⚠️ Disclaimer: This workflow uses Community Nodes and requires a self-hosted n8n instance.

Who is this for?

This workflow is perfect for content creators, YouTubers, marketing teams and entrepreneurs who want to effortlessly convert long YouTube videos into short, viral-ready clips and publish them automatically on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and other platforms.

What problem is this workflow solving?

Manually creating short, engaging clips from YouTube videos takes hours:

• Selecting highlights
• Adding subtitles and effects
• Downloading and editing
• Posting individually on each platform

This workflow eliminates all of that:

• AI-powered Shorts generation with Klap
• Smart scheduling based on your posting calendar
• Full automation of uploads to multiple platforms

What this workflow does

From a simple YouTube link sent via Telegram, the workflow:

1. Extracts the YouTube URL and number of Shorts requested
2. Sends the video to Klap for AI-powered Shorts generation
3. Checks when the Shorts are ready
4. Schedules publication times based on your custom settings
5. Uploads the Shorts to Blotato
6. Auto-posts on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram and more
7. Sends a confirmation recap to Telegram

Setup

1. Connect your Telegram bot to the trigger node
2. Add your Klap API key for video processing
3. Link your Google Sheets with your scheduling preferences
4. Add your Blotato API key and social platform IDs
5. Adjust the number of Shorts generated if needed
6. Modify the scheduling logic or time windows in the Google Sheets

How to customize this workflow to your needs

• Change AI video settings in the Klap API request
• Adjust time windows and frequency in the scheduling nodes
• Limit the workflow to specific platforms (e.g., TikTok only)
• Add a manual approval step before publishing
• Modify the Telegram recap message content
