![]() ![]() In building the zap in Zapier, the appropriate Base, Table, and fields in Airtable are available to select. In Zapier, I have not reached my task or zap limits, so that's not the issue. I have paid subscriptions to both platforms. Also, I've confirmed that Zapier is "on" as a third-party app in Airtable Integrations. I know this because I have another zap that works well with no issues to send the same source data to a different Airtable table in the same base. I've been troubleshooting without success, so seeks suggestions here. While Zapier indicates success sending data to Airtable, no data shows up in Airtable base and table. I've created seemingly simple Zapier automations (zap) to bring subscription data into Airtable by creating/updating records in a Base table. If everything went well, you will see a new video in the Placid Video field of your Airtable.Hi everyone (reposting to correct category) In case you're impatient, you can run the Zap manually instead. Remember it could take up to 15 minutes for the Zap to get triggered after adding a record if you're on a free plan. Now we're going to test our brand new video generation workflow! Add a new row of data to your Airtable to start it: Enter a tagline and upload 2 or more images. ![]() Then put the Placid Passthrough value into the Record field, and the Placid Video URL value into the Placid Video field. Next, we are going to add a Update record in Airtable action. Zapier will then receive the generated video, as well as our passthrough value of the record ID. To set it up, add a new Zap with the Placid New Video trigger. The second Zap will start once Placid is finished generating our video, and save it back to Airtable. ![]() Second Zap: Send the video back to your Airtable when it's generated This makes sure our second Zap knows to which Airtable row it should send the finished video. To prepare our workflow for the second step, we also need to fill the Airtable Record ID into the Passthrough Text field. We can now fill data from Airtable step into the fields: Fill the Airtable Video Tagline field into the text field of the Text layer, and the Airtable Images Thumbnails Full URL into the image field of the Images layer. You will then see fields for the □ dynamic layers in this template. Connect your Placid account and project using the project's API Key. Now, we're going to add a Placid Create video action as the next workflow step. To set it up, add a new Zap that gets triggered by every new record in your Airtable.Ĭonnect your Airtable account and choose the base and table you set up before. The first Zap will take the data of a new Airtable record and generate a video. Now we're going to connect everything with Zapier, creating our automated video generation workflow! We're going to set up two Zaps for this.įirst Zap: Generate a video when a new row is added to your Airtable (I hid the Placid Video field.) This form could be shared with team members, or bookmarked for a quick way to add rows and generate videos. I also created a Form view titled Slideshow Video Generator, with fields for the tagline and images. Placid Video (Attachment) for our generated video.Images (Attachment) for a photo slideshow in our Image layer.Video Tagline (Text) to fill into our Text layer.Now we're going to prepare our video-generating Airtable base! We added three fields to a table: If you want to learn more about how animations work in Placid, you can read our video guide! Set up your data in Airtable These settings add animations to the image while it is visible (a Ken Burns zoom effect), and make sure that our slideshow has a fade between the photos. Background Shapes: Fade In, Medium, Ease out, 150ms delayĪdditionally, I set the active animation and value transition for the Image layer:.Image & Image BG: Fade In, Slow, Ease out, 400ms delay.Text: Slide in up, Slow, Ease out, 600ms delay.Logo: Slide in right, Slow, Ease out, 750ms delay.In the second step, I customized the entry animations: I chose a fade in for enter animations in the first step. You can finetune the animations or change them completely. They are a nice starting point, adding a staggered animation to all layers. Open the animation settings ( Video settings > Configure animations) to get some suggestions for effects. That already looks good, but we're going to add some more animations now. ![]()
