What it does
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.
