Handwritten carousels that post and deliver themselves
Agents write the tips. An image model writes them by hand on paper. One node posts to Instagram and TikTok. Anyone who comments your keyword gets the link in a DM.
You get the template file + an instant ApexAPI account so it runs on the first try. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.
- Writes today's tips on any topic you set, sized to fit a card
- Renders them as blue ballpoint handwriting on paper, same pen and paper across the set
- Adds a call to action card at the end, on or off from one setting
- Posts the whole set as one carousel to Instagram and TikTok
- Archives every page to your own media library
- Runs on a schedule, or on demand
How it works
- Install three community nodes in n8n under Settings, Community Nodes: n8n-nodes-apexapi, n8n-nodes-chat33, n8n-nodes-publitio.
- Create two credentials. One ApexAPI key covers the writing and the images, one Chat33 key covers every platform. Nothing is embedded in the template, so it will not run until these exist. That is deliberate.
- Set your topic and hit execute. Pick the topic, how many cards, how much text fits on one, and what the last card asks for.
You need: n8n (cloud or self-hosted) with community nodes allowed, an ApexAPI account for the models, and a Chat33 account with Instagram and TikTok connected. Publitio is optional, delete that node if you do not want the archive. A set of four cards plus the call to action card costs cents per run, and the exact figure depends on the image model you pick from the dropdown. Every call shows its cost in the dashboard rather than arriving as a monthly surprise.
Why GPT Image 2 and not another image model?
It is the one that reliably writes legible handwriting. Most image models turn text into decorative shapes that look right until you try to read them. The model is a dropdown, so you can try others, but check a card before trusting a scheduled run.
How much text fits on one card?
Set by max_chars_per_card. 90 is about two comfortable lines, 45 gives one big line, higher and the handwriting shrinks. The workflow reports the real character count per card so you can see when a tip ran long.
Does the comment to DM part need anything else?
Chat33 handles it. A comment keyword triggers a DM with your link. Instagram and Facebook allow one DM per comment, so the link goes in that first message.
Can I change the look?
style_lock empty gives a fresh paper and pen every run. Fill it in and every post looks like the same notebook.
Will it work for my niche?
The topic is one field. Everything downstream follows it.
