From Twitter to Automation: A Vibe Marketing Journey

Exploring AI-driven marketing automation with insights from a Twitter thread, set against the backdrop of 2025's vibe marketing trend.

"how do I even get started with vibe marketing"

  1. identify a boring manual task
  2. document yourself doing that task (video/transcript/use an SOP)
  3. load that documentation into Claude/GPT/Grok/your choice
  4. prompt:
    "your a gumloop/n8n/taskade/etc. specialist...
                        create a step by step guide that a non-technical 
                        person can follow to fully automate this process 
                        in as few steps as possible"
  5. do it, see if it works. keep your LLM open and if you run into errors send screenshots, etc...if you need some code or what not, the LLM can provide that too.

this is the start of your journey. it's like a snowball. once it clicks, you'll be hooked. try it and lmk what you think.

N8N is open source, so i imported the format of all 400 nodes into Manus AI, since i have early access. N8N files are just JSON. I can get Manus to literally create the majority of a workflow by prompting it (no it's not perfect), but it's impressive. Going to be dropping a video soon for my followers!

@JordanAutomates love that! I did something similar w/ manus too, very powerful!

@boringmarketer Thanks for the step by step, I have no experience but I will try again and again.🙏

@jhondrl you got this!

@boringmarketer how are you guys handling meta ads and MCP?

@josephathomas haven't played with it yet, but plan to! been digging in

@boringmarketer Attacked such a task two ways:

1)ChatGPT (for advice, code snippets, troubleshooting) + Zapier to run the process. Ended in frustration.

2)Zapier step-by-step screenshot + Replit (for prototype/code/deploy) + ChatGPT & Gemini for advice, troubleshooting. Looks promising.

@Maninoveralls @Replit is like a cheat code. I love it

@boringmarketer How to vibe.

This and your last tweet are the best pieces of advice on the internet rn

@marinadedes thanks Marina!

The Power of N8N and Manus AI: A Game-Changer for Workflow Automation

In one of the replies, @JordanAutomates highlights a fascinating approach: leveraging the open-source nature of N8N by importing its 400+ nodes into Manus AI. Since N8N workflows are structured as JSON files, this integration allows Manus AI to generate workflows through natural language prompts—a powerful demonstration of how AI can simplify automation for marketers.

For those unfamiliar, N8N is a workflow automation platform that operates on a node-based system. As noted in the N8N documentation, data in N8N is passed between nodes as arrays of JSON objects. For example, a simple N8N data structure might look like this:

[
    {
        "json": {
            "name": "Leonardo",
            "primaryColor": "blue"
        }
    }
]

This JSON format makes N8N highly interoperable with other tools, especially AI systems like Manus AI, which excels at autonomous task execution. According to a Hugging Face article, Manus AI is designed to go beyond traditional chatbots by executing tasks across multiple domains, integrating with external tools, and automating workflows without constant human intervention. By feeding N8N’s node structures into Manus AI, users can prompt the AI to create entire workflows—potentially turning a manual process like email campaign tracking into an automated pipeline in minutes.

For marketers, this is a game-changer. Vibe marketing often involves repetitive tasks like data collection, content scheduling, or lead tracking. The ability to automate these processes using natural language instructions (e.g., "create a workflow to sync my CRM with my email marketing tool") empowers even non-technical users to streamline their operations, saving time and boosting creativity for more strategic tasks.

However, as @JordanAutomates notes, the process isn’t perfect. AI tools like Manus AI can sometimes produce errors or "hallucinations"—a term used in AI to describe when models generate incorrect or nonsensical outputs, as explained in the N8N AI Agent documentation. For instance, Manus AI might misinterpret a node’s functionality or generate a workflow that requires manual debugging. To mitigate this, users should follow @boringmarketer’s advice: keep the LLM open, share error screenshots, and request fixes or code snippets as needed.

Looking ahead, the integration of tools like N8N and Manus AI could redefine automation in marketing. As Manus AI expands its third-party integrations—potentially connecting with more platforms like CRMs, ad tools, or analytics dashboards—it could become a central hub for AI-driven workflows. For marketers embracing vibe marketing, this means more time to focus on crafting authentic, engaging campaigns while AI handles the heavy lifting of automation.
