n8n Integration

Automate video generation with n8n workflows. Create videos from spreadsheets, RSS feeds, form submissions, and more.

Ready-to-Use Workflows

Click "Open in n8n" to import these workflows directly, or copy the JSON to paste into n8n.

Basic Video Generator

Webhook trigger → Create video → Return response. Simple starting point for video automation.

Setup

1. Create Credentials

In n8n, go to Settings → Credentials
Click "Add Credential"
Select "Header Auth"
Configure:
- Name: StrataKit API
- Header Name: Authorization
- Header Value: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Basic Workflow: Create Video

HTTP Request Node Configuration

n8n HTTP Request Body

json

1 {
2   "canvas": {
3     "preset": "youtube_short",
4     "segments": [
5       { "type": "video", "url": "{{ $json.video_url }}", "duration": 10 }
6     ]
7   },
8   "webhookUrl": "{{ $env.N8N_WEBHOOK_URL }}"
9 }

HTTP Request Node Settings

Method: POST
URL: https://stratakit.io/api/v1/productions
Authentication: Predefined Credential Type → Header Auth → StrataKit API
Headers: Content-Type: application/json

Sample Video URLs (Creative Commons)

Use these stable Creative Commons videos for testing:

Vertical (9:16): https://assets.stratakit.io/samples/video/8366020-hd_1080_1920_25fps.mp4
Landscape (16:9): https://assets.stratakit.io/samples/video/12221134_3840_2160_24fps.mp4
Square (1:1): https://assets.stratakit.io/samples/video/15421302-uhd_1394_1858_30fps.mp4

Option A: Poll for Completion

Use a loop to check status:

Polling workflow logic

17 linesjavascript

// Set node - Initialize counter
counter = 0
production_id = {{ $json.id }}

// Loop node - While status != completed AND counter < 60
// Inside loop:

// Wait node - 5 seconds

Option B: Use Webhook (Recommended)

Create a separate workflow triggered by webhook:

n8n Code node - Validate and route webhook

29 linesjavascript

1 // Webhook Trigger node
2 // Method: POST
3 // Path: /stratakit-callback
4 
5 // Code node - Validate request
6 const productionId = $input.first().headers['x-stratakit-production-id'];
7 if (!productionId) {
8   throw new Error('Missing production ID header');

Example: Batch Process from Google Sheets

Workflow:
1. Google Sheets Trigger (on new row)
2. HTTP Request → StrataKit API
   - Use column values: {{ $json.video_url }}, {{ $json.title }}
3. Update Google Sheet with production ID
4. Webhook receives completion
5. Update Google Sheet with output URL

Example: RSS Feed to Video

Workflow:
1. RSS Feed Trigger
2. Filter (only new items)
3. For each item:
   - Download media
   - Upload to your storage
   - Create StrataKit production
4. Store results in database
5. Post to social media when complete

Complete Video Production Request

Video with background music using the simple segments format:

Video with music (segments format)

19 linesjson

1 {
2   "canvas": {
3     "preset": "instagram_reel",
4     "segments": [
5       {
6         "type": "video",
7         "url": "https://assets.stratakit.io/samples/video/8366020-hd_1080_1920_25fps.mp4",
8         "duration": 15

Multi-Layer Production

Text overlays are automatically rendered on top of video content in the segments format. Video/image/color segments play sequentially, while text segments overlay at the specified start time:

Complete branded video with classic cinema footage

73 linesjson

1 {
2   "canvas": {
3     "preset": "youtube_short",
4     "segments": [
5       { "type": "color", "color": "#000000", "duration": 2 },
6       {
7         "type": "video",
8         "url": "https://assets.stratakit.io/samples/video/8366020-hd_1080_1920_25fps.mp4",

Error Handling

Error handling in n8n

18 linesjavascript

// After HTTP Request node, add IF node:
// Condition: {{ $json.error?.code }} is not empty

// True branch:
//   - Log error
//   - Send notification (Slack/email)
//   - Retry logic if needed

Rate Limiting

If processing many items, add Wait nodes between API calls to stay within rate limits:

Plan	Rate Limit	Suggested Delay
Starter	120 requests/minute	500ms
Creator	120 requests/minute	500ms
Pro	300 requests/minute	200ms
Scale	1000 requests/minute	60ms
