1.1 Workflow description

Title: Generate and publish AI home cam Shorts with OpenAI, kie.ai and YouTube
Workflow name: Generate and publish AI home cam Shorts with OpenAI, kie.ai and YouTube

Quick overview

This workflow runs three times daily to generate an AI “home cam” short video concept with OpenAI, create the video via kie.ai, then download and archive it to Google Drive, upload it to YouTube as a public video, and send a confirmation email via Gmail.

How it works

Runs on a schedule three times a day (08:00, 12:00, and 18:00).
Selects a random scenario number from the configured range and asks OpenAI (GPT-4.1-mini) to generate a title, description, tags, and a detailed text-to-video prompt as structured JSON.
Builds a kie.ai Sora-2 text-to-video job request using the generated prompt and submits it to the kie.ai API.
Waits and repeatedly polls kie.ai until the job succeeds and returns a result payload containing a video download URL.
Downloads the generated video file from the returned URL.
Uploads the video to a specified Google Drive folder, publishes it to YouTube with the AI-generated metadata, and emails you a notification containing the prompt and video link.

Setup

Add an OpenAI API credential, a kie.ai API key using HTTP Header Auth, and OAuth credentials for Google Drive, YouTube, and Gmail.
In the workflow variables, set your notification email address, the target Google Drive folder ID, and the callback URL value used in the kie.ai request.
Review or adjust the random scenario range (videoIdeaMin/videoIdeaMax) and YouTube upload settings (for example, privacyStatus and notifySubscribers) before activating the workflow.

Requirements

OpenAI API credential
kie.ai API key
OAuth credentials for Google Drive, YouTube, and Gmail

Score company ad spend from Meta, Google and LinkedIn Ads with Google Sheets

## Quick Overview This workflow pulls Pending companies from Google Sheets, checks their ad activity via Adyntel for Meta (Facebook), Google Ads, and LinkedIn Ads, calculates a budget signal score from ad volume and channel diversity, and writes the results back to the same sheet. ## How it works 1. Runs when you manually execute the workflow in n8n. 2. Reads rows from Google Sheets where the Status column is set to Pending. 3. Processes each company domain in sequence and queries Adyntel for Meta (Facebook) ads, Google Ads, and LinkedIn Ads. 4. Combines the three ad search results into a single dataset for the current company. 5. Calculates per-platform ad counts, total ads, active platforms, channel diversity, and a composite budget_signal_score. 6. Updates the matching row in Google Sheets (by domain), writes the scoring fields, and sets Status to Done before moving to the next company. ## Setup 1. Connect Google Sheets OAuth credentials and set the target spreadsheet and sheet where your company list lives. 2. Add Adyntel API credentials so the workflow can query Meta (Facebook), Google Ads, and LinkedIn Ads by company domain. 3. Ensure your Google Sheet includes at least company_name, domain, and Status columns, with Status set to Pending for rows you want to process.

Prioritize exception queues with Gemini, Google Sheets, Slack and Gmail

## Quick Overview This workflow receives a webhook trigger, reads exception records from Google Sheets, uses Google Gemini (Generative Language API) to rank and summarize them, posts a prioritized report to Slack, writes summary metrics back to Google Sheets, and emails a critical alert via Gmail when needed. ## How it works 1. Receives a webhook request to start an exception-queue analysis run. 2. Reads the current exception list from a Google Sheets worksheet and stops with a “No open exceptions found” webhook response if there are no rows. 3. Formats the sheet rows into a structured text list and sends it to the Google Gemini API to generate a ranked, scored priority list plus summary counts. 4. Parses the Gemini response and builds Slack Block Kit content, an HTML email body for critical items, and fields for saving analysis metadata. 5. Appends or updates a summary row in a second Google Sheets worksheet with the AI summary and severity counts. 6. Posts the ranked exception report to a Slack channel. 7. If any critical exceptions are detected, sends an alert email via Gmail, then returns a JSON “Done” response to the original webhook caller with processing statistics. ## Setup 1. Add credentials for Google Sheets OAuth2, Slack OAuth2, and Gmail OAuth2 in n8n. 2. Provide a Google Gemini API key and update the HTTP request to use it (preferably via an n8n credential or environment variable rather than hard-coding). 3. Update the Google Sheets document ID and ensure Sheet1 contains columns like ExceptionID, Title, Severity, System, and ReportedAt, and Sheet2 has columns for summary and count fields used by the workflow. 4. Select the target Slack channel in the Slack node and confirm it matches where you want the priority report posted. 5. Configure the Gmail node with the recipient(s) and ensure your webhook URL (path: /exception-trigger) is used by the system that should trigger the analysis.

Send end-of-day ops summaries with Google Sheets, Gemini, Slack and Gmail

## Quick Overview This workflow runs daily at 6 PM to pull trade breaks, failed trades, and exceptions from Google Sheets, calculate resolved vs pending counts with a severity/trend classification, generate an end-of-day summary with Google Gemini, optionally alert Slack for high pending volume, email the report via Gmail, and log results back to Google Sheets. ## How it works 1. Runs every day at 6 PM on a schedule trigger. 2. Reads rows from three Google Sheets tabs containing trade breaks, failed trades, and exceptions, then merges them into a single dataset. 3. Filters to records with a non-empty Status field and calculates total issues plus resolved vs pending counts. 4. Classifies overall severity (LOW–CRITICAL) and trend (IMPROVING/WORSENING/STABLE) based on pending and resolved counts. 5. Sends the metrics to Google Gemini to generate a formatted Summary and Email body. 6. Posts a high-priority Slack alert when pending issues exceed 5, and then extracts the generated email body. 7. Sends the end-of-day summary via Gmail and appends the date, counts, severity, trend, and summary to a Google Sheets log tab. ## Setup 1. Connect a Google Sheets OAuth2 account and update the spreadsheet ID and sheet/tab IDs for the three input tabs and the output log tab. 2. Ensure each source sheet includes a Status column with values such as “resolved” so the workflow can compute resolved vs pending. 3. Add a Google Gemini (PaLM) API credential for the AI-generated summary and email text. 4. Add a Slack OAuth2 credential and select the destination channel for high-priority alerts. 5. Add a Gmail OAuth2 credential and set the recipient(s) in the Gmail node so the end-of-day email goes to the right inbox.
