Who’s it for
This template is perfect for content marketers, social media managers, and creators who want to repurpose YouTube videos into platform-specific posts without manual work. If you spend hours brainstorming captions, resizing content, or creating images for different platforms, this workflow automates the entire process from video selection to ready-to-publish posts.
What it does
The workflow takes a topic from a Google Sheet, finds the most relevant and recent YouTube video using Dumpling AI and GPT-4o, then automatically generates unique posts for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Each post comes with a tailored AI-generated image, and all content is saved back into a Google Sheet for easy scheduling and review.
Here’s what happens step by step:
- Picks an unsearched topic from Google Sheets
- Searches YouTube via Dumpling AI and sorts videos
- Uses GPT-4o to select the most relevant video
- Extracts the video transcript using Dumpling AI
- Generates three platform-specific posts using GPT-4o
- Creates matching images for each post using Dumpling AI image generation
- Saves the final Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn posts into a Google Sheet
- Marks the topic as processed so it won’t repeat
