Rendi and Zapier Integration

Rendi’s integration with Zapier enables seamless automation of video processing workflows by combining Rendi’s FFmpeg capabilities with Zapier’s powerful automation platform.

​
Integration Details

You can find our official integration on Zapier’s marketplace: Zapier – Rendi – FFmpeg API To establish the integration between Zapier and Rendi:
  1. Obtain your API key from the Rendi dashboard
  2. Connect your Zapier account to Rendi
  3. Use your Rendi API key to authenticate the connection

​
Available Actions

Rendi provides two native actions within Zapier:
  1. Run FFmpeg Command: The primary action for triggering video processing tasks. The full documentation for this action can be found in API reference - run FFmpeg command endpoint
  2. Poll FFmpeg Command: For polling the command for its output.
These actions are accessible through Zapier’s action search when building your Zaps.

​
Handling Curly Brackets {{}}

Zapier uses curly brackets {{}} as special characters for its stored variables. When using these brackets in Rendi FFmpeg commands, you need to escape them with backslashes, like this: \{\{\}\}. Here’s an example of a configured FFmpeg command in Zapier: Zapier Run Command Example Here’s the test output of the Poll Command for the command_id returned: Zapier Poll Command Example

​
Processing Workflow

After submitting a command to Rendi, you have two options to track the processing status:
  1. Polling Method: Monitor the job status using the native Poll Command action which returns the same response as in our API reference - poll command endpoint
  2. Webhook Integration: Configure webhooks to automatically trigger Zapier workflows upon job completion. See our webhooks documentation for details.
