Quick overview

Create Shopify product video ads at scale with n8n and Zvid. This workflow selects eligible products, generates product-first, benefit-first, and offer-first variants, validates costs, bulk-renders MP4s, and returns review links or sends a tracking-ready manifest to your asset store or social scheduler.

How it works

  1. Starts manually for testing or automatically every Monday at 9:00 AM; keep the schedule inactive until credentials and a dry run are verified.
  2. Queries Shopify’s Admin GraphQL API for recently updated products matching shopifyProductQuery, then keeps items that have a title, priced variant, and public product image.
  3. Creates distinct product-first, benefit-first, and offer-first concepts with hooks, offers, tracking keys, and up to three Shopify images. Variants are allocated round-robin across products.
  4. Applies maxProducts, variantsPerProduct, and the global maxTotalAds cap, builds the contrast-safe Atelier Editorial design, and validates the first resolved ad with the native Zvid node.
  5. With dryRun: true, returns validation warnings and an exact credit quote, then attempts to save the first resolved ad as an editable Zvid project without submitting the paid bulk render.
  6. With dryRun: false, the native Zvid nodes create one bulk render, poll its status until completion or timeout, and collect each completed MP4 URL and job result.
  7. Builds a delivery and performance manifest containing product IDs, storefront URLs, creative formats, tracking keys, and video URLs. It returns assets inside n8n or sends the manifest to an optional HTTPS webhook.

Setup

  1. In n8n, open Settings → Community nodes and install the exact package @zvid/n8n-nodes-zvid; a workspace owner or admin may need to do this.
  2. Create a Zvid API key at https://app.zvid.io/api-keys. In n8n, create one Zvid API credential with that key and assign it to Validate project, Save draft to editor, Submit bulk render, and Get batch status.
  3. Create and install a Shopify Dev Dashboard app with Admin API scope read_products. Obtain an Admin API access token—this is not the Client ID or Client secret—then create an n8n Header Auth credential named X-Shopify-Access-Token and assign it to Get Shopify catalog.
  4. Update Config: use only the store prefix in shopDomain; set the product query, scan and ad limits, brand, colors, CTA, and optional webhook. Run first with dryRun: true, review the quote and draft, then set it to false only when ready to spend credits.

Requirements

  • A Shopify store with an installed Dev Dashboard app and read_products; eligible products need a title, public image, and priced variant. An n8n workspace where an owner or admin can install community nodes. A Zvid account and API key; sufficient credits are required only for live rendering. An HTTPS delivery endpoint is optional.

Customization

  • Adjust shopifyProductQuery, scanLimit, maxProducts, variantsPerProduct, maxTotalAds, formats, hooks, colors, CTA, music, schedule, and deliveryWebhookUrl in Config. maxTotalAds is the global output cap; use 4 for two products × two variants.

Additional info

The Shopify HTTP Request node performs one precise Admin GraphQL query for product media, pricing, currency, domain data, and configurable search. Every Zvid API action uses native @zvid/n8n-nodes-zvid nodes, and no credentials are embedded. Manual testing with five active Shopify products confirmed that 2/1/2 settings select two products and plan one distinct ad each. Actual credit quotes vary by project.
