# Scheduled multi-photo Facebook posts with Cloudinary

Started by a clock. It calls services over plain HTTP rather than through connectors. 34 steps, 1 branch, 3 loops or waits: large, and worth reading before you trust it with anything live.

## Questions

What does it need to run?

An n8n account. You connect your own accounts after importing it; none are included.

What starts it?

It starts on a clock.

Does it use AI?

No. Every step is fixed logic or a call to a service, so it does the same thing every time.

How long does it take to set up?

Take your time. At 34 steps it is large: read it before trusting it with anything live.

How do I import it?

Copy the workflow, open a new workflow in n8n and paste. The steps appear on the canvas, ready for your own accounts.

**Before you run it**

Nothing here has been tested by us. It is somebody's working automation, read and described from its own steps. Treat the connections it wants as a list of accounts it will touch, and read the 34 steps before you point it at anything that matters.
