Setup

Setup instructions

Get your workflow up and running in minutes with these simple steps.

1

Prerequisites

You'll need an Eliassdevland n8n hosting plan, an OpenAI account, a Tavily account, a JSON2Video account, a Gmail account, and an Anthropic account.

2

Configure OpenAI credentials

In n8n, open Credentials → New → OpenAI. Paste your OpenAI secret key and, if required, your organization ID. Save, then select the credential in every node that references the OpenAI service.

3

Add Tavily search API key

Create a Generic HTTP Header Auth credential. Set the Header Name to Authorization and the Header Value to "Bearer YOUR_TAVILY_KEY". Save and attach this credential to the HTTP Request node that calls https://api.tavily.com.

4

Add JSON2Video API key

Create another HTTP Header Auth credential using the header name and value format required by JSON2Video (commonly Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JSON2VIDEO_KEY). Attach it to both nodes that call https://api.json2video.com.

5

Connect Gmail

In Credentials, click New → Gmail OAuth2 and follow Google's OAuth flow to grant n8n access to the account that will send the final video email. Choose this Gmail credential in the "Send Email" node.

6

Add Anthropic API key

Create a new Anthropic credential in n8n, paste your API key and save it, then assign it to the LangChain Anthropic node so the script-writing step can run.

7

Insert your video template ID

Open the Set node labelled "Paste your template_id" and replace the empty template_id value with the template ID you received from JSON2Video, then save the node.

8

Customize form options

Edit either form node to add or remove dropdown choices for categories, styles, durations or voice models to better match your creative needs.

9

Tweak email copy or wait times

Update the Gmail node's subject and body text, or adjust the two Wait nodes if you need a different rendering buffer or email wording.

10

Activate the workflow

Click Save, then toggle the workflow to Active. The automation starts when someone submits the public User Input Form — guiding them through video selection and sending the finished video by email.
