Auto-generate video ads. New blog post published? Create promotional videos. Sales milestone hit? Generate celebration content. Build workflows that create video content without lifting a finger.

Map Your Data
Connect trigger data to August Ads fields. Map product names, descriptions, images, and other content to your video template inputs.
Configure Video Settings
Set default video parameters: avatar selection, style templates, output formats, and quality settings for automated generation.
Define Output Actions
Choose what happens when videos complete: send to Slack, upload to Google Drive, add to Airtable, email to team, or trigger additional workflows.
Automation Workflow Examples
New Product Auto-Ads
Every time a new product is added to Shopify, marketing needs video ads created.
Zap triggers on new Shopify product, sends data to August Ads, generates 3 video variations, uploads to Google Drive, and notifies the marketing team via Slack.

New blog posts need promotional videos for social media distribution.
WordPress publish triggers August Ads generation using post title, excerpt, and featured image. Completed videos are sent to Buffer for scheduled posting.
