Make
LiveRenderly's Make integration brings video rendering into Make's visual scenario builder. Add Renderly modules to any scenario to create renders, check status, and receive instant notifications — all through Make's drag-and-drop interface. Select a project, map customizable fields from earlier steps, and let Make run your entire video production workflow.
Triggers & Actions
Events that start your workflow and actions you can automate with Make.
Create Render
Start a video render from any of your projects. Select a project from the dropdown, and Make dynamically generates input fields for all your project's dynamic variables.
Get Render Status
Check the status of a render job by ID. Returns the current status, progress, output URL, and credits consumed.
Render Completed
An instant trigger that fires when a video render completes. Uses a dedicated webhook URL so each scenario gets its own events.
Render Failed
An instant trigger that fires when a render fails. Includes the error message and job details for debugging or retry logic.
How It Works
Get up and running with Make in a few simple steps.
Get your Renderly API key
Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your Renderly dashboard and generate a new API key for Make.
Add the Renderly module in Make
In your Make scenario, click the "+" button and search for Renderly. Add any Renderly module to your scenario flow.
Connect with your API key
When prompted, create a new connection and paste your API key. Make verifies the connection and shows your account email and credits.
Select a project
In the Create Render module, select one of your projects from the dropdown. Make automatically loads the project's dynamic variables as input fields.
Map your replacement values
Map data from earlier steps in your scenario (like a webhook, spreadsheet, or API response) to each customizable field. These values replace the defaults in your project.
Set up webhook triggers
Add Render Completed or Render Failed triggers to receive instant notifications. Each scenario gets its own webhook URL, registered automatically with Renderly.
Example Workflow
Generate product videos from Shopify
When a new product is added to your Shopify store, automatically render a product showcase video using the product's images, title, and price.
- 1A new product is created in Shopify (Make watches via Shopify webhook)
- 2Make extracts the product title, price, description, and main image URL
- 3Make triggers a Renderly render using your product video project, mapping Shopify data to dynamic variables
- 4Renderly renders the video and fires the completion webhook
- 5Make catches the completion, downloads the video, and uploads it to your CDN or social media scheduler
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about setup, billing, and troubleshooting.
Add a Renderly module to any Make scenario, create a connection with your API key (from Settings → API Keys in Renderly), and select the action or trigger you want to use. Make handles the rest with its visual builder.
Both offer the same Renderly features (create renders, check status, webhook triggers). Make uses a visual scenario builder with more complex branching and data transformation options, while Zapier uses a simpler linear Zap format. Choose whichever platform fits your workflow.
When you select a project in the Create Render module, Make automatically loads your project's customizable fields as inputs. Map values from earlier steps in your scenario to fill them in.
Use the Render Failed instant trigger to catch failures automatically. It provides the job ID, error message, and timestamp. You can route failures to error handling logic, retry the render, or notify your team via email or Slack.
