Produce short videos for shorts
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Google Drive and Slack, parses the incoming file into rows, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for shorts, around a "Download from Google Drive" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Produce short videos with HTTP / REST API and Google Drive 24/7. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Video Production' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 22 nodes across Google Sheets, Google Drive, Slack. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Google Sheets and Google Drive in step for shorts, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Google Drive call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 nodes in this shorts build
- ✓Every shorts run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Google Sheets
- ✓Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for shorts
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 22 nodes for shorts before wiring Google Sheets
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Google Drive aligned by hand for shorts
- →Shorts work where "Download from Google Drive" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Shorts work that only reaches Google Sheets on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Moving media assets through a processing pipeline
- •Staging metadata and descriptions for publishing
- •Archiving finished assets
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Google Sheets, Google Drive, Slack, HTTP / REST API). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
