Create a Video From Template with Zapier
Easily Automate Video Creation with KonPro Templates & Zapier
Welcome to Template Video Automation!
Templates enable you to add and customize existing text, images, videos, audios, voices, and avatars. Now you can integrate these templates into your workflows with Zapier for automated video creation.
Creating Template through the Interface
To create templates, visit KonPro Template page and click on Create Template. After that, add a placeholder in your template by using double curly brackets {{}}.

As shown, we've placed a {{name}} placeholder within our scene and script. In this tutorial, we'll set a value for this placeholder using the Template API and create a new video.
Create Your Zap
1. Select a Trigger
Choose a trigger that will initiate your video creation workflow. For template videos, common triggers include new form submissions, database updates, or scheduled events.
Popular Triggers for Template Videos
- Google Forms: New form submission with customer data
- Google Sheets: New row added with template parameters
- Webhook: Custom trigger from your application
- Schedule: Time-based triggers for batch processing
2. Create a Video From Template
Add an action to create a video from your template.
Action Setup
Action: Click on Action → KonPro → Create a Video From Template → Choose your KonPro account → Configure settings.
Select your template from the "Choose a Template" dropdown list.
3. Enter the Elements to Replace and Their Properties
Specify the elements to replace and their properties. For instance, if you used first_name as a variable, enter text.first_name.content and provide the value you want to assign.
Element Format
The format is first element type, then element variable name, then property to change, element.variable.property.
- Replace Text and Script:
text.title_here.content - Replace Image and Video:
image.example.urlorvideo.example.asset_id - Replace Avatar:
character.example_avatar.character_id, also you have to provide typecharacter.example_avatar.type(avatar or talking_photo) - Adjust Fit property for images and videos:
image.example.fit - Adjust Playback Style property for videos:
video.example.play_style
Final Step: Get the Video
Once you create a video using KonPro's API/Zapier, the video must be processed and rendered on the server, which typically takes 2-5 minutes. To obtain a shareable link for the video:
Video Retrieval Setup
- Trigger: Use the "Avatar Video Success" trigger, which activates when the video is successfully created and ready to be accessed.
- Action: Configure actions like sending an email response with the video link once the video is ready.
