About

What it is

This n8n workflow redraws your X profile banner with the faces of your newest followers on it. It asks X for your three newest followers and downloads their profile pictures. Each picture is resized, cut to a circle and shrunk. A Code step puts the three on one item, and a Merge step joins that item with your banner template. An Edit Image step places the three circles at fixed spots on the template. The last node uploads the finished picture as your profile banner. Twelve nodes run it, beside one sticky note.

Who it suits

Creators, communities and small brands who like a banner that thanks new followers. Skip it if you do not want other people’s pictures on your banner, or if you have fewer than three followers. Check X’s current API prices and access first, because Mindket did not.

Who uses it, and how

Industry	Who uses it	How they use it	Example
Creators	Streamers and writers	Show the newest followers on the banner as a thank you	A writer runs it each morning and the banner shows the latest three.
Communities	Group admins	Make the account look alive for visitors	An admin keeps the banner fresh without opening an editor.
Brands	Small shops	Welcome new followers on the front page of the account	A shop adds the three newest faces beside its logo.
Events	Organisers	Show who joined the page before a launch	An organiser runs it by hand the day before the event.

You need to know n8n’s settings: import a file, add two X credentials and host a banner template.

Where to use it

Any n8n that can reach X and your template address will run it, and it needs GraphicsMagick for the image steps.

n8n Cloud: import the file and publish it
Your own n8n server: the same file and steps, and n8n’s Docker image includes GraphicsMagick
X: your own account, with API access
A banner template: an image you host at an address n8n can fetch

Setup

Download saves a zip with workflow.json and Mindket’s setup notes in your downloads folder. Setup is two credentials, your user id and the address of a template.

What you need first

Need	Detail
n8n	On n8n Cloud or on a server of your own. The Edit Image steps need GraphicsMagick
X API access	A bearer token for the followers call, as a Header Auth credential, and an OAuth1 credential for the banner upload. Mindket did not check X’s current prices or which calls your access includes
Your X user id	The number that identifies your account, not your @name
A banner template	A picture at an address n8n can fetch. The placing numbers assume about 1500 pixels wide and 500 high

In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu, choose Import from File and pick workflow.json.
In Fetch new followers, replace <YOUR_X_USER_ID> with your numeric user id, and add a Header Auth credential that sends Authorization with Bearer and your token.
In Fetch Banner Template, replace <YOUR_BANNER_TEMPLATE_URL> with the address of your template picture.
In Update Profile Banner, add an OAuth1 credential for your X app and account.
Run it by hand and look at your profile. Check where the circles land, and move them in Place Avatars on Banner if you need to.

How to use it

Run the workflow by hand when you want a new banner. To refresh it on a timetable, add a Schedule Trigger in front, and keep in mind that every run calls X.

What to change for a different result

To change	Where
How many followers	`max_results` in `Fetch new followers`, and the matching places in `Place Avatars on Banner`
Where the circles land	The x and y numbers in `Place Avatars on Banner`
The size of each circle	`Resize Avatar` and `Shrink Avatar`
The background	The picture at the template address
The schedule	A Schedule Trigger that replaces the manual trigger

Example

You run the workflow with a banner template of 1500 by 500 pixels.

data0 at x 1000, data1 at x 1100, data2 at x 1200, all at y 375

The three follower pictures are placed along the right side of your template, and the new image goes to X as your banner.

For newcomers and experts

If you are new. n8n draws a workflow as boxes joined by lines, and each box, a node, does one job. This one gets pictures from X, edits them like a small image program and sends the new banner back. Try it on a spare account first.

For experts. Three pictures travel as binary fields called data0, data1 and data2.

Where to look closer

Node	What it does	What to know
`Fetch new followers`	Calls X’s followers endpoint for your id	It asks for three and for each profile picture address
`Split Followers`	Turns the `data` list into one item for each follower	It replaces the old Item Lists node
`Download Avatars`	Downloads each picture	An expression swaps `normal` for `400x400` in the address to get a larger picture
`Round Avatar`	Draws a circle and composites the picture with it	The shapes are the original’s numbers and the result was not checked
`Combine Avatars`	Puts the three pictures on one item	It replaces the old Function node and expects exactly three
`Merge Avatars With Template`	Joins the template and the pictures by position	One item each side
`Update Profile Banner`	Posts the finished picture to X as a form	It uses OAuth1 and a version 1.1 address

Good to know

The followers’ pictures are public, and they now appear on your banner.

Followers: only use it if you are comfortable showing their faces. Each picture is already public on their profile
API access: X’s API is billed by use, with credits bought up front. Mindket did not check what the followers call and the banner call cost, whether they are open to you, what the rate limits are, or in what order the followers call returns people
Fixes: n8n hides the old Item Lists node from its node list, so that step is now Split Out. The old Function node is now a Code node, which replaces it. The HTTP and Edit Image steps keep the version they had. The user id, the template address and the credentials are placeholders
Fewer than three followers: the placing step names three pictures, so a smaller list makes it stop with an error
Not run: Mindket did not run it against X. The Code step was tested only on sample items on a local computer, and the look of the circles was not checked
Credentials: the JSON holds none

README and files

README

X profile banner showing your three newest followers

An n8n workflow that redraws your X profile banner with the faces of your newest followers. It asks X for your three newest
followers, downloads their profile pictures and cuts each one to a small circle. It places the circles on a banner
template that you host, then uploads the result as your banner.

What is inside

workflow.json: the workflow as n8n exports it, thirteen nodes. One is a sticky note. It holds no credential.
README.md: these notes.

What we changed from the original copy

The user id in the followers address and the address of the banner template were the original author's. They are now the
placeholders <YOUR_X_USER_ID> and <YOUR_BANNER_TEMPLATE_URL>.
n8n hides the old Item Lists node from its node list, so Split Followers is now a Split Out node on the data list.
The old Function node is now a Code node, Combine Avatars, with the same job.
The two credentials were not kept. The followers call expects a Header Auth credential that sends a bearer token, and the
banner upload expects an OAuth1 credential.
The HTTP and Edit Image steps keep the version they had. Most nodes were renamed to say what they do, such as
Download Avatars, Round Avatar and Place Avatars on Banner. The wiring is unchanged.
A sticky note was added in plain words.

Before you start

An X account with API access. Mindket did not check X's current prices or which calls your access includes.
A bearer token for the followers call and an OAuth1 credential for the banner upload.
Your numeric X user id.
A banner template picture at an address n8n can fetch. The placing numbers assume a template about 1500 pixels wide and
500 high.
GraphicsMagick for the Edit Image steps. n8n's Docker image includes it.
At least three followers.

Set it up

In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu and choose Import from File. Pick workflow.json.
In Fetch new followers, replace <YOUR_X_USER_ID> with your numeric id. Add a Header Auth credential that sends
Authorization with the value Bearer followed by your token, and select it.
In Fetch Banner Template, replace <YOUR_BANNER_TEMPLATE_URL> with the address of your template picture.
In Update Profile Banner, add an OAuth1 credential for your X app and account, and select it.
Run the workflow by hand and look at your profile. Move the circles in Place Avatars on Banner if they land badly.

How a run goes

Fetch new followers asks X for three followers and the address of each profile picture.
Split Followers makes one item for each follower, and Download Avatars downloads each picture. The address is changed
from the small normal size to 400x400.
Resize Avatar sets each picture to 200 by 200. Round Avatar runs three image steps: it creates a 200 by 200 image,
draws a circle on it and composites the picture with it. Shrink Avatar makes the result 75 by 75.
Combine Avatars puts the three pictures on one item as data0, data1 and data2.
Fetch Banner Template downloads your template. Merge Avatars With Template joins it with the pictures by position.
Place Avatars on Banner composites the three pictures at x 1000, 1100 and 1200, all at y 375.
Update Profile Banner posts the finished picture to X as a form.

Change the result

How many followers: max_results in Fetch new followers, and the matching places in Place Avatars on Banner.
Where the circles land: the x and y numbers in Place Avatars on Banner.
The size of each circle: Resize Avatar and Shrink Avatar.
The background: the picture at the template address.
A timetable: replace the manual trigger with a Schedule Trigger.

Good to know

The pictures on your banner are your followers' public profile pictures. Use this only if you are comfortable showing them.
X's API is billed by use, with credits bought up front. Mindket did not check what the followers call and the banner call
cost, whether they are open to you, what the rate limits are, or in what order the followers call returns people.
With fewer than three followers the placing step has nothing to place and stops with an error.
The numbers in Round Avatar are the original's. Mindket did not check how the circle comes out, so look at the result.
Mindket did not run this workflow against X. The Code step was tested only on sample items on a local computer.
