Quick overview
Drop a mannequin or flat-lay garment photo into a Google Drive folder and get a 5-second on-model motion clip from Sisif. The workflow animates the exact garment on a model and logs each result (video URL, status, source file) to Google Sheets.
How it works
- Triggers when a new file is created in a specified Google Drive folder.
- Filters out non-image files based on the Google Drive MIME type.
- Downloads the image from Google Drive and converts it to a base64 string for API upload.
- Sends the base64 image and an apparel prompt to Sisif to generate an on-model clip.
- Polls Sisif every 30 seconds for the video status until it is READY, ERROR/REFUNDED, or 40 checks are reached.
- Appends a row to Google Sheets with the file name, Drive file ID, Sisif video ID, status, video/poster URLs, error message, and timestamp (marking TIMEOUT if it never completes).
Setup
- Create a Sisif API key at https://sisif.ai/users/api-keys/ and add it to n8n as an HTTP Bearer Auth credential, then select it in the Sisif HTTP Request steps.
- Connect your Google Drive OAuth2 account and set the specific folder to watch in the Google Drive trigger.
- Connect your Google Sheets OAuth2 account and select the target spreadsheet and sheet in both Google Sheets append actions.
- Create the Google Sheet columns
file_name, drive_file_id, sisif_video_id, status, video_url, poster_url, error_message, and processed_at to match the appended fields.
- Optionally edit the apparel prompt text to control the model, setting, and motion used by Sisif.
Requirements
- A Sisif API key (https://sisif.ai/users/api-keys/), Google Drive and Google Sheets credentials, and a sheet with the headers file_name, drive_file_id, sisif_video_id, status, video_url, poster_url, error_message, processed_at.
Customization
- Change the model, setting and camera move in Apparel Prompt Config. Add a Slack or email step after the Sheets row.
