How to connect ConvertAPI and Creatomate
Create a New Scenario to Connect ConvertAPI and Creatomate
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a ConvertAPI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, ConvertAPI or Creatomate will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find ConvertAPI or Creatomate, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the ConvertAPI Node
Select the ConvertAPI node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the ConvertAPI and Creatomate Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that donβt require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ConvertAPI, Creatomate, and any additional nodes, donβt forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the ConvertAPI and Creatomate integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Creatomate (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Creatomate
ConvertAPI + Creatomate + Google Drive: Automatically convert documents uploaded to a specific folder into video format using ConvertAPI. Then, utilize Creatomate to add intro/outro templates, and finally upload the completed video to Google Drive for easy sharing and access.
Creatomate + ConvertAPI + Airtable: Triggered by a new record in Airtable, this automation uses Creatomate to render a video based on a template populated with data from the record. The rendered video is then converted to a different format using ConvertAPI and the final result logged back into Airtable.
