n8n
Coming SoonRenderly's n8n community node brings video rendering into n8n's open-source workflow automation platform. Install the node package, connect your API key, and add Renderly to any workflow. Create renders from your projects or system templates, map dynamic variables from upstream nodes, and receive webhook notifications when videos are ready — all within n8n's visual workflow builder, self-hosted or on n8n Cloud.
Triggers & Actions
Events that start your workflow and actions you can automate with n8n.
Create Render
Start a video render from any project or system template. Pass dynamic replacement values from upstream nodes like webhooks, databases, or HTTP requests.
Get Render Status
Check the current status of a render job by ID. Returns progress, output URL, file size, and credits consumed.
Render Completed
Webhook trigger that fires when a video render completes. Automatically registers and unregisters the webhook URL with Renderly when the workflow is activated or deactivated.
Render Failed
Webhook trigger that fires when a render fails. Includes the error message and job details for retry logic or team notifications.
How It Works
Get up and running with n8n in a few simple steps.
Install the Renderly node
In n8n, go to Settings → Community Nodes and install 'n8n-nodes-renderly'. Or install manually: npm install n8n-nodes-renderly in your n8n instance.
Get your Renderly API key
Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your Renderly dashboard and generate a new API key.
Add credentials in n8n
Go to Credentials → New Credential → Renderly API and paste your API key. n8n verifies the connection automatically.
Add Renderly to your workflow
Drag the Renderly node or Renderly Trigger node into your workflow canvas. Choose an operation: Create Render, Get Render Status, or a webhook trigger.
Map your dynamic variables
Select a project or template, then pass replacement values as JSON from upstream nodes — HTTP requests, databases, spreadsheets, or any other n8n node.
Activate your workflow
Turn on your workflow. For webhook triggers, n8n automatically registers the webhook URL with Renderly. When the event fires, your workflow runs.
Example Workflow
Render videos from a Google Sheets queue
Poll a Google Sheet for new rows, render a personalized video for each entry, then update the sheet with the video URL when complete.
- 1n8n polls a Google Sheet on a schedule and detects new rows with video data
- 2For each row, n8n calls Renderly's Create Render with the row's name, image URL, and text as replacements
- 3Renderly queues the render and returns a job ID
- 4The Renderly Trigger node fires when the render completes, providing the video URL
- 5n8n updates the original Google Sheet row with the video download link
