I Built an AI Social Media System
Learn how to build an AI automation for social media content creation and easily customize it to your use case.
I built a fully automated AI Social Media System that analyzes an article and creates text posts (Twitter, Threads), text and image posts (Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram), and AI avatar video posts (Tiktok).
This system uses AI to automate content creation and posting across platforms:
š„ Monitors Google Sheets for new articles
š„ Writes AI social media posts
š„ Generates AI images
š„ Generates AI avatar clone videos
š„ Publish to social media using Blotato.com API
I included multiple different types of content generated (text, image, video), so that you can easily customize this AI system to fit your needs.

Use Cases
ā¼ļøBut first, I donāt recommend automation if youāre a beginner content creator.
It takes A LOT of trial-and-error to figure out your voice, niche, brand, the value you uniquely provide, how to make great content, etc. This is why I designed Blotato as a hybrid platform: you + AI.
For intermediate and advanced creators, automation is handy for specific use cases:
Evergreen content - e.g. automatically repurposing the same specific pieces of content or CTA on a weekly basis:
lead magnets
courses
playbooks
testimonials
Brief news updates - e.g. be the first in your industry to share news on DeepSeek
Import Make Blueprint
Log into Make.com
Go to "Scenarios"ā
Click on "Create a new scenario"
Click on "Import Blueprint" (top-right corner)
Upload my prebuilt Make Blueprint (located at bottom of this post)
Workflow Overview
Hereās how everything works:
Google Sheets - Watch Rows
Monitors a spreadsheet for new URLs.
Triggers the automation when new row is added.
HTTP Module - Fetch Content
Retrieves the article from the provided URL in the Google Sheet.
OpenAI - Extract Article
Extracts the text article from the raw HTML. This helps clean up the input for our AI writing prompts.
OpenAI - Create Content
Write posts for LinkedIn, Twitter, Threads, Facebook, Instagram.
Generate AI image prompt, then generate AI image with DALLE-3.
Write AI video script and caption for AI avatar video for Tiktok.
Blotato - Automated Posting
Publish content to social media platforms via Blotato API.
Setup Google Sheets
My Google Sheet is super simple. I just drop in an article URL, and the entire automation runs. You can easily switch this to Airtable, Notion, Slack, etc. depending on your flow.
Make a new Google Sheet
Create a column with header
URL
Connect the Google Sheet to Make
Select the correct spreadsheet ID and sheet name
Enable "Includes Headers"
Setup Blotato
Next, youāll need to setup your Blotato API Key and Account IDs:
Login to Blotato.com
Go to āSettingsā
Copy your API key and account IDs
Paste them into the Make node āSetup Social Accountsā
Setup Heygen
Check out my previous in-depth tutorials on setting up your AI Clone.
Youāll need to sign up for Heygenās API plan, which is separate from their web app.
Within Make, select your Heygen avatar and voice.
Test Everything
After setting up your accounts and connecting them in Make, run the scenario with a real article URL, so that you have sample data flowing through the system.
ā”ļø You donāt need to change anything else to get the system working!
I also recommend testing one branch at a time.
Simply UNLINK the other branches, while you isolate testing one branch. When done, link all branches back to the main router.
ā ļø Common troubleshooting issues:
If posts fail to publish, check your API key and Account IDs.
If your Make variables appear transparent with a colored border, run the scenario once so you have data flowing in the system.
If your avatar video is not generated, most likely you need to upgrade to a paid Heygen API plan OR increase the wait timeout.
Make Blueprint
Once configured, this AI Social Media System will:
Pull content from Google Sheets
Use AI to write social media posts
Use AI to generate images and avatar video
Post automatically to all major platforms
