n8n Workflow: Monthly Customer Usage Recap Video with Zvid

Create a vertical “Monthly Customer Usage Recap” video with n8n + Zvid

This n8n workflow automatically generates a polished, vertical month-in-review video for a single customer using their usage metrics—complete with animated statistics, optional delta indicators, and a shareable video link rendered via Zvid.

What this workflow does

• Run monthly or manually: the workflow can be scheduled to run on the first day of each month or triggered on demand.
• Load Config settings: branding, timings, and optional delivery settings are read from your Config.
• Fetch customer metrics: it retrieves one customer’s metrics from your metricsUrl. If metricsUrl is empty, it uses the bundled sample.
• Build the video content: metrics are normalized, then the workflow generates a vertical statistics video using usage labels/values (and optional delta highlights).
• Validate and quote with Zvid: it validates the project and credit quote using the native Zvid node.
• Render (or preview): with dryRun=true, you get an editor draft/quote; otherwise it renders and polls until completion.
• Return and optionally email the result: the workflow outputs the video URL and can send it by email via configurable SMTP settings.

Use cases

• SaaS teams creating a monthly “usage recap” video for onboarding-to-retention reporting
• Customer success workflows that share product impact in a visually consistent format
• Operators testing creative templates using dryRun before spending render credits

Technical details

• n8n automation workflow using nodes: if, set, code, wait, email send, and zvidn8n-nodes-zvid (@zvid/n8n-nodes-zvid).
• Zvid integration: uses Zvid API credentials (Base URL: https://api.zvid.io) for project validation, quoting, and rendering.
• Expected metrics format: userName, monthLabel, optional highlight, and stats with label, value, and optional delta.

Perfect for n8n users and automation engineers who want an efficient, repeatable way to turn usage data into shareable monthly customer videos with Zvid.
