Auto-Publish Social Videos to 9 Platforms via Google Sheets and Blotato

Who is this workflow for?

This workflow is ideal for marketers, content creators, virtual assistants, and automation specialists managing multi-platform video content. It’s especially useful for teams who want to centralize publishing via a spreadsheet and automate social distribution in one shot.

What problem does this workflow solve?

Manually posting videos to multiple social platforms is tedious and time-consuming. This workflow allows you to streamline video distribution using Blotato’s API — no more switching between platforms or re-uploading the same video multiple times.

What this workflow does

This automation reads video metadata (URL, caption, title) from a Google Sheet, uploads the video to Blotato, and automatically publishes it to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Twitter (X), Pinterest, and Bluesky.

It also updates the sheet to reflect the publishing status (STATUS = DONE), ensuring that your data remains clean and trackable.

Setup

  1. Set up your Google Sheet with the required columns: PROMPT, DESCRIPTION, URL VIDEO, Titre, row_number, and STATUS.
  2. Add your Blotato API key in the headers of the Upload Video and Post to X nodes.
  3. Replace the platform-specific IDs in the Assign Social Media IDs node (Instagram ID, Facebook Page ID, etc.).
  4. Set the schedule in the Schedule Trigger node to define when the publishing happens.

> ⚠️ Disclaimer: This workflow uses Community Nodes. These are only available on self-hosted n8n instances.

How to customize this workflow

  • Add logic to skip rows already marked as DONE.
  • Expand to more platforms supported by Blotato.
  • Use a webhook or Telegram trigger instead of the scheduler for more interactivity.
  • Modify content per platform if needed (caption formatting, hashtags, etc.).
