This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Error Telegram Automation Webhook 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.

   Automating Social Media Video Publishing with n8n: From Google Drive to TikTok and Instagram
   
   Creating engaging content for TikTok and Instagram is time-consuming. From writing catchy descriptions to uploading huge video files, the manual workflow steals valuable hours—especially for content creators, marketers, and small businesses. What if you could automate all of that?
   
   Using n8n, a powerful open-source workflow automation tool, you can now streamline your entire video publishing process. With integrations ranging from Google Drive and OpenAI to upload-post.com and Telegram, this n8n workflow ensures your videos—uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder—are automatically transcribed, given AI-generated descriptions, and published to TikTok and Instagram. Here’s how it all works.
   
   The Workflow at a Glance
   
   This workflow is fired every time a video is uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder named “Influencersde.” From there, the video goes through a domino effect of automations:
   
   1. It’s downloaded from Google Drive.
   2. The audio is extracted and transcribed using OpenAI’s Whisper.
   3. Based on the transcription, OpenAI’s GPT-4o model generates an SEO-friendly, platform-appropriate description.
   4. The video, along with the AI-generated description, is uploaded to TikTok and Instagram via upload-post.com.
   5. Any errors encountered in the process are reported in real-time via a Telegram bot.
   
   Let’s break down each piece of this powerful automation.
   
   Trigger: Watching for New Videos on Google Drive
   
   The automation begins with a Google Drive Trigger Node. This node monitors a specific folder in Google Drive and is set to check for new files every minute. Once a new file (presumably a video) is detected, n8n kicks off the rest of the workflow.
   
   Downloading and Prepping Video Files
   
   The next step uses the Google Drive download node to fetch the actual video file. The video’s binary data is saved locally using the “Write Binary File” node, preparing it for further processing.
   
   Transcribing Audio with OpenAI Whisper
   
   To create meaningful, relevant descriptions, the workflow uses the “Get Audio from Video” node powered by OpenAI's Whisper model. This step transcribes the video’s audio to text. This transcription provides context for the next step: generating social media captions.
   
   Generating Descriptions with GPT-4o
   
   Armed with the transcription, the workflow calls on OpenAI’s GPT-4o model to generate engaging captions. The prompt instructs the model to create Instagram-style descriptions similar to popular marketing posts, using specific hashtags like #ugc, #tiktok, #ai, and #branding. The prompt emphasizes concise, catchy, and platform-optimized results.
   
   This is one of the most powerful parts of the workflow because it completely removes the need for creative copywriting—letting AI handle it instead.
   
   Uploading to TikTok and Instagram
   
   With the caption ready and the video file on hand, the final content package is ready for distribution. The workflow uses HTTP Request nodes to upload the video and AI-generated caption to TikTok and Instagram via the upload-post.com API. These requests are securely authenticated using an API token generated from the upload-post.com platform.
   
   Separate API calls are made for each platform, ensuring clean and isolated handling of service-specific requirements.
   
   Error Reporting via Telegram
   
   Like any automated system, something might go wrong—connectivity issues, API failures, or malformed data. To ensure you're immediately in the loop, the workflow includes an Error Trigger node connected to a Telegram bot. When a meaningful error (e.g., not simply a DNS blip) occurs, a real-time notification is sent to your Telegram group or chat.
   
   This proactive system helps you recognize and resolve faults before they wreak havoc on your social publishing calendar.
   
   Customization and Requirements
   
   To use this workflow effectively, you’ll need the following:
   
   - Google Drive account with a designated videos folder
   - OpenAI API key (Whisper + GPT-4o)
   - Telegram bot and group/chat ID for notifications
   - An account on upload-post.com to retrieve your API token
   - Optional: customization of the OpenAI prompt to reflect your brand tone and style
   
   Conclusion
   
   This n8n automation illustrates the powerful synergy of AI and workflow automation platforms: freeing creators from mundane tasks while leveraging cutting-edge language models to connect with audiences more effectively.
   
   By automatically transcribing video audio, generating compelling captions, and instantly uploading content to TikTok and Instagram, you can focus on what truly matters—creating game-changing content and growing your brand.
   
   Ready to take control of your video marketing with AI and automation? This n8n workflow is open to customization and scalable to any content strategy. With just a few API credentials, your social media publishing will go from clunky to seamless.

   Want to save even more time? Clone this workflow, provide the required credentials, and let n8n turn your content into conversions—on autopilot.

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.
