Workflow name
Generate multi-platform social media posts with GPT-4.1 and PostPulse

Description

This workflow allows you to turn any idea for a post into platform-specific content using AI. You simply provide the concept, topic, or description of a post, and the AI generates drafts adapted to multiple social media platforms — LinkedIn, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, X/Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky and Threads. Posts are created in PostPulse ready for review, scheduling, or publishing.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This workflow uses the community node @postpulse/n8n-nodes-postpulse. Make sure community nodes are enabled in your n8n instance before importing and using this template. 👉 To install it: Go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter:"@postpulse/n8n-nodes-postpulse". 💡 For more details, see n8n Integration Guide: PostPulse Developers – n8n Integration

Who Is This For?

  • Social media managers who want to create content for multiple platforms quickly.
  • Content creators who need posts automatically adapted to different platforms’ character limits.
  • Agencies managing multiple accounts who want to save time on copywriting and formatting.

What Problem Does This Workflow Solve?

Instead of manually writing, adapting, and publishing posts, you get:

  • AI-powered content creation: Generate posts from any idea you provide.
  • Platform optimization: Posts are automatically adapted to platform-specific character limits and formatting.
  • Seamless publishing: Draft posts are sent to PostPulse for scheduling or immediate publishing.
  • Hashtag suggestions: AI adds relevant hashtags for each platform.
  • Time saving: Automates content generation and publishing, freeing you for more strategic tasks.

How It Works

This workflow takes your idea, generates platform-specific posts with AI, and sends them to PostPulse:

1. Idea input: Enter any post concept in the idea node. 2. Setting Restrictions and Hashtags: Optional: adjust character limits or the number of hashtags. 3. AI Content Adapter: Generates text for each platform based on the input idea. 4. Unification of Platforms and Text + Merge: Aligns AI-generated content with the correct platforms. 5. Publish Post: Creates draft posts in PostPulse ready for scheduling or publishing.

Setup

1. Connect PostPulse to n8n

  • Request your OAuth client key and secret from PostPulse support at [email protected].
  • Add your PostPulse account in the Credentials section in n8n.

2. Enter an idea in the idea node

  • Type any concept, topic, or description of a post.

3. (Optional) Adjust restrictions in Setting Restrictions and Hashtags node

  • Change maximum characters per platform or number of hashtags if desired.

4. Run the workflow

  • AI generates platform-specific drafts and sends them to PostPulse as draft posts.

Requirements

  • Connected PostPulse accounts (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Telegram, Bluesky, X, Threads).
  • OAuth client key and secret obtained from PostPulse.
  • An n8n instance with community nodes enabled.

✨ With this workflow, PostPulse and n8n become your all-in-one automation hub for generating and publishing social media posts.

How To Customize The Workflow

This workflow is flexible and adaptable to your needs:

  • Character limits: Adjust maximum characters per platform while respecting platform limits.
  • Hashtags: Modify the number of hashtags added by the AI.
  • AI prompt: Change text tone or style in the AI Content Adapter node.
  • Add platforms: Extend supported platforms by updating platform mappings in the workflow.
  • Scheduling: Adjust scheduledTime in Publish Post node for automated scheduling.

💡 Tip: Fully functional out-of-the-box, but easily customizable to match your brand’s tone, posting strategy, or any platform-specific rules.
