Repurpose Your Video — AI Write a Twitter/X thread on Autopilot and Post It to Slack

Every time a new YouTube video goes live, this workflow hands it to Claude, which turns it into a punchy X thread. You get a ready-to-post thread for every piece you publish without lifting a finger.

  1. 1

    Trigger when a new YouTube video goes live

    A YouTube Trigger starts the workflow the moment a new YouTube video goes live.

  2. 2

    Hand it to the AI agent

    An AI Agent node running Claude turns it into a punchy X thread. The prompt is pre-written and scoped to this one job so results stay consistent.

  3. 3

    Deliver the thread

    The result is sent to Slack — with the original for context.

  4. 4

    Add a safety net (optional)

    Insert an IF/human-approval step before anything is published or emailed, so you stay in control until you trust the output.

Frequently asked questions

Does this need n8n Cloud or can I self-host?

Either works. The workflow is a standard n8n export, so you can run it on n8n Cloud or on your own self-hosted instance — you only connect your own app credentials.

How do I import the workflow into n8n?

Download the JSON, then in n8n open a new workflow, choose ⋯ → Import from file, and select it. Every trigger, node and connection appears on the canvas; you just add your credentials and activate it.

How much does the AI part cost to run?

Pennies. Each run sends a small amount of text to the model, so most teams spend a few dollars a month even at hundreds of runs. You set the model and can cap volume in n8n, so costs never surprise you.
