Generate product video ads for new Shopify products with OpenAI and Sisif

## Turn new Shopify products into AI product video ads with Sisif ### Who it's for Shopify merchants and e-commerce teams who want a short motion video on every new product page without a video shoot. ### How it works 1. Shopify Trigger fires when a product is created. 2. The main product image and copy are extracted. Products without an image are skipped. 3. An AI model writes a short camera/motion prompt for that product. 4. Sisif animates the product photo into a 5-second portrait MP4 (image-to-video). 5. The workflow polls every 30 s until the video is READY, stops on ERROR/REFUNDED, and times out after 40 checks. 6. The MP4 is uploaded to Shopify with a staged upload and added to the product as media (Admin GraphQL API). If any Shopify step fails, the MP4 is saved to Google Drive instead. 7. A Slack message reports the result. ### Setup 1. Create a Sisif API key at https://sisif.ai/users/api-keys/ and add it in n8n as a Bearer Auth credential. Select it on Generate Video from Image and Check Video Status. 2. Create a Shopify custom app with read_products and write_products scopes, then add a Shopify Access Token credential. Select it on the trigger, Create Staged Upload and Attach Video to Product. If your app is new, also add the write_files scope. 3. Open Workflow Config and set shop_subdomain (the part before .myshopify.com), shopify_api_version (a supported Admin API version, default 2026-07), drive_folder_id and slack_channel. 4. Add OpenAI (or swap in any chat model), Google Drive and Slack credentials. 5. Create a test product with an image, check the run, then activate. ### Customize - Edit the prompt in Write Motion Prompt to change style or tone. - Change the poll interval in Wait 30s. - Each image clip costs one Sisif clip; duration and resolution are fixed by Sisif for photo clips.
