Automate with Zapier or Make
Create videos, publish and schedule from Zapier or Make using your personal API token.
Video coming soon
Zapier and Make talk to KolReel through the API (Creator and Studio).
1. Get a token. In Integrations, tab API & AI, create a personal token with the API scope and copy it.
2. Add a step.
- Zapier: add the action Webhooks by Zapier, event Custom Request.
- Make: add the module HTTP, Make a request.
In both, add the header Authorization with the value Bearer YOUR_TOKEN, and send JSON.
3. Pick what to do.
- Create a video:
POST https://kolreel.com/api/v1/videoswithtemplate_id,titleand eitheraudio_url(a public link to the recording) orscriptwithnarrate: true. - Check it:
GET https://kolreel.com/api/v1/videos/{id}untilstatusisready. - Publish:
POST https://kolreel.com/api/v1/videos/{id}/publishwithdestination(for exampleyoutube). - Schedule:
POST https://kolreel.com/api/v1/videos/{id}/schedulewithdestinationandat. - List templates:
GET https://kolreel.com/api/v1/templates.
Example: a new file in a Dropbox or Google Drive folder triggers the Zap, the Zap sends its public link as audio_url, waits a few minutes, then schedules the video to YouTube.
Keep the token secret. You can revoke it in Integrations at any time.
