n8n Workflow: Generate Viral TikTok/IG Reel Clips from YouTube Videos with Vizard.AI

This n8n workflow automates the process of generating short, viral-ready video clips from YouTube videos using the Vizard.AI platform and then notifies you via Slack. It's designed to streamline content creation for social media, saving time and effort.

What it does

This workflow simplifies and automates the following steps:

1. Triggers on Form Submission: The workflow starts when a new submission is received via an n8n form. This form likely contains the YouTube video URL and potentially other parameters for Vizard.AI.
2. Prepares Data: It processes the incoming form data, likely extracting the YouTube URL and any other relevant fields.
3. Initiates Vizard.AI Job: It makes an HTTP request to the Vizard.AI API to start the process of generating short video clips from the provided YouTube video.
4. Waits for Vizard.AI Completion: The workflow then pauses, waiting for a specified duration to allow Vizard.AI to process the video and generate the clips.
5. Checks Vizard.AI Job Status: After the wait, it makes another HTTP request to the Vizard.AI API to check the status of the job.
6. Filters for Completion: It checks if the Vizard.AI job has completed successfully.
7. Extracts Clip Data: If the job is complete, it extracts the generated video clip URLs or other relevant data from the Vizard.AI response.
8. Notifies via Slack: Finally, it sends a notification to a designated Slack channel with the results, likely including links to the generated viral clips.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• Vizard.AI Account: An active Vizard.AI account with API access. You will need your Vizard.AI API Key.
• Slack Account: A Slack workspace and a channel where you want to receive notifications. You will need a Slack API Token or Webhook URL configured in n8n.
• n8n Form: An n8n Form Trigger configured to accept YouTube video URLs.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:

   • Download the provided JSON file for this workflow.
   • In your n8n instance, click on "Workflows" in the left sidebar.
   • Click "New" and then "Import from JSON".
   • Paste the JSON content or upload the file.

2. Configure Credentials:

   • HTTP Request (Vizard.AI):
     • Locate the "HTTP Request" nodes in the workflow.
     • You will need to set up a credential for Vizard.AI (e.g., "Header Auth" or "API Key Auth") if not already present. This credential should contain your Vizard.AI API Key.
     • Ensure the URLs for Vizard.AI API calls are correctly configured (e.g., https://api.vizard.ai/v1/jobs for starting a job and https://api.vizard.ai/v1/jobs/{{$json.jobId}} for checking status).
   • Slack:
     • Locate the "Slack" node.
     • Configure your Slack credential. This typically involves providing a Slack API Token or a Webhook URL.
     • Specify the Slack channel where you want to receive notifications.

3. Configure n8n Form Trigger:

   • Locate the "On form submission" node.
   • Click on it to open its settings.
   • Note the "Webhook URL" provided by this node. This is the URL you will use to submit YouTube video links.
   • You may want to customize the form fields to ensure it captures the YouTube URL and any other necessary parameters for Vizard.AI.

4. Activate the Workflow:

   • Once all credentials and configurations are set, click the "Activate" toggle in the top right corner of the workflow editor to enable it.

5. Usage:

   • Submit a YouTube video URL (and any other required data) to the n8n form's Webhook URL.
   • The workflow will then automatically initiate the clip generation on Vizard.AI and notify you in Slack upon completion.
