🎥 Auto-Caption & Autopost Videos to Instagram & TikTok

Description

Automate your short-form content pipeline! This workflow takes any video uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder, generates engaging captions with Submagic, and then auto-posts the finished video (with AI-generated captions) directly to Instagram or TikTok via Postiz. Captions are further refined with OpenAI for brand-ready social text. Finally, each published video is logged into a Google Sheet for tracking.
