What is Shotstack Workflows?

Shotstack Workflows is our new video creation tool that allow you to create thousands of videos in minutes, without writing a line of code. Use Shotstack's industry-leading video automation services, advanced generative AI models and hundreds of integrations to simplify and speed up your video workflows.

Shotstack Workflows allows any user– from developers to marketers – to automate video creation from start to finish. In just a few minutes, you can:

  • Turn a single video template into thousands of unique videos;

  • Create bulk videos via a CSV or Webhook;

  • Generate hyper-personalised voiceovers in over 30 languages;

  • Build data-driven and tailored videos that are automatically saved on your preferred hosting service.

What is a Trigger?

Every workflow begins with a Trigger—the event that sets the workflow in motion. Trigger a workflow using a CSV file upload or a Webhook.

What is an Action?

Actions are the steps that make up the workflow. Actions can be used to create, transform, enhance, generate and analyse all kinds fo media files. Actions are chained together to create a workflow.

Why would I want to use Workflows instead of the APIs?

Workflows is a great way to quickly create data-driven videos at scale, without having to write a line of code. You can sequence together our various APIs and create complex workflows, initiating them with a webhook or CSV.
