Turn Every Video into a LinkedIn post with AI in n8n and Post It to LinkedIn

An n8n workflow that fires when a new YouTube video goes live, then an AI agent rewrites it as a professional LinkedIn post — giving you a LinkedIn post drafted from every article. No code: import the JSON, connect your apps, and it runs 24/7.

  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 rewrites it as a professional LinkedIn post. The prompt is pre-written and scoped to this one job so results stay consistent.

  3. 3

    Deliver the post

    The result is sent to LinkedIn — ready for a human to approve.

  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

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.

Can I trust the AI to get the post right?

The prompt is tightly scoped to one job and you can add a human-approval step in n8n before anything is sent or published. Start with review-mode for a week, and once you trust the output, switch it to fully automatic.

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.
