## Steps

2. **Data source:** Google Sheets
3. **Action:** Render template (PNG)
4. **Destination:** Post to Instagram
5. **Destination:** Post to LinkedIn

## How to set it up

1. **Design a post template:** Build one image template in the studio with placeholders for the tweet text and the handle you want credited.
2. **List your tweets in a Google Sheet:** Add one tweet per row, with a column for the text and a column for the author. This sheet is your queue.
3. **Set a daily schedule:** Choose how often a post goes out. Each time it runs, the workflow renders the next row as a fresh graphic.
4. **Connect Instagram and LinkedIn:** Link both accounts once. Every rendered image posts to the channels you pick, with no upload step.

## When to use it

### Social media automation

- **Automate social media posts end to end:** social media automation that generates each post from a template, then publishes it or lets you schedule social media posts to Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok and 11 more platforms from the same API call or workflow (social publishing is a paid add-on). ([more](https://orshot.com/features/social-publishing.md))
- **Bulk create social media posts** from a spreadsheet: an Instagram post generator, Instagram carousel generator and LinkedIn carousel generator in one, making one post, carousel or story per row of Google Sheets or Airtable instead of designing each one by hand. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/no-code.md))
- **Instagram automation with n8n, Make or Zapier:** auto post to Instagram, automate LinkedIn posts and run n8n social media automation on a schedule, with a fresh image or video rendered for each post. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/automation.md))
- **Recurring posts from your data:** real estate social media posts for every new listing, a quote image generator for weekly quote cards, product launches, event announcements and results graphics. ([more](https://orshot.com/templates.md))

### Image generation

- **Image generation API for templates:** an image API where you send the template ID and the values that change (text, photos, colors) and get back a PNG, JPG or WebP. For bulk image generation, render one image per row from a spreadsheet, a workflow, the CLI or an AI agent. ([more](https://orshot.com/solutions/image-generation-api.md))
- **OG image generator** for every blog post, docs page or product: render the Open Graph image automatically from your CMS, including Framer, Webflow and WordPress. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/automation.md))
- **Banner generator, YouTube thumbnail generator and ad creatives in every size:** design once and Smart Resize re-lays out the same design for each format, so ad creative automation does not mean redrawing each size. ([more](https://orshot.com/solutions/banner-generation-api.md))
- **Ecommerce product images and personalized images:** promo banners for every product in your Shopify catalog, or a personalized image per contact for email and CRM campaigns. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/e-commerce.md))

## How to run it

- **In the app:** open the workflow, connect your accounts, pick your template and activate it. It then runs on its trigger.
- **From an AI agent:** connect the Orshot MCP server (`https://mcp.orshot.com/mcp`) and ask your agent to create, run or check a workflow.
- **From the API:** the Workflows API (`POST https://api.orshot.com/v1/workflows/:id/run`) is available to the MCP server and on the Enterprise plan ([docs](https://orshot.com/docs/api-reference/workflow-run.md)).

## FAQ

### How do I turn tweets into image posts automatically?

Keep the tweets you want to reuse in a Google Sheet, one per row, and connect it to this workflow. On the schedule you set, Orshot renders each tweet as a branded graphic from your template and posts it to Instagram and LinkedIn.

### Does it post to Instagram and LinkedIn at the same time?

Yes. Add both accounts as destinations and the same rendered image publishes to each of them in one run, so the post looks consistent across channels.

### Can I control which tweets get reposted?

Yes. Only the rows in your sheet go out, so you decide exactly which tweets make the cut. Add rows when you want more, remove them when you do not.

### Can I credit the original author?

Yes. Keep an author column in your sheet and place it on the template, so each card shows the handle it came from.

### How is this different from a scheduling tool?

A scheduler posts images you already made. This makes the image from a line of text, so there is no design step between writing a tweet and posting it as a graphic.
