Rendi’s integration with Zapier enables seamless automation of video processing workflows by combining Rendi’s FFmpeg capabilities with Zapier’s powerful automation platform.
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
Poll FFmpeg Command: For polling the command for its output.
These actions are accessible through Zapier’s action search when building your Zaps.
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:Here’s the test output of the Poll Command for the command_id returned:
After submitting a command to Rendi, you have two options to track the processing status:
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
Webhook Integration: Configure webhooks to automatically trigger Zapier workflows upon job completion. See our webhooks documentation for details.
