Automated n8n workflow: Receives videos via form, dubs/translates them to the selected languages, and—upon completion—uploads them to multiple social media channels and cloud drives, including Box, Dropbox, and YouTube, Telegram, Postiz (Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Reddit etc.) Workflows Via n8n form select files to dub for desired languages. Listen webhook and whenever dubbing finishes upload to desired platforms Used Stacks DubLab App (ApiKey, Webhook Setup Required) Optional (Upload) Telegram (Token Required) Box (Oauth2 Required) Dropbox (Oauth2 Required) Youtube (Oauth2 Required) Postiz (ApiKey Required)

How it works This workflow runs on a schedule you set (default is every 10 minutes). It fetches all videos from a specific YouTube playlist, retrieves details and transcripts for each video using RapidAPI, cleans the transcript text, and then uses OpenAI (GPT models) to generate detailed notes, YAML frontmatter, and internal links formatted for Obsidian. Finally, it assembles everything into a Markdown file, saves it to your designated Dropbox folder, and removes the processed video from the source YouTube playlist. Set up steps Getting started should take about 5 minutes. A Quick Start Guide (PDF) is included in the download with step-by-step instructions! Here's a quick overview of the setup: Connect Credentials: Add your n8n credentials for YouTube (OAuth2), OpenAI, and Dropbox (OAuth2). Add API Keys: RapidAPI: You'll need a key for the yt-api service. The template uses ={{ $env["RAPIDAPI_API_KEY"] }}. You can either set up an environment variable in n8n named RAPIDAPI_API_KEY or simply delete that expression in the "Get Video Details" and "Get Video Transcript" nodes and paste your API key directly into the x-rapidapi-key field. Configure Nodes: Update the Playlist ID in the "Get Playlist Videos" node to your target YouTube playlist. (Optional) Adjust the Save Path in the "Save Note to Dropbox" node if you want to save files to a different folder. Activate: Turn on the workflow. > Bonus Trick: Symlink the Dropbox folder (using the Dropbox desktop app) to a folder in your Obsidian vault for beautifully organized YouTube summary notes!

Categories Marketing Intelligence, Ad Operations, Competitive Research, Creative Analysis Build a Facebook Ad Intelligence Pipeline with Apify, AI, and Google Sheets This workflow creates an end-to-end Facebook Ad Intelligence pipeline that automatically collects live ads from the Facebook Ad Library, analyzes their creative and messaging using AI, and stores structured insights in Google Sheets for reuse. The system continuously pulls ads from specified Facebook Ad Library URLs, filters for high-signal advertisers, classifies ads by format (video, image, or text), and applies AI analysis to extract strategy, positioning, and reusable creative angles. The result is a reliable, no-manual-work system that turns competitor ads into structured, reusable intelligence instead of screenshots and guesswork. Benefits Evidence-Based Creative Decisions Learn from ads that are already live and funded, not assumptions. Faster Creative Iteration Reuse proven angles, hooks, and formats without starting from zero. Centralized Ad Intelligence All insights are stored in a searchable Google Sheet. Format-Aware Analysis Images, videos, and text ads are analyzed using the correct method. Low Noise, High Signal Filters remove weak advertisers and surface serious spenders. How It Works Ad Data Collection (Apify) Scrapes Facebook Ad Library URLs automatically Retrieves raw ad snapshots including: Copy and headlines Media URLs Page metadata Engagement and page signals Signal Filtering Filters ads by page popularity, for example pages with more than 5,000 likes Ensures only proven advertisers move forward Creative Type Detection A switch node classifies ads as: Video Image Text only Each format is routed to its own processing path AI Creative Analysis Image ads** Converted to binary Visually analyzed Summarized and reverse-engineered Video ads** Downloaded and analyzed frame and content wise Described strategically Text ads** Summarized and rewritten directly Outputs include: Deep strategic summaries Repurposed ad copy Structured Intelligence Storage (Google Sheets) All insights are appended automatically Ads are deduplicated by ad archive ID Each row becomes a reusable asset: Summary Rewritten copy Image or video prompts Page and source data Required Setup Apify Active Apify account Access to the Facebook Ad Library scraping actor OpenAI API key with text and image analysis access Google Gemini API access for video analysis Google Sheets OAuth access Edit permissions on the target spreadsheet Dropbox (optional) OAuth access for video storage and reuse Business Use Cases Performance Marketers Identify winning creative patterns faster Media Buyers Reduce testing waste and creative fatigue Agencies Deliver competitive intelligence as a service Founders Validate messaging before launching campaigns Growth Teams Build creative systems instead of one-off ads Difficulty Level Intermediate Estimated Build Time 60–90 minutes Monthly Operating Cost Apify: Usage-based OpenAI: Usage-based Google Sheets: Free Dropbox: Free or paid plan n8n: Self-hosted or cloud Typical range: $20–60/month depending on volume Why This Workflow Works Live ads represent real budget decisions Filtering enforces signal quality Format-specific analysis improves insight accuracy Structured storage enables reuse at scale Automation replaces manual ad spying Possible Extensions Auto-tag ads by funnel stage Add spend or duration heuristics Track creative trends over time Generate landing page hypotheses Trigger creative briefs from winning ads

How It Works This sub-workflow uploads files to Dropbox and returns a direct download link: Upload file - Receives file from parent workflow and uploads to Dropbox Check for existing link - Queries Dropbox API to see if a shared link already exists for this file Create or reuse link - If no link exists, creates a new public shared link; otherwise uses existing one Convert to direct link - Transforms Dropbox's standard sharing URL (dropbox.com) into a direct download URL (dl.dropboxusercontent.com) Return URL - Outputs the final direct download link for use in other workflows Important: File names must be unique, or you'll get links to old files with the same name. **Setup Steps Time estimate: ~25-30 minutes (first time)** Create Dropbox app - Register at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps and get App Key + App Secret. Grant "Files and folders" + "Collaboration" permissions Configure OAuth2 credentials - Add Dropbox OAuth2 credentials in n8n (2 places: "Upload a file" and "List Shared Links" nodes). Set redirect URI to your n8n instance Create data table - Make a table called "cred-Dropbox" with columns: id (value: 1) and token (your access token) Set up token refresh - Deploy the companion "Dropbox Token Refresher" workflow (referenced but not included as its a paid workflow) to auto-refresh tokens Customize upload path - Update the path in "Upload a file" node (currently /Automate/N8N/host/) Test with form - Use the included test workflow to verify everything works Pro tip: Generate your first access token manually in the Dropbox app console to test uploads before setting up auto-refresh.
