1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate product videos from images with BrowserAct and Google Drive
Workflow name
Generate product videos from images with BrowserAct and Google Drive

How it works

This workflow uses BrowserAct to run an AI-powered browser automation that collects structured product data, including image URLs and related metadata.

The workflow then:

  • Parses the BrowserAct output into individual product items
  • Iterates through each product entry
  • Downloads the product image and converts it into Base64 format
  • Sends the image together with a predefined prompt to an AI video generation API
  • Polls the generation status until the video is ready
  • Downloads the generated short video file
  • Uploads both the original product image and the generated video to Google Drive

Each product is processed independently, making the workflow suitable for batch-based and scalable automation scenarios.

Set up steps

  • Connect your BrowserAct account to enable the browser-based data extraction workflow
  • Connect a Google Drive account where source images and generated videos will be stored
  • Review the input parameters provided by the BrowserAct node, such as target URL, search keyword, or data limit
  • Adjust the product processing limit or batch size if you want to control execution time
  • Run the workflow manually once to verify the output before using it in regular automation

Additional explanations and configuration details are provided as sticky notes directly inside the workflow.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/12704/12704.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.
