- Write today's Short (Basic LLM Chain): sends a prompt to an LLM, with model: OpenAI Chat Model; output parser: Short plan format
- Generate the video with Sora (OpenAI): generate (video)
- Post to Shorts, TikTok and Reels (Post Wire): publish (post)
- Published? (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false

Services it uses
Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
We can't fully verify this one: it relies on 1 community package, and n8n 3.0 turns unverified community packages off by default (N8N_UNVERIFIED_PACKAGES_ENABLED=false).
- Check that n8n-nodes-postwire is verified or supports 3.0 (used in Post to Shorts, TikTok and Reels).
