Automating YouTube Shorts Production with n8n, Sora 2, and Gemini

I recently built a fully automated workflow in n8n that produces and publishes YouTube Shorts end-to-end — with no manual steps involved.

🔧 What the workflow does:

Takes a user prompt from a form

Generates a full video using Sora 2

Creates an optimized title and description using Gemini + structured parsing

Uploads the final output directly to YouTube

Runs a separate error-handling pipeline that logs issues and sends immediate email notifications indicating which node failed

🛠️ Why this matters:
This setup allows content teams to scale short-form video production massively while reducing workload and eliminating bottlenecks like manual video editing, metadata writing, and uploading.

📌 It’s an efficient, fault-tolerant system designed for creators, agencies, and automation-focused businesses.
