AI‑Powered Branded Marketing Videos & Shorts (SSO-Optimized for n8n)


🧠 About This Flow

This advanced automation template allows marketing teams, content creators, and branding specialists to automatically generate and publish high-quality, visually captivating branded short videos across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok — with zero manual effort.

The system uses AI-powered prompt generation, media rendering, and multi-platform publishing, combining:

  • 🧠 GPT-4 via OpenRouter – to generate story-rich prompts
  • 🎨 Image creation via FAL AI
  • 🎞️ Video generation via Kling (FAL AI)
  • 🔊 Audio generation via ElevenLabs
  • 🛠️ Video compilation via Creatomate
  • 🌐 Hosting via Blotato
  • 🚀 Publishing via platform-specific authenticated endpoints
  • 📊 Logging via Google Sheets

All credentials and settings are SSO-enabled or environment variable driven, making it easy to reuse across teams and environments.


🚀 How It Works

1. Trigger & Content Fetch

  • Triggered on schedule or manually.
  • Fetches the next unpublished row from a Google Sheet.
  • Columns include: Brand, Title, Caption, Status.

2. AI-Powered Prompt Generation

  • Uses GPT-4 via OpenRouter to generate:
    • image_prompt
    • video_prompt
    • audio_prompt

3. Media Generation

  • Image: FAL Flux-Pro + polling
  • Audio: ElevenLabs (5s ambient loop)
  • Video: Kling via FAL (looped 5s animation)

4. Final Video Rendering

  • Uses Creatomate to assemble assets into a final short.

5. Hosting & Upload

  • Hosted via Blotato with a public URL returned.

6. Platform Publishing

Auto-publishes to:

  • YouTube (unlisted)
  • Instagram Reels
  • TikTok (public)

7. Logging

Updates Google Sheet with:

  • Final video link
  • Status = Published
  • Platform-specific IDs
