Stop wasting time on video editing! This template is designed for content creators and marketers who need a fast, scalable way to convert simple text scripts into polished, shareable AI-generated videos and publish them automatically to Instagram. The workflow includes a critical human review step to maintain quality control.

Prerequisites

To use this template, you must have the following:

  • An active n8n instance.
  • An active Blotato account (required for the AI video generation and Instagram upload API access).
  • The Blotato n8n node must be installed on your n8n instance.
  • A configured Gmail node to handle the human approval step.

How It Works (Workflow Breakdown)

This automation efficiently moves your content from a text script to a live Instagram post:

  1. Script Input (Form Node):
    • The workflow starts by accepting your script via a simple form input.
  2. Data Structuring (Information Extractor Node):
    • The raw script is processed to arrange the information into a specific JSON schema, ensuring the Blotato Create Content node receives the correct input format required for AI video generation.
  3. AI Video Generation (Blotato Node):
    • The process triggers the Blotato AI video generation. This process is set to run in a Queue mode.
  4. Status Check Loop (Loop, Wait, IF Nodes):
    • Since video generation takes time, the workflow enters a loop:
      • It uses a Wait node to pause for 80 seconds.
      • It then uses the Blotato Get Video node, combined with an IF node, to check the generation status.
      • This loop continues until the video is fully generated.
  5. Human Approval (Gmail Node):
    • Once the video is generated, the hosted video link is sent to your Gmail. The email includes two interactive buttons: "Approve" and "Disapprove."
  6. Instagram Upload (Blotato Node):
    • If you choose to "Approve" the video, the final step uses the Blotato node to automatically upload the finished video as an Instagram Reel.
