AI Influencer Workflow

Status: Coming soon

End-to-end recipe-first workflow to generate a short social reel from clips + audio, with validate-before-render and async retrieval.

Coming soon

This workflow is intentionally published as a roadmap page. The final production walkthrough may evolve before it is marked live.

Recipes-first path

This walkthrough intentionally uses the recommended Recipes path at /v1/recipes/render.

User request

Create a 15-second social reel from my highlight clips, add narration, and return a final output URL I can post.

Required assets

1 voiceover audio URL
2-4 background media URLs (video or image)
transcript_words array (AssemblyAI-style text/start/end ms)
optional webhook URL for completion delivery

Chosen ReelForge path

Choose recipe: voiceover_explainer
Validate payload first (recommended for production reliability)
Render via recipe endpoint
Retrieve via jobs polling or webhook callback

Final output preview

Make/Zapier mapping tips

Map incoming clip/audio variables directly to the request payload; avoid rebuilding JSON dynamically in multiple steps.
Use a stable idempotency_key pattern per scenario run to prevent accidental duplicate charges.
If webhooks are unavailable in your tool, poll /v1/jobs/{jobId} every 5-10 seconds until terminal status.

Advanced fallback

If your workflow needs frame-level sequencing or layouts recipes cannot express, switch to the Timeline API as an advanced fallback.
