I have a goolge sheet with scripts ready. Now I want to automate the video creation flow connecting Google Sheet and HeyGen. Can you share with me the best way to do it? - I’ve been sitting down with chatGPT for a few hours and it’s such a pain. Didn’t think that a simple flow like this can’t be done quickly.

Hi ​@JenT,

 

Are you coming across a specific error message?

 

I believe you’ll need to use the “Create Video from Template” action on the HeyGen app (Pictured)

 

There will probably be some fields that are required to be populated like “script”, “title”, “avatar”….etc maybe even a few that are optional like “video_style” or “background_music”...etc. You will need to map the column values from Google sheet to HeyGen. Once you authorize your Account in Zapier, a tab titled “Configuration” should become available for you to map in the Google Sheet values. 

 

You will also need to specify when the zap should run. It can occur when a new row is added to the Google Sheet or when a row is updated. For example, Column Name “Create Video” on a specific row is filled in with a “Yes”.

 

Hope this helps!

 

-Robin
