Quick overview

This workflow collects Etsy-style product and packaging photos via an n8n form, uploads and crops them on fal, optionally uses OpenAI to write shot prompts and captions, renders a vertical unboxing/reveal video with Kling 3.0, and delivers it to TikTok as a draft via SocialRobot.

How it works

  1. Receives product details and image uploads through an n8n form submission.
  2. Sorts the uploaded images into product, optional packaging, and extra reference photos, then plans a 9:16 crop for the packaging and product frames.
  3. Uploads the photos to fal storage and runs fal’s crop utility to generate cropped frame images.
  4. Validates that the photos are usable and chooses an unboxing plan (with packaging photo) or a product-reveal plan (without packaging), optionally generating shot prompts and multi-platform captions with OpenAI.
  5. Submits a Kling image-to-video job on fal using the packaging photo as the first frame and the product photo as the last frame, then polls fal until the render completes or times out.
  6. Downloads the completed video from fal, checks the MP4 duration and file size limits, and uploads it to TikTok as a draft with a prepared caption via SocialRobot.
  7. Stops the run with a readable error message if any step fails (photo validation, fal upload/crop, Kling render, download, checks, or SocialRobot delivery).

Setup

  1. Create a fal API key and add it as an HTTP Header Auth credential (Authorization: Key YOUR_FAL_KEY) on all fal HTTP Request steps.
  2. Add an OpenAI credential for the OpenAI chat model (or disable caption/prompt generation by setting use_openai to false).
  3. Install the community node @socialrobot-io/n8n-nodes-socialrobot, add your SocialRobot credential, connect your TikTok account in SocialRobot, and select the TikTok account ID in the TikTok draft upload step.
  4. (Optional) Enable the Instagram/Facebook/Threads/Pinterest posting steps and set the required SocialRobot account IDs, plus Pinterest account and board IDs if you turn on the Pinterest API request step.
  5. Review and adjust the settings in the video configuration step (video length, shot count, cropping, prompt guardrails, hashtags, polling interval, timeouts, and file size limits) before activating the workflow.
