Automate Viral UGC Video Creation Using n8n + Degaus (Beginner-Friendly Guide)

This practical guide shows how to rebuild and use this n8n workflow step-by-step without deep theory.
You’ll import the workflow, configure a few fields, copy-paste ready prompts/code, and run it in production.

🧠 What This Workflow Actually Does (Plain English)

This automation turns one product input into a complete UGC video package:

• Generates visual context (scene, character, action)
• Creates 5 viral hooks
• Writes UGC scripts
• Scores and selects the best script
• Generates A-roll & B-roll prompts
• Sends prompts to Degaus to generate the video
• Saves results in Google Sheets
• Emails you the final video link
• Alerts you if anything breaks

No manual prompting. No copy-paste chaos.
