8 Repurpose Tiktoks On Autopilot

Description

This automation detects when you post a Tiktok video, automatically downloads the video without watermark, stores it in Google Drive, and reposts your Tiktok video to other social media platforms. All on autopilot. So you can grow your presence on multiple platforms, without more work. You can also easily add steps to customize captions per platform.

Overview

Here’s how the automation works:

1. Trigger: RSS Feed

  • RSS feed triggers when you post a new Tiktok video

2. Fetch Video

  • Download the newly posted Tiktok video

  • Store video in Google Drive

3. Publish to Social Media

  • Connect Blotato to your social accounts

  • Choose your social accounts

  • Either post immediately or schedule for later

Setup

  • Ensure you have "Verified Community Nodes" enabled in your n8n Admin Panel. Then, install "Blotato" verified community node.

  • Blotato Sign up for Blotato, then go to Dashboard → API Keys to create your key. Then create Blotato credential. Connect your social accounts, and select which accounts to post to.

  • RSS.app Create an account, then visit Feeds, click "Add Feed", input your Tiktok profile URL, and generate the RSS feed. Copy paste RSS feed URL into the RSS Feed Trigger node. Within rss.app, configure your RSS feed setting "Number of Posts" to 1.

Tips & Tricks

  • While testing: enable only 1 social platform, and deactivate the rest for testing purposes. You can also use the option "Scheduled Time" while testing, so that posts are scheduled in the future, not posted immediately.

  • After the workflow finishes, check your social media account for the final post.

  • If successful, then enable another social media node, and continue testing.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure your RSS feed is configured to output only 1 item at a time

  • If you post multiple Tiktok videos within an hour interval, you can set your refresh interval to 15 minutes in RSS.app but this requires a paid plan.

If you need help troubleshooting your automation:

  • the API Dashboard is your best friend

n8n Notes

  1. Install the Blotato community node. Open your n8n instance’s Admin Panel and enable Verified Community Nodes, then open any workflow.

  2. Click “+” to add a node, search for Blotato, then install it.

  3. If a template shows question marks instead of my pink manatee logo, enable Verified Community Nodes first, install the Blotato node, then re-import the n8n template.

  4. Create a new Credential in n8n. Go to Blotato Settings > API > Copy API Key. Paste the API key in n8n, save, test, then select this credential on Blotato nodes.

  5. Connect social accounts on each platform node. Open each Blotato Publish node, select the Blotato credential, then pick your social account.

  6. When testing, deactivate all social platform nodes. Activate just 1 to start with. Run the workflow, then Pin data at the UPLOAD to BLotato node. This locks inputs for repeat tests. Then, execute 1 platform node from pinned data to validate it works. Activate other social platforms to continue testing.

  7. Use the Blotato API dashboard to review each request, payload, and error message.
