Automate YouTube Uploads & Alerts with OpenAI & Slack

Revolutionize your content publishing process with this powerful n8n workflow that automates YouTube uploads and real-time notifications across multiple platforms. Streamline the way you manage your digital assets by utilizing OpenAI's advanced capabilities and keep your team in the loop with instant alerts.

What this workflow does

• Step 1: Receive a video submission through an n8n Form, which includes a caption, thumbnail, and video file.
• Step 2: Harness the power of OpenAI (GPT-5 Mini) to refine your thumbnail concept into a ready-to-use image-generation prompt.
• Step 3: Validate the thumbnail's format (PNG, JPG, JPEG) and automatically crop it to the optimal 1280×720 size. Unsupported formats prompt an instructive message to the user.
• Step 4: Upload your video to YouTube, utilizing the caption as the title, while applying universally configured tags and privacy settings.
• Step 5: Dispatch a comprehensive success message, complete with the YouTube video URL and timestamp, to communication channels like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp (via Rapiwa), and Gmail.
