How to Generate AI Videos and Images in Zapier with Veo 3.1, Kling or Seedance (Step by Step, 2026)
Live figures last changed · 5 min read · The GenMagic team
To generate AI videos in Zapier, add the GenMagic app to a Zap, use Start Video with Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance or Wan, wait with a Delay step, then fetch the clip with Find Video. Images and voiceovers take one step each. You connect once with a GenMagic API key and pay per result from one balance, with no subscription and no Google, Kling or ByteDance account.
This guide covers connecting GenMagic, a video Zap step by step, images and voiceovers, Zaps to copy, and what each result costs.
A note on who wrote this: GenMagic makes the Zapier app this guide describes. It is listed in Zapier's app directory since November 10, 2026, with Zapier's Beta badge that every new app carries for its first 90 days. Prices come from GenMagic's live catalog. The same steps in n8n: Seedance in n8n.

The short answer
- Add GenMagic as an action in any Zap: search "GenMagic" in the app list.
- Connect it with an API key from genmagic.co/get-api-key. Verifying your email adds $0.50 of free credit.
- Video takes three steps: Start Video, Delay by Zapier, Find Video. Zapier gives a step 30 seconds and a clip takes one to several minutes.
- Images (Generate Image) and voiceovers (Generate Speech) come back in one step, as files the next step can use.
Connect GenMagic
- Make a free GenMagic account and an API key at genmagic.co/get-api-key.
- In the Zap editor, add an action, search GenMagic, pick a step and choose Sign in.
- Paste the key. Zapier checks it by reading your balance, which costs nothing, and names the connection after the key's last characters, so you can tell keys apart.
You can revoke the key on your GenMagic account page at any time.
A video Zap, step by step
1. Trigger. Anything with text in it: a new row in Google Sheets, a new Airtable record, a form answer, a schedule.
2. GenMagic: Start Video. Fill in:
- Prompt: map the text from the trigger (the shot, the action, the camera, the mood). The prompt guides help: Seedance, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Wan 3.0.
- Model: the list shows every video model with the price of its default clip. Left as it is, it uses Seedance 1.5 Pro, one of the lowest-priced models.
- Aspect Ratio: Landscape (16:9), Vertical (9:16) for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, or Square (1:1).
- Length (Seconds) and Resolution: optional; empty uses the model's default.
- Generate Audio: optional, for models that make sound.
It returns a Video ID at once.
3. Delay by Zapier: Delay For. Five minutes covers most clips; a long or 1080p clip can take longer.
4. GenMagic: Find Video. Map the Video ID from step 2. It returns the Status, the Video file and its Cost (USD). If the clip is still running, the Status says so and the Video is empty: add Filter by Zapier ("only continue if Status is completed") before the step that uses it, or delay longer.
5. Use the clip. Save the Video file to Google Drive or Dropbox, write its URL back to the sheet, or post it from the app you publish with.
You are billed once, when the clip is finished. A clip that fails costs nothing, and the error shows in the step.
Images and voiceovers
- Generate Image: a prompt, a model (or the default), a size, and Kind (Picture, or Logo or brand mark). Add a Reference Image to change an existing picture, for example a product photo on a new background. It returns the Image file.
- Generate Speech: the text and, if you like, a model and a voice. It returns a hosted audio file.
- Generate Text: writing, an SVG graphic or a web page from any language model, for example to write the prompt a later video step uses.
Every step returns Cost (USD) and Balance Left (USD), so a Zap can log its own spend to a sheet.

Questions
Is there an AI video generator in Zapier? Yes. GenMagic is in Zapier's app directory with Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance, Wan, Hailuo and other video models as one step, plus images, speech and text.
Why does video need a Delay step? Zapier stops a step after 30 seconds and a clip takes one to several minutes, so Start Video returns at once and Find Video picks the clip up later.
Do I need a Google, Kling or ByteDance account? No. One GenMagic key runs every model, and you pay per result from one balance.
Can I try it for free? Verifying your email on GenMagic adds $0.50 of starter credit, about 14 seconds of Seedance 1.5 Pro at 480p. More on the app: GenMagic in Zapier.
