You message your Telegram bot with a topic, an idea, or a URL to repurpose.\n2. The AI agent (OpenAI) reads your request and, if you sent a link, fetches the page with its web tool.\n3. It returns four things: an image prompt, a LinkedIn post, an X caption and an Instagram caption.\n4. The image is generated with Grok Imagine (via [AtlasCloud](https://www.atlascloud.ai/?ref=8QKPJE)). A small Wait then Poll then Switch loop runs until the image is ready.\n5. The image is published with each caption to LinkedIn, X and Instagram via [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas).\n6. You get a confirmation back in Telegram.\n\n## Setup\n1. Open the \"Workflow settings\" node and set language, brand voice and image style.\n2. Connect the credentials listed below.\n3. In each [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas) node, pick your connected account from the list.\n4. Activate the workflow and message your bot.\n\n## Requirements\n- A Telegram bot token (free, via @BotFather).\n- An OpenAI API key.\n- An [AtlasCloud](https://www.atlascloud.ai/?ref=8QKPJE) API key for Grok image generation (Header Auth).\n- A paid [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas) account with LinkedIn, X and Instagram connected.\n- **Community node:** this template uses the [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas) community node, so it runs on self-hosted n8n (or n8n Cloud with Verified Community Nodes enabled).\n\n## Customization\n- Swap the image model, aspect ratio or resolution in \"Workflow settings\".\n- Add more platforms in [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas) (Facebook, Threads, TikTok).\n- Want live trend research? Add a Perplexity or SerpAPI search tool to the agent."

About this workflow
This workflow takes a Telegram message containing an idea or URL, uses OpenAI to generate platform-ready captions plus an image prompt, creates an image via AtlasCloud (Grok Imagine), then publishes the post to LinkedIn, X, and Instagram through Blotato and confirms back in…
