Try It Out!

This n8n template demonstrates how to use Reka Vision to automatically generate a customized video clip from a YouTube video using AI. The workflow keeps you informed by sending an email when the work is done, ready to be published on social!

How it works

  • Looking at the RSS feed of a YouTube channel, the flow will be triggered when there is a new video published.
  • Using Reka's API, we will submit a request for creating a clip using AI. You can customize:
  • the template used
  • the prompt to generate the clip
  • if you want captions or not
  • the minimum or maximum duration of the clip
  • Wait a little while, the magic happens
  • Check if the job status is completed
  • If yes, it send an success email
  • if no, it will loop
  • Implement best practices with a failsafe after 10 iterations in the loop; it will send an error email

Gettting Started

Edit those nodes with your settings and credentials.

  • When New Video: Set the Feed URL to the YouTube channel you want to follow (ex:
  • Create a clip: Add your credential. Change the prompt and adjust the setting to your preferences
  • Send ___ EMail: Personalize the email the way you like.

Requirements

  • Reka AI API key (it's free! Get yours from here from Reka)
  • Gmail account (feel free to change it to another mail provider)

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/12829/12829.json as the source template for this automation.

  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.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
