Drop a file, it posts itself

I build n8n pipelines that turn one file dropped in a folder into captioned posts across several networks, on a schedule, with nobody at the keyboard. The one I built for a content creator costs about €5 a month to run.

What you get

Done for you, end to end

  • Multi-channel auto-posting. One source file gets formatted for every network you publish to.
  • Captions from the content itself. The pipeline writes them from what's in the picture or video.
  • Custom integrations, self-hosted. It runs on your server with your accounts, and you can open and read every workflow.
  • Scheduled and monitored. It runs on its own, and you hear about it when something breaks.
Packages

Pick the size that fits

Starter

One channel

A single pipeline for the network that matters most to you.

  • One source folder
  • One network, on a schedule
  • Captions from the content
Standard

Several channels

Built like the content-creator project, where one file feeds many networks.

  • Several networks and formats
  • Separate workflows per channel
  • Monitoring and failure alerts
AI content

Generate and repurpose

Agents in the pipeline that do more than write captions.

  • Content generation steps
  • Repurposing one piece into many
  • Everything in Standard

Any package can come with ongoing maintenance, so the pipeline keeps up when networks change their APIs.

What this looks like in practice

Content creator

A daily multi-channel pipeline

Each day one file goes into a folder and comes out as captioned posts on several networks, including formats people thought couldn't be automated.

Publishing runs hands-off for about €5 a month.

Questions people ask

FAQ

What does a content pipeline do?

You drop one file in a folder. The pipeline writes the captions, formats the post for each network and publishes it on a schedule, without anyone at the keyboard.

Who writes the captions?

The pipeline does. Captions are generated from the media itself, so a post describes what is actually in the picture or the video.

Why n8n?

It's self-hosted, so the pipeline runs on your own server, and every step is a visible workflow you can open and change later. When a network has no ready-made node, I write a custom integration.

What does it cost to run?

Hosting and APIs are usually the only running costs. The pipeline I built for a content creator costs about €5 a month to run. The build itself is priced per scope.

Do I have to watch it?

No. It runs on a schedule and is monitored, so when a network changes something and a post fails, you hear about it instead of finding out a week later.
