Repurpose viral content into AI visuals and post to Instagram and Facebook with Blotato

Description Automatically turn any viral content URL (Blog, YouTube, TikTok, etc.) into AI-generated visuals and publish them to multiple social platforms with built-in status validation and async processing control. --- Who is this for? This template is ideal for: - Content creators repurposing viral content - Affiliate marketers scaling content distribution - Social media managers handling multi-platform posting - AI automation builders using n8n + Blotato - Teams that want a URL → Visual → Publish pipeline If you want to transform existing content into multi-platform social posts automatically, this workflow is for you. --- What problem is this workflow solving? Manually repurposing and posting viral content is slow and fragmented. Common challenges include: - Copying content from blogs or videos manually - Waiting for AI extraction and rendering without clear status - Switching between multiple tools - Posting separately to each platform - Not knowing when processing fails This workflow connects extraction, visual generation, and publishing into one automated pipeline. --- What this workflow does This automated repurposing workflow: - Accepts a public content URL - Creates a Source processing job - Waits for AI extraction to complete - Fetches structured content - Routes based on source status (failed / completed / processing) - Creates a Visual generation job via Blotato - Waits for AI rendering - Retrieves generated visual/video output - Validates render completion - Publishes automatically to: - Instagram - Facebook Workflow pattern used: Create → Wait → Get → Check → Publish --- Setup 1. Configure URL Input - Use Submit Content URL - Provide a valid public link (Blog, YouTube, TikTok, etc.) - This triggers the automation --- 2. Configure Source Processing Create Source - Connect extraction service credentials - Map URL correctly Wait for Source Processing - Adjust delay based on API performance Get Source - Ensure correct Source ID mapping Source Status Switch - Configure routing for: - failed - completed - processing Only completed sources proceed to visual generation. --- 3. Configure Blotato (Visual Generation) Create Visual - Connect Blotato credentials - Map structured content into the visual prompt Wait for Visual Rendering - Adjust timing based on rendering duration Get Visual - Ensure correct Visual ID mapping Visual Status Check - Only proceed if status = completed --- 4. Configure Social Publishing Publish to Instagram - Connect Instagram credentials - Verify media posting permissions Publish to Facebook - Connect Facebook Page credentials - Ensure correct page selection Test with one URL before running at scale. --- How to customize this workflow to your needs You can extend this workflow by: - Adding Slack/Telegram approval before publishing - Adding AI caption or hashtag generation - Inserting retry logic for failed renders - Logging results into Google Sheets - Extending to LinkedIn or TikTok - Adding analytics tracking after publishing --- Best practices - Keep wait durations aligned with API speed - Always validate job status before moving forward - Test with short-form content first - Monitor failed execution branches - Keep consistent ID mapping for Source and Visual jobs --- Documentation For a full walkthrough and advanced scaling ideas, see: Video Guide
