AI Clone Instagram Influencer Reel Builder + Auto-Post (Heygen + Submagic + Blotato) Description Turn an idea into a finished Instagram Reel—end to end, on autopilot. This template generates a compelling Reel script, sends it to Heygen to produce an AI avatar/clone video, applies dynamic on-video captions with Submagic, then uploads and auto-posts to Instagram via Blotato, complete with a tailored AI-written caption. Ideal for creators, agencies, and brands who want consistent short-form output without manual editing. 👉 Watch step-by-step automation builds on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MmZxLuAkqig?si=DRfS89yQlSlbMbfZ What This Template Does ✍️ Generates a short-form Reel script from your topic/idea (optimized hook → body → close). 🧑🎤 Creates an AI avatar video using Heygen (character + voice) from that script. 🅰️ Adds stylized overlaid captions using Submagic (template selectable). ☁️ Uploads media to Blotato and auto-posts to Instagram Reels. 🧠 Writes an IG caption (with hashtags) using an AI Caption Agent tuned for engagement. How It Works (Node Flow) Chat Trigger – Send a topic/idea to start the run. Instagram Script Generator (Agent) – Creates a 25–30s script (hook → insights → soft CTA). POST to Heygen – Generates an avatar video from the script (avatar_id, voice_id, size). Wait & Poll – Checks Heygen status until the video is ready. POST to Submagic – Creates a project and applies your caption style (e.g., “Hormozi 2”). Wait & Poll – Retrieves the captioned video URL when completed. Upload media (Blotato) – Uploads the final video to your Blotato account. Instagram Caption Agent – Produces an on-brand IG caption + hashtag block from the original script. Create Post (Blotato) – Publishes to Instagram as a Reel with the AI caption and uploaded media. Required Credentials OpenAI (or compatible) – for script + caption agents. Heygen API – HTTP Header Auth (API key). Submagic API – HTTP Header Auth (API key). Blotato API – Account + token. (Optional) KodeKey/Base URL if you route OpenAI-compatible models through your gateway. Best practice: store all secrets in AlekSystem Credentials, not hard-coded in nodes. Quick Start Import the template into AlekSystem. Create/assign credentials for OpenAI (or compatible), Heygen, Submagic, and Blotato. In Heygen, set your avatar_id and voice_id (or swap with your own). In Submagic, set templateName, language, and style preferences. In Blotato, confirm the accountId and instagramMediaType: reel. Run the workflow from the Chat Trigger with a topic (e.g., “3 money habits for 2025”). Confirm the Reel shows up in your connected Instagram account. Customization Tips Script Persona: Adjust the agent system prompt (niche, tone, audience). Caption Style: Tweak the Caption Agent for hook length, CTAs, and hashtag strategy. Heygen Output: Change dimension to 1080×1920 for full-HD vertical. Submagic Template: Swap templateName to match your brand. Posting Targets: Extend Blotato to cross-post to TikTok/YouTube Shorts. Error Handling & Reliability Uses Wait + status polling for both Heygen and Submagic before downstream steps. Includes IF checks to re-poll when processing is not complete. Recommendation: add Slack/Email alerts and Retry options for production use.
