1.1 Workflow description

Title: Generate VEED AI talking head videos from sheet rows with OpenAI or ElevenLabs
Workflow name: Generate VEED AI talking head videos from sheet rows with OpenAI or ElevenLabs

A production-ready n8n workflow that generates AI avatar videos from images and text using VEED Fabric 1.0, with flexible multi-platform publishing capabilities.

Key Capabilities

Unlimited Scale

Process any number of videos: Sequential processing ensures each video is fully generated and published before moving to the next
Batch processing: Add multiple video requests to Google Sheet and let the workflow process them automatically
No context mixing: Each video maintains its own configuration throughout the entire pipeline

Flexible Publishing

Per-video platform selection: Each video can target different platforms (e.g., Video 1 → Instagram+YouTube, Video 2 → Telegram only)
Optional publishing: Leave PLATFORMS column empty to generate videos without publishing (videos saved to Drive)
Supported platforms: Instagram Reels, YouTube/Shorts, Facebook, Telegram, Threads
Platform-specific formatting: Automatic optimization for each platform's requirements

Smart Processing

Two TTS providers: Choose OpenAI or ElevenLabs per video
Configurable quality: Select resolution (480p/720p) and aspect ratio (9:16, 16:9, 1:1) per video
Approval workflow: Review videos before publishing with email approve/reject buttons
Error handling: Automatic error detection with detailed email notifications

Status Tracking

Real-time status updates: Google Sheet updates as workflow progresses (new → processing → published)
Detailed results: Per-platform success/failure tracking with post URLs
Email reports: Comprehensive publishing reports with links to all posted content

How It Works

Input: Add rows to Google Sheet with video details
TTS: Generate speech using OpenAI or ElevenLabs
Video: VEED Fabric 1.0 creates talking head video
Approval: Email with video preview and approve/reject buttons
Publish: Sequential publishing to selected platforms
Report: Status update in sheet + email with results

Requirements

Fal.ai API Key (for VEED)
Google OAuth (Sheets, Drive, Gmail)
TTS: OpenAI or ElevenLabs API Key
Social Media credentials (optional, only for platforms you use)
Telegram Bot Token (optional, only for Telegram)

Send daily LinkedIn post drafts with Tavily, Groq Llama 3.3 and Gmail

## Quick overview This workflow runs daily at 8 AM to rotate through a topic list, research it with Tavily web search, generate a LinkedIn post and image prompt with Groq (Llama 3.3 70B), create a Pollinations.ai image URL, and email you the post with the image attached via Gmail. ## How it works 1. Runs every day at 8:00 AM on a schedule. 2. Selects today’s topic from a rotating list based on the day of the year. 3. Searches the web with Tavily to fetch up-to-date results for the selected topic. 4. Uses a Groq-hosted Llama model to write a LinkedIn post and a matching image prompt grounded in the Tavily results. 5. Builds a Pollinations.ai image generation URL from the image prompt and downloads the generated image file. 6. Emails the post text with the image attached via Gmail, and sends a text-only fallback email if image generation or download fails. ## Setup 1. Add a Groq API credential to the Groq Chat Model node. 2. Create a Tavily API key and configure HTTP Header Auth with `Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TAVILY_KEY>` for the Tavily Search request. 3. Connect a Gmail OAuth2 credential and update the recipient email address in both Gmail send steps. 4. Edit the topic list in the topic-selection code step if you want different rotating themes. ## Requirements - Groq API key (free tier available) - Tavily API key (free tier — 1,000 searches/month) - Gmail account (OAuth2) ## Customization - Edit the topic list inside the "Pick Today's Topic" code node to change what subjects the post rotates through. - Change the Groq model in the "Groq Chat Model" node if you want a different LLM (e.g. a smaller/faster or larger Groq model). - Adjust the schedule trigger if you want a different posting time, or swap the Gmail "send to" address to deliver the draft to someone else for review. ## Additional info This workflow emails you a draft for manual review before posting — it does not post to LinkedIn automatically. If image generation fails, a text-only fallback email is sent instead so you never miss the post text.

Generate VEO3 videos from form ideas with ChatGPT, fal.ai, Drive and Gmail

## Quick overview This workflow collects a video idea via an n8n Form, uses OpenAI to turn it into an optimized prompt, generates an 8-second VEO3 video with native audio via fal.ai, saves the MP4 to Google Drive, and emails the Drive link via Gmail. ## How it works 1. Receives a submission from an n8n Form with the requester’s email, a plain-English video idea, and a selected style. 2. Uses OpenAI (via an AI Agent) to convert the idea and style into a structured VEO3 title and detailed prompt returned as JSON. 3. Cleans and parses the AI JSON, creates a filename-safe title, and sets the generation parameters to 16:9 and 8 seconds. 4. Submits the prompt to fal.ai’s queue endpoint for the fal-ai/veo3 model and gets a request ID. 5. Polls fal.ai every 30 seconds until the job status returns COMPLETED. 6. Retrieves the final MP4 URL from fal.ai, downloads the video, uploads it to Google Drive, and emails the Google Drive web link to the requester via Gmail. ## Setup 1. Create a fal.ai account, generate an API key, and replace `YOUR_FAL_AI_API_KEY` in the fal.ai HTTP request headers. 2. Add an OpenAI API credential in the OpenAI Chat Model node and select the model you want to use. 3. Connect Google Drive OAuth2 and replace `YOUR_GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID` with the target folder ID where videos should be saved. 4. Connect Gmail OAuth2 for sending emails, then activate the workflow and use the Form URL (path `veo3-video-generator`) to submit requests.

Generate presentation decks from prompts with Encelade

## Quick overview This workflow starts a presentation generation job in Encelade from a prompt and outline hints, polls Encelade for completion, and outputs the finished deck link (or stops with an error if generation fails). ## How it works 1. Starts when you manually execute the workflow in n8n. 2. Sends the topic, slide count, audience, tone, theme settings, and outline hints to Encelade to generate a 6-slide presentation. 3. Waits 20 seconds and then checks the Encelade session status using the returned session ID. 4. If the session phase is not finished, it keeps waiting and rechecking until the phase changes. 5. When the phase is "done", it returns the generated deck link and project PID. 6. When the phase is "failed", it stops the workflow and raises an error with the failure details. ## Setup 1. Install and configure Encelade credentials in n8n for the Encelade node. 2. Update the generation inputs (topic, page count, outline hints, audience/tone, theme mode, and media provider) to match the deck you want to create. 3. Ensure the workflow has enough time to complete by adjusting the 20-second wait interval if your Encelade generations typically take longer.
