n8n Workflow: Auto Create Real Estate Video from Google Sheets + Zvid

Auto-generate Real Estate Reels from Google Sheets using n8n + Zvid

This n8n workflow automatically pulls the next unprocessed property listing from Google Sheets (or Airtable), builds a ready-to-render Zvid vertical video (Instagram Reel–style), validates the project, renders an MP4, and writes the resulting VideoUrl back to your sheet.

What this workflow does

• Runs on schedule or manually: configured to run daily at 9am (or via manual execution).
• Finds the next listing to process: reads listings from Google Sheets (or fetches from Airtable) and selects the first record with an empty Status field.
• Normalizes and validates input data: formats address, price, beds/baths/sqft, photos, and agent details; stops with an error if required fields (like Address or at least two photo URLs) are missing.
• Music URL checking: verifies the configured music URL is reachable, not erroring, and within the configured size limit; removes music from the Zvid project if it fails checks.
• Builds and validates Zvid project JSON: creates the Zvid vertical reel project from listing data and validates it using Zvid’s free validation endpoint to estimate credits and capture warnings.
• Dry run option: when dryRun is enabled, can save a draft in the Zvid editor and output a preview summary without rendering.
• Renders and polls: when dryRun is disabled, submits the Zvid render job, polls until completion/timeout, then returns a run summary with the final video URL.
• Updates Google Sheets: in Google Sheets mode, sets Status=done and writes back VideoUrl (optionally downloading the MP4 for review).

Use cases

• Real estate teams generating listing reels in batches from a centralized Google Sheet.
• SaaS operators automating “content pipeline” steps: draft/validate with Zvid before spending render credits.
• Automation engineers building reliable scheduled workflows with data validation and safe failure behavior.
