Description

🎯 What This Does

This workflow automatically monitors a specific Google Drive folder for new images. When you drop a file in, it uses Google’s Gemini AI to analyze the image, generate an creative title, and write a high-engagement description. It then posts the image and text to a Discord channel and organizes your Google Drive by renaming the file and moving it to a “Processed” folder.

🔄 How It Works

Watch: The workflow detects when a new image file is uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder.
Analyze: It downloads the image and sends it to a Google Gemini AI Agent to identify the “hook” and generate technical/marketing copy.
Format: The AI returns a structured title, description, and a new optimized filename.
Publish: The workflow posts the image and the AI-generated caption directly to your Discord channel as a new thread.
Organize: Finally, it renames the original file in Google Drive and moves it to a separate “Processed” folder to keep your workspace clean.

🚀 Setup Requirements

n8n Version: Latest stable release recommended.
Google Cloud Console Project: With Google Drive API enabled.
Google Gemini API Key: For the AI generation.
Discord Application: A Bot Token with permissions to send messages/create threads in your server.
Estimated Setup Time: ~15 minutes.

Copy the Bot Token.
Invite the bot to your server.
Enable Developer Mode in your Discord User Settings to right-click a channel and “Copy Channel ID”.
