detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly create dynamic, auto-updating images and redirect URLs for your content. Keep your audience engaged with fresh visuals and always-relevant links, powered by automated workflows.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes content delivery by automating the creation of both dynamic images and custom redirect URLs. Imagine a constantly updated image that visually represents timely information, paired with a short, memorable link that always points to the most relevant content. This workflow leverages the power of n8n to pull real-time data, such as the current date and time, and embed it directly into visually appealing images and redirect destinations. The result? Content that feels perpetually fresh and informative, driving higher engagement and ensuring your audience always accesses the latest information through a simplified URL.
Key Features
- Auto-Updating Images: Generates custom images that dynamically display the current date and time, ensuring visual relevance.
- Dynamic URL Redirects: Creates short, branded redirect URLs that point to time-sensitive content, like daily Wikipedia articles.
- Scheduled Automation: Runs workflows on a schedule (daily for URLs, hourly for images) to maintain up-to-date content without manual intervention.
- GitHub Integration: Automatically updates a file on GitHub with the generated image, providing a shareable asset.
- Branded Short Links: Utilizes a custom domain (
short.fyi) for professional and memorable redirect links.

operationswithin the "Create Image" node to adjust image dimensions, colors, fonts, and the dynamic text displayed (e.g., add custom messages). - Define URL Destination: Update the
destinations.urlin the "Create new URL redirection" and "Update URL redirection" nodes to point to your desired dynamic content source (e.g., a specific Wikipedia page). - Connect Credentials: Ensure your
