Contentdrips offers a range of actions on Zapier, categorized into instant and delayed types. Instant actions process requests synchronously and return results immediately, operating standalone. Delayed actions, however, queue jobs for processing and require follow-up with “Check Job Status” and “Get Job Result” actions: first, use “Check Job Status” with the returned Job ID to monitor progress, then “Get Job Result” once the status is “completed” to retrieve the final output.

This guide covers all Contentdrips actions available on Zapier as of 01:55 PM PKT on Sunday, August 10, 2025, including setup, inputs, outputs, and dependencies. We’ll highlight how delayed actions depend on the status-checking workflow to ensure seamless automation.

Why Use Contentdrips on Zapier?

Contentdrips simplifies visual content creation with its API and editor for designing templates. By connecting to Zapier, you can automate workflows like pulling data from Google Sheets, generating images, and posting to social media. Instant actions are great for quick tasks, while delayed actions handle more complex renders (e.g., large carousels) but need dependency actions to complete the process.

How to set up the Contentdrips actions?

To get started with the Contentdrips action, click on the action node. When the popup opens, enter Contentdrips. The Contentdrips option will appear. Click on the option to make the Action node a Contentdrips Action. If you are using Contentdrips Actions for the first time, click on Account option first. The option will open a popup where you will be asked to enter your Contentdrips API key. Post setting up the API key, select your Action event of choice.

Instant Actions: Standalone Operations

These actions return results immediately without queuing, making them ideal for simple, real-time automations.

Generate Carousel (Instant)

By combining n8n, a powerful open-source workflow automation tool, with the Contentdrips API, you can automate the creation of professional LinkedIn and Instagram carousels, saving time and ensuring consistency.

This guide walks you through the process step-by-step, from setup to execution, and explores use cases and troubleshooting tips.

What is n8n?

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that connects various applications and services using nodes. It offers a visual interface for building workflows, supports over 400 integrations, and allows for custom code when needed. Its flexibility makes it ideal for automating tasks like generating social media content. You can self-host n8n or use their cloud offering for convenience (n8n.io).

What is Contentdrips?

Contentdrips is a content creation platform designed for crafting social media posts, particularly carousels for LinkedIn and Instagram. It provides thousands of customizable templates and an API for integrating with tools like n8n. With Contentdrips, you can create visually appealing carousels by inputting text, images, and branding details (contentdrips.com).

Why Automate LinkedIn Carousels?

Automating carousel creation offers several benefits:

• Time Efficiency: Eliminate repetitive design tasks.
• Consistency: Maintain uniform branding across posts.
• Content Repurposing: Transform blog posts, Twitter threads, or AI-generated content into carousels.
• Scalability: Generate multiple carousels for large-scale campaigns.

This automation is particularly useful for marketers, content creators, and businesses aiming to maintain a robust social media presence.

Getting Started

1. Sign Up for Contentdrips

• Visit app.contentdrips.com and create an account.
• Navigate to the API Management section (app.contentdrips.com/api-management) to generate your API token. This token authenticates your requests in n8n.

2. Install n8n

• Install n8n on your system by following the instructions on n8n.io. You can self-host using Docker or opt for n8n’s cloud service.
• Install the Contentdrips community node:
  • In n8n, go to Settings > Community Nodes.
  • Search for n8n-nodes-contentdrips and install it.
  • Alternatively, run npm install n8n-nodes-contentdrips in your n8n directory (typically ~/.n8n).

Creating a Template in Contentdrips

1. Choose or Create a Template

• Log in to Contentdrips and access the template library.
• Browse thousands of pre-designed templates or create a custom one.
• Ensure your template has at least three slides, each with labeled textboxes:
  • Most templates come with default labels like “heading” and “description.”
  • If labels are missing, right-click a textbox in the Contentdrips editor and assign labels (e.g., “heading” for titles, “description” for body text). Each slide should have at least one labeled textbox, though two (heading and description) are common.

2. Get the Template ID

• After selecting or creating a template, note its ID from the URL. For example, in https://app.contentdrips.com/canvas?template=150113, the template ID is 150113.

Setting Up the n8n Workflow

1. Add the Contentdrips Node

• In n8n, create a new workflow.
• Search for “Contentdrips” in the node catalog and add the Contentdrips node.

2. Configure the Node

• Select the “1-click generate carousel” operation.
• Provide the following:
  • API Token: Your Contentdrips API key.
  • Template ID: The ID of your chosen template (e.g., 150113).
  • Output Format: Choose png for individual slide images or pdf for a single document.
  • Content Input: Input content in one of two ways:
    • Form Method: Enter headings, descriptions, and image URLs for each slide directly in the node’s form interface. This is ideal for simple setups.
    • JSON Method: Use a JSON object for structured content, including intro, main, and ending slides.

Example JSON Input

{
  "intro_slide": {
    "heading": "Welcome",
    "description": "This is the intro slide",
    "image": "https://example.com/intro.jpg"
  },
  "slides": [
    {
      "heading": "Slide 1",
      "description": "Content for slide 1",
      "image": "https://example.com/slide1.jpg"
    },
    {
      "heading": "Slide 2",
      "description": "Content for slide 2",
      "image": "https://example.com/slide2.jpg"
    }
  ],
  "ending_slide": {
    "heading": "Thank You",
    "description": "This is the ending slide",
    "image": "https://example.com/ending.jpg"
  }
}

3. Wait Settings

• Configure wait settings to check the job status every 15-20 seconds. This ensures the workflow waits until the carousel is generated (typically 2-5 minutes).

4. Content Updates

• Use the content update feature to dynamically modify template elements (e.g., text or images) other than carousel inputs.
• Specify the label name (e.g., “heading”) and the new value in the content update section. This is useful for updating elements beyond the standard carousel inputs, such as adding a new logo or changing a specific text field.

Executing the Workflow

1. Run the Workflow

• Click “Execute Workflow” in n8n to start the carousel generation.
• The Contentdrips node sends the request to the API, which processes the template and content.

2. Output

• Upon completion, the node returns a response with:
  • Date: Timestamp of the job completion.
  • Type: Indicates the output type (e.g., carousel).
  • Export URLs: Links to the generated carousel slides or PDF.
• Example output:date: 2025-07-09T17:51:35.604Z type: carousel export_url: [ "https://contentdrips2.s3.amazonaws.com/server/13/uploads/ja4pt5-template.png", "https://contentdrips2.s3.amazonaws.com/server/13/uploads/ja4pt5-template.png", "https://contentdrips2.s3.amazonaws.com/server/13/uploads/ja4pt5-template.png" ]

Use Cases

1. Blog to Carousel Automation

• Workflow: Use an RSS trigger to fetch new blog posts, process them with a code node to extract key points, and pass the data to the Contentdrips node to generate a carousel.
• Example: Convert a blog post into a carousel summarizing its main points, then post it to LinkedIn using a LinkedIn API node.

2. Social Media Graphics

• Workflow: Set up a schedule trigger to run daily, fetch data from Google Sheets (e.g., quotes or stats), generate a carousel with Contentdrips, and post to LinkedIn or Instagram.
• Example: Create daily motivational quote carousels for consistent social media engagement.

3. AI-Generated Content

• Workflow: Use an AI node (e.g., GPT) to generate carousel content based on a topic, format it as JSON, and pass it to the Contentdrips node.
• Example: Generate a carousel about “Top 5 Marketing Tips” using AI, then automate its creation and posting.

The post How to Automate LinkedIn Carousels with n8n and Contentdrips API appeared first on Contentdrips.

In this post, we’ll dive into the specifics of preparing your carousel or graphic template to work seamlessly with the API, ensuring professional and dynamic outputs.

We’ll also explore advanced features, provide code examples, and share practical use cases to help you maximize the API’s potential.

Step 1: Understanding the Template ID

To get started with the ContentDrips API, you need a Template ID. This unique identifier links your API call to a specific template in ContentDrips. To find it:

1. Open your desired template in the ContentDrips editor.
2. Check the URL in your browser. It will look something like this:
   https://app.contentdrips.com/canvas?template=148872
   The number 148872 is your Template ID.

This ID is critical as it tells the API which template to use for rendering your carousel or graphic. Whether you’re creating a multi-slide carousel or a single quote graphic, the Template ID is the starting point.

Step 2: Preparing Your Carousel Template

Carousels are a fantastic way to share engaging, multi-slide content on platforms like LinkedIn or Instagram. To prepare a carousel template for the ContentDrips API, follow these steps:

Adding and Labeling Textboxes

Each slide in your carousel can include a heading, description, or both, along with an optional image. At least one textbox is required per slide. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Add Textboxes: In the ContentDrips editor, add textboxes to each slide for the heading and/or description.
2. Label Textboxes: Right-click on a textbox, hover over the Label option, and assign a label such as heading or description. This labeling is crucial as it allows the API to map your data to the correct text fields.
   • Example: Label one textbox as heading for the slide title and another as description for the body text.
3. Add Images: If your slide includes an image, label it as image in the editor. This ensures the API can replace it with your specified image URL.

Setting Max Height for Textboxes

To ensure your text fits perfectly without overflowing, you can set a max height for each textbox:

• Select the textbox in the editor.
• Navigate to the Spacing and Max Height option in the left menu.
• Set a maximum height. If the text exceeds this height, ContentDrips will automatically reduce the font size to fit, maintaining a clean and professional look.

This feature is especially useful for dynamic content where text length varies, such as user-generated quotes or product descriptions.

Using Auto-Layout for Text

ContentDrips offers an auto-layout text feature to prevent overlapping textboxes. If two textboxes are vertically close and one contains lengthy content, the API will automatically adjust the position of the other textbox to avoid overlap. This ensures your design remains visually appealing, even with varying content lengths.

Using Image Frames

We also have support for clipped images even in our API too. Simply create a clipped image by first creating a shape or any SVG element object. Select that object, see the left side bar you will see an image icon in the Fill option. Click on it, upload image or choose image and that’s it.

Now you can right click on it and add your label to it.

Saving Your Template

Once you’ve added and labeled your textboxes and images, and configured any advanced settings like max height, save your template in the ContentDrips editor. It’s now ready for use with the API.

Step 3: Making the API Call for Carousels

To generate a carousel, you’ll use the ContentDrips API endpoint with the carousel-maker tool. Below is a sample API call to render a carousel:

const response = await fetch("https://generate.contentdrips.com/render?tool=carousel-maker", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
template_id: "148872",
output: "png",
carousel: {
intro_slide: {
heading: "Welcome to Our Brand",
description: "Discover how we create value for our customers.",
image: "https://example.com/intro-image.png"
},
slides: [
{
heading: "Slide 1: Our Mission",
description: "Empowering businesses with innovative solutions.",
image: "https://example.com/slide1-image.png"
},
{
heading: "Slide 2: Our Vision",
description: "Building a future where technology drives success.",
image: "https://example.com/slide2-image.png"
}
],
ending_slide: {
heading: "Join Us Today",
description: "Let’s create something amazing together!",
image: "https://example.com/ending-image.png"
}
}
})
});

If you use n8n you can also use our node. You can find it here.

Explanation of the Code

• Endpoint: https://generate.contentdrips.com/render?tool=carousel-maker specifies that you’re rendering a carousel.
• Headers: Include your API key in the Authorization header. Learn how to get your API key in our previous blog post.
• Body: The template_id links to your template, output specifies the format (png or pdf), and the carousel object contains the content for the intro slide, main slides, and ending slide.
• Output Formats: Use png for image-based carousels (ideal for Instagram) or pdf for LinkedIn carousels.

Step 4: Preparing a Single-Image Graphic Template

For single-image graphics, such as quote posts or promotional banners, you’ll use the same ContentDrips API but without the ?tool=carousel-maker parameter. Here’s how to prepare your template:

1. Add and Label Elements: Add textboxes or images to your template and label them appropriately. For example, for a quote graphic, label one textbox as quote and another as author. For an image, label it as image.
2. Use Content Updates: To dynamically update text or images, use the content_update array in your API payload.

Here’s a sample API call for a single-image graphic:

const response = await fetch("https://generate.contentdrips.com/render", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
template_id: "148873",
output: "png",
content_update: [
{
type: "textbox",
label: "quote",
value: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow is our doubts of today."
},
{
type: "textbox",
label: "author",
value: "Franklin D. Roosevelt"
},
{
type: "image",
label: "background",
value: "https://example.com/background-image.png"
}
]
})
});

Explanation of the Code

• Endpoint: https://generate.contentdrips.com/render is used for single-image graphics.
• Content Update: The content_update array allows you to dynamically update labeled textboxes or images. Specify the type (textbox or image), the label you assigned in the editor, and the new value (text or image URL).

Step 5: Advanced Customization with Custom Labels

Beyond heading, description, and image, you can assign custom labels to textboxes or images for more flexibility. For example, if your template includes a hashtag or a call-to-action button, label it as hashtag or cta. Then, update it in the API payload:

content_update: [
{
type: "textbox",
label: "hashtag",
value: "#Branding #SocialMedia"
},
{
type: "image",
label: "cta",
value: "https://example.com/cta-button.png"
}
]

This feature is ideal for automating dynamic content like hashtags, social media handles, or branded images.

Use Cases for the ContentDrips API

The ContentDrips API is versatile and can be used for a variety of automation tasks. Here are some practical use cases:

1. Social Media Automation:
   • Generate daily inspirational quote graphics for Instagram or Twitter by updating the quote and author fields.
   • Create LinkedIn carousels to share industry insights, with each slide dynamically populated from a database of tips or statistics.
2. Marketing Campaigns:

   • Automate hashtag or watermark updates across all visuals.
5. Dynamic Reporting:
   • Generate visual reports or dashboards as PNGs or PDFs, pulling data from APIs or databases to populate charts or text fields.

Tips for Success

• Test Your Templates: Before automating, test your template with sample API calls to ensure labels and layouts work as expected.
• Optimize Image URLs: Ensure all image URLs in your API payload are publicly accessible and in a supported format (e.g., PNG, JPEG).
• Leverage Auto-Layout: Use the auto-layout feature to handle dynamic text lengths, especially for carousels with varying content.
• Secure Your API Key: Store your API key securely and avoid hardcoding it in client-side code. Refer to our API setup guide for best practices.

Step 1: Choose a Carousel Template

First things first, pick a carousel template. You can select one from our newly added options on Contentdrips, or get creative and design your own. These templates are tailor-made to work seamlessly with our AI carousel maker.

Optional Step: Labeling Textboxes

While not mandatory, labeling textboxes on your slides can improve results, especially with older or custom templates. Simply right-click on each textbox on the first and second slides and label them “heading” and “description.”

Remember, you’ll need at least three slides: an intro, content slide (which can be repeated), and an outro. Check out our helpful instructional video for a visual guide.

Step 2: Access the “AI Carousel Maker”

Once your template is set up, head over to the “AI Carousel Maker” section. Here, you have two options: “Topic” or “Existing Post.”

Choose “Topic” to transform a new topic into a carousel post, or opt for “Existing Post” to convert your pre-written text. For example, your topic could be “5 Ways to Grow Your Email List.”

Step 3: Finalize Your AI Carousel

After making your selection, hit the “Generate Carousel” button. The AI will take a moment to work its magic.

It will duplicate the second slide to match the length of your content, ensuring each point or section gets its own slide.

If your topic was “5 Ways to Be Happy,” the AI will create five slides.

The post NEW in Contentdrips: Custom AI Prompts, Image Frames, AI Post Maker & More appeared first on Contentdrips.

What does it do?

In AI Post Maker you input a content idea that could be a new topic or an existing text post & our AI automatically writes & applies that content everywhere on your selected template.

For eg. you’ve made your customized template on the topic of “3 ways to get more leads” & now you just want to switch the topic to “3 ways to get more followers”. It will work like magic in that case.

Not only can it make a new post for you but it can also refresh your old post and make it into a new one.

Here’s the step by step guide on how you can make effective and engaging posts in seconds with the help of AI.

Step no 1

• Log in to Contentdrips.
• Go to the templates page.
• And select the template of your choice.

Step no 2

Now that you’re on the editor page, click on the “AI Post Maker” from the toolbar.

Add in your topic of choice in the textbox.

Step no 3: Adding “Labels”

Now the most important part is to label your text boxes.

In this example we’re using a carousel post but the AI post maker works for any type of post.

For some templates labels are already added so you can skip this part.

Select your textboxes and add labels to it. For example for the text box on the first slide add the label “Heading”, and on the other slides you can add “slide 1 text, slide 2 text, slide 1 heading etc.”, on the last slide you can add “call to action” label.

There is no hard and fast rule for adding labels. Labels are just used to describe what to write in that textbox.

Step no 4: Choosing the tone

The last thing you need to do is select the type of tone you want your post to be in. We recommend using Simple. It’s the best one.

Then just hit “Generate”. Your post is complete.

Using your existing post to create an engaging visual

Here’s how you can make new posts out of your old post.

After opening your template & selecting the “AI Post Maker”. Click on the “Existing Post” option in the post maker.

Don’t forget your labels, select the tone of your post & then just hit “Generate”.

Your new content is ready to post.
