This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Schedule Youtube Create Scheduled n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   Automate Your YouTube-to-X Workflow with n8n and AI  
   
   As content creators, one of the most time-consuming tasks after publishing a YouTube video is promoting it across platforms. If you're juggling multiple social media accounts, consistently promoting each video becomes a challenge. But what if you could automate this process and even leverage AI to generate compelling social media posts for you?  
   
   With n8n — the extendable workflow automation tool — that dream can become a reality. In this article, we'll walk you through an intelligent automation workflow built using n8n that:
   
   - Checks your YouTube channel for newly published videos every 30 minutes  
   - Uses ChatGPT (GPT-3.5-Turbo via OpenAI) to generate a short, engaging promotional post  
   - Publishes the post directly to X (formerly Twitter) with a link to the new video  
   
   Let’s take a look under the hood of this no-code automation workflow.  
   
   🚀 The Workflow in Action
   
   This n8n workflow, titled "Post New YouTube Videos to X," contains a simple yet powerful sequence of steps:  
   
   1. ⏰ Schedule Trigger (Check Every 30 Minutes)  
   The workflow is initiated every 30 minutes using the n8n’s built-in schedule trigger. This ensures that your account is constantly checking for new content without overwhelming the API or your audience.  
   
   2. 📺 Fetch Latest Videos from YouTube  
   The YouTube API is then queried to fetch the most recent video posted on your channel within the last 30 minutes. You only need to specify your YouTube Channel ID to set this up (a helpful note in the workflow links directly to YouTube’s Account Settings so you can find your Channel ID easily).  
   
   3. 🤖 Generate X Post with ChatGPT  
   Here’s where the magic happens. Using OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo model integrated directly in n8n via the LangChain node, the workflow generates a short and spicy post, fit for X’s 140-character limit. It reads the video’s title and description and crafts a compelling snippet that encourages views, ending with a YouTube link in this format:  
   https://youtu.be/{{videoId}}
   
   The prompt is specifically designed to stay concise while engaging potential viewers:  
   “Write an engaging post about my latest YouTube video for X (Twitter) of no more than 140 characters in length. Link to the video at https://youtu.be/{{videoId}}. Use this title and description: {{title}} {{description}}.”  
   
   4. 🐦 Publish Post to X  
   The final step uses the X (Twitter) API and the OAuth2 authentication method to post the generated text directly to your feed, complete with the video link.  
   
   Benefits of This Automated Workflow
   
   - 🕒 Saves Time: Rather than manually creating and posting each video promo, you let the tools do the work for you every 30 minutes.  
   - 🔍 Maximizes Visibility: Capturing the narrow window after a video goes live helps boost early engagement and visibility.  
   - 🧠 Leverages AI Creativity: Don’t struggle with writer’s block. Let ChatGPT write short, catchy posts that are optimized for your audience.  
   - 🔄 Fully Automated: Once set up, it needs no regular manual input. You focus on creating content — and it handles the promotion.  
   
   Tools and APIs in Use
   
   Here’s a quick breakdown of the APIs and services working together in this workflow:
   
   - 🟥 YouTube Data API – To fetch your recent uploads.  
   - 🟦 OpenAI GPT-3.5 (via LangChain node in n8n) – To generate creative and engaging copy.  
   - 🟦 Twitter (X) API – To post updates automatically to your timeline.  
   
   Getting Started
   
   If this sounds like a dream solution for your social media workflow, here’s how to get started:
   
   1. Create a free account with n8n (self-host or use n8n.cloud).  
   2. Authenticate with your YouTube, OpenAI, and X accounts.  
   3. Copy the structure from this workflow and insert your YouTube Channel ID as advised.  
   4. Deploy and turn the workflow on.

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
