How to use the workflow

This workflow takes a Loom link, extracts the video ID, uses the Loom API to download the video, then sends it to Gemini along with your question. Finally, it sends the output to Slack.

To use it, you just need to add your own API key for Gemini and Slack connection.

Click the link above to get your Gemini API key, then add a generic "Query auth" type credential in n8n. The name will be "key" and the value will be your API key.

One way to customize this workflow would be to make the trigger any received email, extract the Loom link, and run an auto-prompt like "Describe this video in detail".

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.
