Speed Up Sora Video Creation with a Simple Automation

In this guide, you’ll learn how to automate large-scale Sora video generation using a streamlined setup.

Who It’s For

• Creators looking to quickly test and refine video ideas
• Marketers producing ad content
• Content creators generating B-roll footage

What You’ll Create

An automated system that generates and stores videos from prompts

Requirements

• Make.com account (free trial works)
• OpenAI account with billing enabled
• Verified OpenAI organization access

Step 1: Prepare Your Spreadsheet

Duplicate a Google Sheets template to store prompts and outputs.

Step 2: Set Up the Automation Scenario

Log into Make.com and create a new scenario.

Add a Google Sheets “Watch Rows” trigger and connect your account.

Select the sheet created in Step 1.

Step 3: Connect Sora

Add an OpenAI Sora module.

Generate an API key and ensure your organization is verified.

Attach the key within Make.com.

Step 4: Store Output in Google Drive

Create a folder in Google Drive for your videos.

Add a Google Drive “Upload a File” module and point it to your folder.

Save your setup.

Step 5: Update Your Sheet

Add a Google Sheets “Update Row” module.

Configure it to insert the Google Drive “Web View link” into your sheet.

Step 6: Run the Workflow

Enter a prompt in your sheet and ensure each row has an ID.

Trigger the scenario manually or wait for the scheduled run.

Within minutes, your sheet will update with a link to the generated video.

Going Further

To trigger instantly instead of waiting:

• Create a new scenario using Google Sheets “Watch Changes.”
• Copy the webhook URL
• Install the Make.com add-on in Google Sheets
• Paste the webhook into settings

Now, each new row automatically triggers video generation in real time.
