodes are configured as per the sticky notes in the workflow for guidance.
  8. Activate the workflow.
