Translate 🎙️and upload dubbed YouTube videos 📺 using ElevenLabs AI Dubbing

This workflow automates the end-to-end process of **video dubbing** using **ElevenLabs**, storage on Google Drive, and publishing on **Youtube**. This workflow is ideal for creators, agencies, and media teams that need to **TRANSLATE process** and publish large volumes of video content consistently. For this workflow, I started from my [Italian YouTube Short](https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/play/580928/c445daec-e3fe-4019-b035-58ac3bf386dd), and by applying the same workflow, the result was this [English version](https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/play/580928/2179db44-e7e2-43e6-82a1-13b12e18ba8b). --- ### Key Advantages #### 1. ✅ Full Automation of Video Localization The entire process—from video download to AI dubbing and publishing—is automated, eliminating manual steps and reducing human error. #### 2. ✅ Fast Multilingual Content Scaling With AI-powered dubbing, the same video can be quickly localized into different languages, enabling global audience expansion. #### 3. ✅ Efficient Time Management The workflow intelligently waits for the dubbing process to finish using dynamic timing, avoiding unnecessary retries or failures. #### 4. ✅ Centralized Content Distribution A single workflow handles storage, social posting, and YouTube uploads, simplifying content operations across platforms. #### 5. ✅ Reduced Operational Costs Automating dubbing and publishing significantly lowers costs compared to manual voiceovers, video editing, and uploads. #### 6. ✅ Easy Customization & Reusability Parameters like video URL, language, title, and platform can be easily changed, making the workflow reusable for different projects or clients. --- ### **How It Works** 1. The workflow begins with a manual trigger that sets input parameters: a video URL and the target language for dubbing (e.g., `en` for English). 2. The video is fetched from the provided URL via an HTTP request. 3. The video file is sent to the **ElevenLabs Dubbing API**, which initiates audio dubbing in the specified target language. 4. The workflow then waits for a calculated duration (video length + 120 seconds) to allow the dubbing process to complete. 5. After the wait, it checks the dubbing status using the `dubbing_id` and retrieves the final dubbed audio file. 6. The dubbed video is then processed in parallel: - Uploaded to **Google Drive** in a designated folder. - Uploaded to **Postiz** for social media management. - Uploaded via **Upload-Post.com API** for YouTube publishing. 7. Finally, the workflow triggers a **Postiz** node to schedule or publish the content to YouTube with the prepared metadata. --- ### **Set Up Steps** 1. **Configure Input Parameters** In the *Set params* node, define: - `video_url`: Direct URL to the source video. - `target_audio`: Language code (e.g., `en`, `es`, `fr`) for dubbing. 2. **Set Up Credentials** Ensure the following credentials are configured in n8n: - **[ElevenLabs API](https://try.elevenlabs.io/ahkbf00hocnu)** (for dubbing) - **Google Drive OAuth2** (for file upload) - **[Postiz API](https://affiliate.postiz.com/n3witalia)** (for social media scheduling) - **[Upload-Post.com API](https://www.upload-post.com/?linkId=lp_144414&sourceId=n3witalia&tenantId=upload-post-app)** (for YouTube upload) 3. **Adjust Wait Time** Modify the *Wait* node if needed: `expected_duration_sec + 120` ensures enough time for dubbing. Adjust based on video length. 4. **Customize Upload Destinations** Update folder IDs (Google Drive) and platform settings (Upload-Post.com) as needed. 5. **Set Post Content** In the *Youtube Postiz* and *Youtube Upload-Post* nodes, replace `YOUR_CONTENT` and `YOUR_USERNAME` with actual titles, descriptions, and channel details. 6. **Activate and Test** Activate the workflow in n8n, click *Execute workflow*, and monitor execution for errors. Ensure all API keys and permissions are valid. --- 👉 [Subscribe to my new **YouTube channel**](https://youtube.com/@n3witalia).

Create a daily AI & automation content digest from YouTube, Reddit, X and Perplexity with OpenAI and Airtable

What It Does This workflow automates the creation of a daily AI and automation content digest by aggregating trending content from four sources: YouTube (n8n-related videos with AI-generated transcript summaries), Reddit (rising posts from r/n8n), X/Twitter (tweets about n8n, AI automation, AI agents, and Claude via Apify scraping), and Perplexity AI (top 3 trending AI news stories). The collected data is analyzed using OpenAI models to extract key insights, stored in Airtable for archival, and then compiled into a beautifully formatted HTML email report that includes TL;DR highlights, content summaries, trending topics, and AI-generated content ideas—delivered straight to your inbox via Gmail. --- Setup Guide Prerequisites You will need accounts and API credentials for the following services: ┌──────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Service │ Purpose │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ YouTube Data API │ Fetch video metadata and search results │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Apify │ Scrape YouTube transcripts and X/Twitter data │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Reddit API │ Pull trending posts from subreddits │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Perplexity AI │ Get real-time AI news summaries │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ OpenAI │ Content analysis and summarization │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ OpenRouter │ Report generation (GPT-4.1) │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Airtable │ Store collected content │ ├──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Gmail │ Send the daily report │ └──────────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Step-by-Step Setup 1. Import the workflow into your n8n instance 2. Configure YouTube credentials: - Set up YouTube OAuth2 credentials - Replace YOURAPIKEY in the "Get Video Data" HTTP Request node with your YouTube Data API key 3. Configure Apify credentials: - In the "Get Transcripts" and "Scrape X" HTTP Request nodes, replace YOURAPIKEY in the Authorization header with your Apify API token 4. Configure Reddit credentials: - Set up Reddit OAuth2 credentials (see note below) 5. Configure AI service credentials: - Add your Perplexity API credentials - Add your OpenAI API credentials - Add your OpenRouter API credentials 6. Configure Airtable: - Create a base called "AI Content Hub" with three tables: YouTube Videos, Reddit Posts, and Tweets - Update the Airtable nodes with your base and table IDs 7. Configure Gmail: - Set up Gmail OAuth2 credentials - Replace YOUREMAIL in the Gmail node with your recipient email address 8. Customize search terms (optional): - Modify the YouTube search query in "Get Videos" node - Adjust the subreddit in "n8n Trending" node - Update Twitter search terms in "Scrape X" node Important Note: Reddit API Access The Reddit node requires OAuth2 authentication. If you do not already have a Reddit developer account, you will need to submit a request for API access: 1. Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps 2. Click "create another app..." at the bottom 3. Select "script" as the application type 4. Fill in the required fields (name, redirect URI as http://localhost) 5. Important: Reddit now requires additional approval for API access. Visit https://www.reddit.com/wiki/api to review their API terms and submit an access request if prompted 6. Once approved, use your client ID and client secret to configure the Reddit OAuth2 credentials in n8n API approval can take 1-3 business days depending on your use case. --- Recommended Schedule Set up a Schedule Trigger to run this workflow daily (e.g., 7:00 AM) for a fresh content digest each morning.
