Employee Onboarding Clip Libraries
New hire form submission triggers automatic extraction of up to 5 training clips from onboarding video.
What it does
Get personalized training instantly when you submit your new-hire form, as we automatically extract up to five relevant clips from onboarding videos for you. We save these moments before they expire, organize them in Google Drive with clear filenames, log the details in Sheets, and send you a branded welcome email with access instructions.
Step by step
- Configure an n8n Form trigger node to capture the onboarding recording URL and employee name.
- Set up a Google Sheets node with columns for Employee Name, Clip Title, Drive Link, and Timestamp.
- Define the Gmail node template with placeholders for the recipient's email and dynamic clip links.
- Chain the nodes sequentially: Form -> WayinVideo API -> Wait/Poll -> Download -> Drive Upload -> Sheet Update -> Email.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate a natural language topic query for WayinVideo based on the employee's role or department to ensure relevant clip selection.
- Compose the personalized welcome email body that references specific training topics identified in the clips.
- Create structured and readable filenames for the uploaded clips using metadata from the API response.
Watch out for
WayinVideo export links have a short expiration window, so you must download the files immediately after polling confirms completion to avoid broken links.
Google Drive upload failures can occur if the filename contains invalid characters, so sanitize all metadata fields before passing them to the drive node.
The WayinVideo API may return fewer than five clips if no moments match the query, so add a conditional check to handle empty results gracefully.

You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Employee Onboarding Clip Libraries: New hire form submission triggers automatic extraction of up to 5 training clips from onboarding video. ## Specification - What it does: Get personalized training instantly when you submit your new-hire form, as we automatically extract up to five relevant clips from onboarding videos for you. We save these moments before they expire, organize them in Google Drive with clear filenames, log the details in Sheets, and send you a branded welcome email with access instructions. - Trigger: Run manually (Manual · on new employee form submission) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: under an hour - Tools/services involved: - n8n: Workflow orchestration and automation logic - WayinVideo: Scanning recordings to find specific training moments - Google Drive: Storing and organizing downloaded video clips - Google Sheets: Logging clip metadata and storing library links - Gmail: Sending personalized welcome emails to new hires ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. WayinVideo export links have a short expiration window, so you must download the files immediately after polling confirms completion to avoid broken links. 2. Google Drive upload failures can occur if the filename contains invalid characters, so sanitize all metadata fields before passing them to the drive node. 3. The WayinVideo API may return fewer than five clips if no moments match the query, so add a conditional check to handle empty results gracefully. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/15567 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Automation Platform than n8n?
Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
