BLOTATO n8n INTEGRATION: AUTOMATE BLOTATO WITH N8N

The Get post action retrieves detailed information about a specific post from your Blotato account. This is essential when you need to check post status, extract content for repurposing, or verify that a post was created successfully by a previous workflow step.

Key parameters: The action includes a Credential to connect with parameter (required dropdown for Blotato account authentication), Resource fixed to "Post", Operation fixed to "Get", and Post Submission ID (optional text field) where you specify the unique identifier of the post you want to retrieve.

Use cases: Verify that a scheduled post was successfully created before proceeding with notification workflows, extract post content to sync with analytics dashboards or reporting tools, and build quality control workflows that check post details against predefined criteria.

The Create post action enables you to publish new content directly to Instagram through Blotato. This is the cornerstone action for any social media automation workflow, allowing you to programmatically generate and schedule posts based on data from virtually any source.

Key parameters: Required parameters include Credential to connect with and Account (Instagram account by ID). Resource is fixed to "Post", Operation to "Create", and Platform to "Instagram". Optional parameters include Text (post caption), Media URLs (comma-separated image/video URLs), Schedule Next Free Slot (toggle for automatic scheduling), and Options for advanced settings.

Use cases: Automatically create Instagram posts when new blog articles are published on your WordPress website, build a content calendar workflow that pulls post data from Google Sheets and publishes on schedule, and create product announcement posts triggered by inventory updates in your e-commerce platform.

The Create video action allows you to generate videos using Blotato's template system directly from your n8n workflows. This is particularly powerful for creating consistent, branded video content at scale without manual editing.

Key parameters: The Credential to connect with parameter is required for authentication. Resource is fixed to "Video" and Operation to "Create". Optional parameters include Template (dropdown to select from existing Blotato templates) and Mapping Column Mode (controls how input data maps to template variables—select "Map Each Column Manually" for precise control).

Use cases: Generate daily quote videos by pulling content from a database and applying your branded template, create product showcase videos automatically when new items are added to your catalog, and build a testimonial video pipeline that transforms customer reviews into shareable video content.

The Upload media action lets you add images, videos, or other media files to your Blotato media library. This is essential for preparing assets before using them in posts or videos, especially in workflows that process media from external sources.

Key parameters: Required parameters include Credential to connect with (Blotato account authentication) and Media URL (publicly accessible URL pointing to your media file). Resource is fixed to "Media" and Operation to "Upload". The optional Use Binary Data toggle determines whether to upload media as binary data or via URL.

Use cases: Automatically upload product images from your cloud storage to Blotato when new products are added, build a media processing pipeline that resizes images then uploads them for use in posts, and sync team-approved creative assets from shared drives to your Blotato media library.

The Get video action retrieves detailed information about a specific video in your Blotato account. Use this to check video generation status, extract video URLs for distribution, or gather metadata for reporting purposes.

Key parameters: The action requires Credential to connect with (Blotato credentials dropdown) and Video ID (required text field for the unique video identifier). Resource is fixed to "Video" and Operation to "Get".

Use cases: Check whether a video has finished rendering before proceeding with distribution workflows, extract completed video URLs to share via email, Slack, or other communication channels, and build video analytics workflows that track creation timestamps and template usage.

The Delete video action permanently removes a specific video from your Blotato account. This is useful for cleanup workflows, managing storage, or removing outdated content automatically.

Key parameters: Required parameters include Credential to connect with (Blotato account authentication) and Video ID (unique identifier of the video to delete—double-check this value as deletion is typically irreversible). Resource is fixed to "Video" and Operation to "Delete".

Use cases: Automatically clean up temporary or draft videos after a set period, build content lifecycle workflows that archive video data before deletion, and remove failed video renders as part of error-handling workflows.
