n8n Shopify Product Video Ads Workflow with Zvid Bulk MP4

Automate Shopify product video ads at scale with n8n + Zvid (bulk MP4-ready)

This n8n workflow selects eligible Shopify products, generates multiple video-ad concepts (product-first, benefit-first, offer-first), validates your costs with Zvid, and bulk-renders final MP4 assets—returning completed URLs or a tracking-ready delivery manifest.

What this workflow does

• Runs safely: starts manually for testing or automatically every Monday at 9:00 AM. The schedule should remain inactive until credentials and a dry run are verified.
• Pulls eligible products from Shopify: queries Shopify’s Admin GraphQL API using shopifyProductQuery, then keeps items that have a title, a priced variant, and a public product image.
• Creates ad concepts: generates distinct concepts with hooks, offers, tracking keys, and up to three Shopify images, allocating variants across products in a round-robin style.
• Ensures caps + design safety: applies maxProducts, variantsPerProduct, and the global maxTotalAds limit, then builds contrast-safe Atelier Editorial styling.
• Validates with Zvid: if dryRun: true, it returns validation warnings and an exact credit quote, then saves the first resolved ad as an editable Zvid project (without submitting paid bulk render).
• Bulk renders MP4s: if dryRun: false, the native Zvid nodes create one bulk render, poll status until completion (or timeout), and collect each completed MP4 URL with job results.
• Outputs delivery data: builds a delivery/performance manifest including product IDs and storefront URLs for downstream asset storage or social scheduling.

Use cases

• Weekly creation of Shopify product video ads for new or recently updated items.
• Testing concept directions (product-first vs. benefit-first vs. offer-first) before committing credits.
• Generating bulk MP4 assets for an asset store pipeline or performance tracking workflow.

Technical details

• Integrations/Nodes: n8n if, set, code, wait, Zvid nodes (zvidn8n-nodes-zvid), and a sticky note.
• Source data: Shopify Admin GraphQL API for recently updated products matching shopifyProductQuery.
• Workflow control: configurable caps (maxProducts, variantsPerProduct, maxTotalAds) and a dryRun cost-validation mode.
