Post to social channels from a Telegram prompt
An n8n agent takes a Telegram prompt, finds files in Google Drive, writes an AI caption, and posts to LinkedIn and other channels, saving 3-5 hours weekly.
Done withn8n
- What they did
- They wired an n8n posting agent that starts from a Telegram prompt, pulls content from a structured Google Drive folder, finds the matching file, adds an AI-written caption, and pushes the post to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Instagram. The post says the person creates the content once with a separate AI content agent and then n8n handles the upload flow automatically.
- How it went
- They say it saves 3–5 hours a week on manual upload work. They also say native APIs were harder to set up, GetLate cost about $29/month and had support and reliability issues for them, while Blotato at about $39/month was the easiest option.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch mentioned is the upload method: native APIs are free but more maintenance, while third-party posting tools add a monthly cost.
Try it yourself with n8n
Build an n8n workflow where I send a Telegram message like 'post the [file or event description] to [LinkedIn and other channels]'. It should find the matching files in my Google Drive folder [folder name], write a caption in my voice ([tone description]), and send me the draft and media back on Telegram. Only publish to [channels] after I reply 'approve', and then confirm with links to the live posts.
