Workflow name
Create AI video ads from product descriptions using AI Agent and deAPI

Who is this for?

  • Marketing teams who need quick video ads without a production crew
  • E-commerce sellers promoting products on social media
  • Freelancers and agencies producing ad creatives for clients
  • Anyone who wants to turn a product description into a video ad in minutes

What problem does this solve?

Producing a video ad typically requires a designer for the visuals, a motion artist for animation, and hours of back-and-forth. This workflow replaces that entire pipeline — fill out a form, and get a ready-to-use video ad delivered to your inbox.

What this workflow does

  1. Collects product name, description, visual style, and recipient email through a web form
  2. AI Agent analyzes the product and uses both deAPI Image Prompt Booster and Video Prompt Booster tools to create optimized prompts for image and video generation
  3. Generates a 1280x720 landscape product hero image using deAPI
  4. Animates the hero image into a short video ad using deAPI image-to-video generation
  5. Emails the video ad link to the specified address via Gmail

Setup

Requirements

  • n8n instance (self-hosted or n8n Cloud)
  • deAPI account for prompt boosting, image generation, and video generation
  • Anthropic account for the AI Agent
  • Gmail account for email delivery

Installing the deAPI Node

  • n8n Cloud: Go to SettingsCommunity Nodes and toggle the "Verified Community Nodes" option
  • Self-hosted: Go to SettingsCommunity Nodes and install n8n-nodes-deapi

Configuration

  1. Add your deAPI credentials (API key + webhook secret)
  2. Add your Anthropic credentials (API key)
  3. Add your Gmail credentials (OAuth2)
  4. Ensure your n8n instance is on HTTPS

How to customize this workflow

  • Change the AI model: Swap Anthropic for OpenAI, Google Gemini, or any other LLM provider
  • Adjust the creative direction: Modify the AI Agent system message to target different ad styles (product demo, lifestyle, teaser, etc.)
  • Change the delivery method: Replace Gmail with Slack, Microsoft Teams, or upload directly to Google Drive / S3
  • Change the aspect ratio: Switch from landscape to square or portrait for Instagram Stories or TikTok
  • Add background removal: Insert a deAPI Remove Background node before video generation for a clean product cutout
  • Batch processing: Replace the Form Trigger with a Google Sheets or Airtable trigger to generate ads for a product catalog
