What this workflow does

This AI workflow has 13 nodes and runs when a chat message arrives. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes. It also calls instagram-reels-downloader-api.p.rapidapi.com, generativelanguage.googleapis.com and api.replicate.com over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: When a chat message arrives.

1. Reel Downloader (HTTP Request): calls instagram-reels-downloader-api.p.rapidapi.com
2. Formatter (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: Instagram Reel
3. Checks Null/ Not (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
4. Download Reel (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
5. Upload the video to model (HTTP Request): calls generativelanguage.googleapis.com (POST)
6. Analyse the Video (HTTP Request): calls generativelanguage.googleapis.com (POST)
7. Create the Video (HTTP Request): calls api.replicate.com (POST)
8. Pause (Wait): waits 2 seconds
9. Get Status of the Video (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
10. Checks if the video generation is complete (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false

…plus 2 more steps. See the full node list below.
