Seeking advice on automation workflows

[kiulf]

Hi everyone!

I’m seeking advice on a specific use case involving automation workflows.

Use Case: I have a system that retrieves data from my database via webhook and needs to handle publishing content to YouTube and social media platforms.

Current Setup:

• I retrieve MP4 file links and various text variables from my database
• I want to use LateNode to split this into two separate scenarios:

Scenario A:

• Handle the webhook data retrieval
• Process with ChatGPT
• Manage YouTube publishing

Scenario B:

• Take the output from Scenario A
• Handle publishing to client social media accounts (Facebook Pages, Instagram, etc.)

Questions:

1. Is this approach structurally sound?
2. Should Scenario A be converted into a Nodul for better integration?
3. Am I missing any critical components in Scenario A?

I have more than 50 clients to migrate in LateNode.

I’d appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on optimizing this workflow.

Thanks a lot and have a great week !

Hi! This is an interesting task, but your scenario is clearly missing some details. Could you please describe how you envision a complete scenario? Based on that, we can explore implementation options.

Hello Raian,

Yes, you’re right! ^^ We discussed this use case on Discord a few days ago.

On Make, I had a single scenario per client:

Today, I’d like to do better with LateNode. For example, I want to isolate a specific part of my scenario (data retrieval and text processing) and have a separate scenario to post on my client’s social media accounts.

What do you think of this approach ?

Thanks a lot @Raian !

If you have frequent and repetitive tasks, you can create your own sub-scenarios. These are essentially scenarios packaged into a single node, which can be incredibly useful and save you from constantly reconfiguring them in every scenario.

Check out this guide for more details: Custom Modules: Speed Up Your Development on Latenode.

Otherwise, there’s endless room for improvement here!

Thanks @Raian ,

I’m struggling to properly implement my own sub-scenarios. Could someone guide me through creating my first scenario?

The data from Module #1 (Webhook) is highly variable, containing dynamic fields like :

• Title
• Description
• .mp4 link
• Other variables

These diverse data points are then passed to subsequent modules such as ChatGPT, YouTube, and social media platforms.

Any advice or step-by-step guidance would be appreciated ! Thanks for help.

Create one scenario, of a nodul type, which is your custom node that does the processing through GPT and youtube publishing. The nodul input must have the parameters/variables defined.

Create one scenario to receive data with a webhook and pass data into the nodul created.
