ChannelCrawler API to Google Slides Template

This template shows how you can use the ChannelCrawler API alongside ChatGPT (or any LLM) to generate google slides using images and texts received from the API

How it Works

  1. A user inputs the link to the Youtube channel(s) of their target creators
  2. The list is parsed by a python script, returning it in a format that can be ran in a loop
  3. The workflow iterates over each channel url
  4. The url is passed to the ChannelCrawler API, where it returns a json of the creators profile.
  5. The OpenAI node processes the description and content of the creators profile to create a summary
  6. We retrieve the google slides presentation using the get presentation node.
  7. We use the Google Slides API to duplicate an existing page and pull back the original page as it has a new revision ID
  8. We use the Google Slides API to change the image placeholder of the of the image Presentation
  9. Lastly we update other placeholders in with text from the ChannelCrawler and ChatGPT outputs

How to Use

  • From executing the workflow, a pop up form will come up where you can insert the Youtube Channel urls
  • On submission, provided the prerequisites are set up - rest of the workflow will be triggered

Use Cases

  • You can create profiles on influencers and creators with extensive data points from the ChannelCrawler API and consistent summarisation from GPT

Prerequisites

ChannelCrawler Account - there's a great pay as you go options for access to the API OpenAI account - the you can access free Open AI credit if you are a first time n8n user! Check the credentials options in the node Google account (For slides) - You should have a google account or sign up for google with your non google email

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/10197/10197.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
