purpose the video node allows you to embed and display videos directly inside your workflow interface it supports external video sources like youtube , vimeo , and other streaming platforms, enabling users to view content without leaving the workflow page problem statement embedding or dynamically displaying videos within an automation interface can often require custom html and scripting the video node simplifies this by providing a ready to use, configurable video component that integrates seamlessly with both static and dynamic content requirements must include a valid video embed url (e g , youtube or vimeo) ensure that the embed url follows the proper format (e g , https //www youtube com/embed/ ) the node must be added in the creation engine before it can be detected in the rules engine 💡 note when you drag and drop the video node into the creation engine , only then it will be detected and accessible in the rules engine use cases embed tutorial or demo videos in your automation interface display ai generated video output dynamically from another node use in marketing , training , or dashboard workflows where video content enhances user experience integrate youtube shorts , product overviews , or media assets outcome once configured, the video node displays an embedded player that loads the provided video it can be static or dynamically updated via connected workflow variables how to use add the video node drag and drop the video node into your creation engine important it must exist in the creation engine first — only then the rules engine can recognize and control it configure video settings field description example video source url the full embed url of the video you want to display https //www youtube com/embed/dqw4w9wgxcq video title title for internal reference or accessibility product demo source type auto detected based on url (youtube, vimeo, etc ) youtube source indicates where the video is fetched from external dynamic video display if your workflow generates a video link dynamically (e g , from a video generation or upload node), you can link it using a template variable such as {{videogenresult videourl}} this updates the embedded video each time the workflow executes
