The Problem
Consistent short-form content requires hours of work — ideation, scripting, video generation, editing, and uploading across multiple platforms. Most creators burn out trying to keep up with daily posting demands.
The Solution
A 17-node fully automated content pipeline that runs on a schedule, uses OpenAI to generate scripts, authenticates securely via JWT, generates AI videos, polls until ready, then publishes to both YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels simultaneously.
How It Works
- 1⏰ Schedule Trigger — fires automatically on a set daily or weekly schedule
- 2🧠 OpenAI Chat Model + Structured Output Parser — generates video concept, script, and visual prompt
- 3🔐 Build JWT Payload + Sign JWT Token — constructs secure authentication credentials
- 4🔑 Exchange JWT for Access Token — authenticates with the video generation API
- 5🎥 Generate Video (HTTP Request) — submits the AI script to the video creation service
- 6⏳ Wait — holds execution while the video renders
- 7🔄 Get Generated Video + Is Done? — polls the API in a loop until video is confirmed ready
- 8🔍 Is Filtered? + Is Error? — validates the output and catches any generation errors
- 9📦 Extract Video Data + Convert to File — decodes Base64 video into an upload-ready file
- 10📤 Upload to YouTube — publishes the video as a YouTube Short automatically
- 11📘 Facebook Graph API — posts the same video as a Facebook Reel simultaneously
Results
- Full video created and published to 2 platforms in minutes, fully hands-free
- Daily content consistency achieved without any manual effort
- Scalable across multiple niches, pages, and channels from one workflow
- JWT-secured API connections — production-grade reliability and error handling
