1.1 Workflow description

Title: YouTube Videos to Viral X Threads by Keywords (using Gemini & Claude)
Workflow name: YouTube Videos to Viral X Threads by Keywords (using Gemini & Claude)

Who is this for?

Content creators, marketers, and social media managers who want to turn high-performing YouTube videos into viral X (Twitter) threads using keywords (without manual research). Perfect for anyone looking to systematically create engaging social content from proven video sources.

What problem does it solve?

Finding viral content ideas and writing engaging threads is time-consuming and hit-or-miss. This workflow automates the entire process: discovers high-performing YouTube videos based on your keywords, extracts key insights using AI, and generates multiple viral thread variations using proven patterns from 12.5M+ view threads.

How it works

#	Node	Purpose
1	Form Trigger	Captures your keyword, target audience, and content type preferences.
2	YouTube Video Search	Finds recent videos (April 2025+) matching your keyword, sorted by view count.
3	Get Video Statistics	Fetches detailed metrics (views, engagement) for discovered videos.
4	Filter High-Performers	Keeps only videos with 100K+ views and excludes YouTube Shorts.
5	Top 5 Selection	Limits to the best 2 videos to focus on proven winners.
6	Save Video Candidates	Logs discovered videos to Google Sheets for manual approval.
7	Wait & Check Approval	Pauses 30 seconds, then checks which videos you marked "Yes" for thread generation.
8	Video Analysis (Gemini)	Uses Google's Gemini AI to extract key insights, tools, and strategies from approved videos.
9	Thread Generation (Claude)	Applies viral thread database patterns to create 3 distinct thread variations using Claude Sonnet 4.
10	Structure & Save Threads	Formats the generated threads and saves them back to Google Sheets for review and posting.

Setup steps

Import & configure credentials

Import the JSON workflow into n8n
Add your YouTube Data API key (get from Google Cloud Console)
Add your Google Gemini API key (get from Google AI Studio)
Connect Anthropic API for Claude access
Set up Google Sheets OAuth2 credential

Create your tracking spreadsheet

The workflow auto-creates a sheet with columns: Keyword, Youtube video title, Description, Video URL, Turn into thread?, Thread 1, Thread 2, Thread 3
You'll manually review and mark videos "Yes" in the Turn into thread? column

Configure the viral thread database

The workflow includes proven patterns from threads with 12.5M+ views
Adjust the target audience and content style in the AI prompts if needed

Test the workflow

Submit the form with a keyword like "AI automation"
Check that videos appear in your Google Sheet
Mark one "Yes" and verify threads are generated

Resources

Extending the workflow

Auto-posting – Connect X API to automatically post generated threads
Competitor tracking – Monitor specific channels for new content opportunities
Multi-platform – Adapt threads for LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok formats
Performance tracking – Log thread performance back to sheets for optimization

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.
