Google Drive to On-Model Video Clips (Sisif) + Sheets Log

Turn Google Drive garment photos into 5-second Sisif on-model video clips—and log every result to Google Sheets

This n8n workflow watches a specified Google Drive folder, detects new garment images, sends them to Sisif to generate a 5-second on-model motion clip, and automatically records the video status + links in Google Sheets.

What this workflow does

• Monitors a Google Drive folder: triggers whenever a new file is created in your selected folder.
• Filters to image uploads only: checks the file’s Google Drive MIME type and skips non-image files.
• Prepares the image for Sisif: downloads the image from Google Drive, converts it to a base64 string, and uploads it to Sisif along with an apparel prompt.
• Generates an on-model clip: requests Sisif to create the motion clip from the exact garment on a model.
• Polls for completion: checks Sisif every 30 seconds until the status becomes READY, ERROR/REFUNDED, or until 40 checks are reached (then marked as TIMEOUT).
• Appends a log row to Google Sheets: writes file_name, drive_file_id, sisif_video_id, status, video_url, poster_url, error_message, and processed_at.

Use cases

• Fashion teams upload flat-lay photos to Drive and want automated on-model previews without manual export workflows.
• SaaS operators need repeatable media generation pipelines with audit-friendly tracking in Google Sheets.
• E-commerce content teams track failed/refunded generations using the stored status and error_message.
