Who Is This For?

This workflow is designed for social media managers, content creators, digital marketers, and entrepreneurs who want to automate the entire lifecycle of creating and publishing short-form video content (like TikToks or Instagram Reels). It's perfect for anyone looking to maintain a consistent posting schedule without the manual effort of ideation, video production, and distribution.

What This Workflow Does

This workflow functions as an end-to-end AI-powered video content engine that:

  1. Generates Creative Concepts – Uses AI to brainstorm original, non-human-centric "before/after" transformation video ideas.
  2. Crafts Professional Prompts – Transforms the simple idea into a highly detailed, structured JSON prompt optimized for cinematic AI video generation.
  3. Renders the Video – Sends the prompt to the VEO 3 AI model to generate the video asset.
  4. Monitors and Downloads – Polls the VEO 3 API until the video is ready and then downloads the final file.
  5. Publishes to Social Media – Uploads the video to a media service (Bloatato) and then schedules it for publication on Instagram.
  6. Sends Multi-Channel Notifications – Alerts the user via WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack once the video is successfully published.
  7. Logs Everything – Saves the original idea, captions, prompts, and production status to a Google Sheet for tracking and reference.

Key Features

  • Automated Ideation – AI generates viral video ideas.
  • Smart Prompt Engineering – Converts ideas into production-ready prompts.
  • AI Video Creation – Generates cinematic vertical videos via VEO 3 API.
  • Intelligent Rendering – Monitors and retries video processing automatically.
  • Auto Social Publishing – Uploads and posts to Instagram via Bloatato.
  • Real-Time Notifications – Updates via WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack.
  • Centralized Tracking – Logs all content and status in Google Sheets.

Requirements & Setup

  • AI Model APIs: Access to an OpenAI-compatible API for the AI agents that generate ideas and scripts.
  • VEO 3 API: An active account with api.kie.ai and the necessary Bearer Token for video generation.
  • Bloatato API: Credentials for the Bloatato service to upload media and publish to Instagram.
  • Instagram Account: An Instagram account connected to Bloatato, with its accountId noted.
  • Google Sheets: A Google Sheet to log content, with its ID and Sheet Name (GID) configured.
  • Notification Services:
  • Rapiwa: For WhatsApp notifications.
  • Telegram Bot: For Telegram alerts.
  • Slack App: For Slack messages.
  • Scheduled Trigger: A cron trigger (e.g., 0 8,20 * * *) to run the workflow automatically.
