Create comedic marketing reels with Sora2, OpenAI & auto-post to social media

Viral Marketing Reel & Autopost with Sora2 + Blotato Create funny, ultra-realistic marketing reels on autopilot using n8n, Sora2, Blotato, and OpenAI. This beginner-friendly template generates a comedic video prompt, creates a 12-second Sora2 video, writes a caption, and auto-posts to Instagram/TikTok — all on a schedule. 🎥 Watch the full step-by-step tutorial: What this template does This workflow automates an entire short-form content production pipeline: Scheduled Trigger: Runs automatically at your chosen time (e.g., every evening at 7PM). AI “Video Prompt Agent”: Creates a cinematic, funny, 12-second Sora2 text-to-video prompt designed to promote a product (default: Sally’s Coffee). Insert Row (Data Table): Logs each generated video prompt for tracking, reuse, or inspiration. Sora2 (via Wavespeed): Sends POST request to generate a video. Waits 30 seconds. Polls the prediction endpoint until the video is completed. Blotato Integration: Uploads the finished video to your connected social account(s). Automatically publishes or schedules the post. Caption Generator: Uses an AI agent to create an Instagram/TikTok-ready caption with relevant hashtags. This turns n8n into a hands-free comedic marketing engine that writes, creates, and posts content for you. Why it’s useful Create daily or weekly marketing reels without filming, editing, or writing scripts. Experiment with new comedic formats, hooks, and product placements in seconds. Perfect for small businesses, agencies, creators, and social media managers. Demonstrates how to combine AI agents + Sora2 + polling + external posting services inside one workflow. Requirements Before running this template, configure: OpenAI API Key (for the prompt agent & caption model) Wavespeed / Sora2 API credentials Blotato account connected to Instagram/TikTok (for posting) n8n Data Table (optional, or replace with your own) ⚠️ All credentials must be added manually after import.

Video Prompt Agent (LangChain Agent) Generates a cinematic, realistic comedic video idea. Built with a detailed system prompt. Ensures brand integration (e.g., Sally’s Coffee) happens naturally. 3. Insert Row (Data Table) Logs each generated prompt so future videos can be referenced or reused. 4. Sora2 POST Request Sends the generated prompt to Sora2 via Wavespeed’s /text-to-video endpoint. 5. Wait 30s + GET Sora2 Result Polls the result until data.status === "completed". Continues looping if still “processing”. 6. Upload Media (Blotato) Uploads the finished video file. 7. Caption Generator Creates a funny, platform-ready Instagram/TikTok caption with hashtags. 8. Create Post (Blotato) Publishes (or schedules) the video + caption.
