AI Recipe Infographics n8n Workflow: Perplexity + Gemini + Blotato

Turn a dish name into ready-to-post recipe infographic content—automatically—using Perplexity + Gemini and publish via Blotato.

This AI Recipe Infographics n8n Workflow lets you collect a dish request in an n8n form, research an authentic recipe with Perplexity, generate a structured recipe + localized caption with Google Gemini, create a 1080×1080 infographic via GeminiGen AI, and then publish to Facebook, Instagram, X, and/or TikTok through Blotato—with a built-in dry-run option.

What this workflow does

• Collects inputs (dish name, language, target platforms, and a dry-run flag) from an n8n form.
• Researches the dish using Perplexity to gather ingredients, steps, timings, tips, and cultural context.
• Generates structured output with Google Gemini, including a localized Facebook-style caption with hashtags and an infographic image prompt.
• Creates an infographic image by sending the prompt to GeminiGen AI (square 1080×1080 image generation).
• Polls for completion by checking the GeminiGen AI history endpoint until the image is ready (or returns a generation-failed response after max polling attempts).
• Publishes to social via Blotato when Dry Run is Off; otherwise, it returns the final post text and image URL without uploading.
• Returns publishing results as a success message, or a publish-failed message if Blotato rejects the upload/post.

Use cases

• Food creators who want automated recipe infographic posting across multiple social platforms.
• SaaS operators using n8n to turn user-submitted topics into consistent social content.
• Automation engineers needing a reference workflow for Perplexity + Gemini + image generation + Blotato publishing.
