Create AI Instagram brand posts with Seedream 4.0, OpenAI and Postiz

Description

This workflow is designed to fully automate the creation and publishing of Instagram marketing content by combining AI-powered text generation with Bytedance Seedream 4.0, image creation, and social media scheduling into a single streamlined pipeline.

Starting from a simple prompt and reference images, the workflow generates both the visual asset and the caption, then automatically publishes the final content to Instagram. It eliminates the need for manual design, copywriting, and posting, enabling a faster and more scalable content production process.

How it works

This workflow automates the creation of a branded visual + Instagram caption, then posts the result to Instagram via Postiz.

Manual trigger starts the workflow.
Set params defines:
A creative prompt for generating an images
A reference logo URL
Normalize converts the image URL(s) into a JSON array.
The workflow splits into two parallel branches:
Image generation branch:
Calls Kie AI Seedream 4.0 Edit API with the prompt + image URL(s)
Waits for async completion via a webhook
Extracts the generated image URL
Downloads the image binary
Caption generation branch:
Sends the prompt to an OpenAI Chat Model
Uses a Social Media Manager LLM chain to produce an Instagram caption with emojis and hashtags
Parses the JSON output into a clean caption
Merge combines the downloaded image and the caption.
Upload IG Image sends the image to Postiz’s upload endpoint.
Instagram node schedules/posts the image + caption to Instagram.

Set up steps

Add credentials:
OpenAi account I – OpenAI API key
Kie AI – Token from Kie.ai API credentials
Postiz account – Postiz API credentials

Adjust the prompt (optional):
Edit the Set params node → PROMPT value to change the image generation text

Confirm webhook for async wait:
The Wait node uses a resume webhook – ensure the webhook URL is reachable by Kie AI

Validate Postiz integration:
Check that the Instagram node has the correct Postiz integration ID

Activate the workflow (if scheduling needed, replace Manual Trigger with a schedule trigger)

Execute manually to test the full flow from prompt → image → caption → Instagram post
