n8n Instagram Reel Generator: Pollo API + MiniMax H3

Generate Instagram Reels with MiniMax H3 via Pollo API—automatically inside n8n

This n8n automation workflow collects your Instagram Reel prompt (and optional image references), sends it to the Pollo API using the MiniMax H3 model, then automatically polls until the video generation succeeds or fails—returning the final task status and the resulting Reel video URL.

What this workflow does

• Receives input from an n8n Form Trigger submission: prompt, optional image_url values, model_path (e.g., minimax/minimax-h3), and a Pollo api_key.
• Submits a generation request to the Pollo API MiniMax H3 generation endpoint via an HTTP Request, including the prompt and any optional image input.
• Waits and polls: the workflow waits 10 seconds, then requests the current generation status using the returned task ID.
• Repeats until complete: cycles through wait-and-poll until the status is succeed or failed.
• Returns results from the final status response, including task ID, status, media type, video URL, and remaining/charged credit details.

Use cases

• Turn creative briefs into Instagram Reel video drafts from a simple form in n8n.
• Batch-generate Reel concepts by providing prompt + optional reference images, while tracking Pollo API task completion automatically.
• For SaaS operators: expose a controlled “request a Reel” experience with status feedback and the final URL.

Technical details

• Nodes/logic: Form Trigger, HTTP Request, Wait, If, Set, Sticky Note.
• API integration: Pollo API MiniMax H3 generation endpoint + status polling using task ID.
• Key inputs: prompt, optional image_url, model_path (MiniMax H3), and api_key.

Set up your Pollo API account, add the form fields, run the workflow once to get the form URL, and start generating MiniMax H3 Instagram Reels with automated status handling.
