--- name: heygen-automation description: "Automate AI video generation, avatar browsing, template-based video creation, and video status tracking through HeyGen's platform via Composio" requires: mcp: - rube --- # HeyGen Automation Automate AI-powered video creation workflows -- browse avatars and templates, generate personalized videos from templates, track processing status, and retrieve shareable URLs -- all orchestrated through the Composio MCP integration. **Toolkit docs:** [composio.dev/toolkits/heygen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heygen) --- ## Setup 1. Connect your HeyGen account through the Composio MCP server at `https://rube.app/mcp` 2. The agent will prompt you with an authentication link if no active connection exists 3. Once connected, all `HEYGEN_*` tools become available for execution --- ## Core Workflows ### 1. Browse Available Templates Retrieve pre-designed avatar templates from the HeyGen library for video creation. **Tool:** `HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATES` ``` No parameters required -- returns template IDs, names, preview images, and customization options. ``` Use this to discover templates before generating videos. Each template has a unique ID needed for generation. --- ### 2. Inspect Template Details & Variables Retrieve the full structure of a template including all variables, scene mappings, and customization options. **Tool:** `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3` | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `template_id` | string | Yes | Template ID from `HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATES` or the HeyGen dashboard | This is a **required prerequisite** before generating videos -- it tells you exactly which variables must be populated. --- ### 3. Browse Available Avatars List all realistic avatars available for video creation, useful for mapping characters to scenes. **Tool:** `HEYGEN_V2_AVATARS` ``` No parameters required -- returns avatar identifiers, names, and preview images. The list may be paginated; additional calls might be needed for the full set. ``` --- ### 4. Generate Video from Template Create a customized video by populating a template with your variables and content. **Tool:** `HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATE_GENERATE` Provide a video title and all template variables discovered via `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3`. Every required variable must be supplied with exact names and types. --- ### 5. Check Video Processing Status Poll the processing status and retrieve metadata for a video being generated. **Tool:** `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_VIDEO_STATUS_DETAILS` | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `video_id` | string | Yes | Video ID returned from the generation API | Returned URLs expire after 7 days but can be regenerated by calling this endpoint again. --- ### 6. Get Shareable Video URL Generate a public, shareable link that allows anyone to view the video without authentication. **Tool:** `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_SHARABLE_VIDEO_URL` Provide the `video_id` to receive a public URL for distribution. --- ## Known Pitfalls | Pitfall | Details | |---------|---------| | **All template variables required** | `HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATE_GENERATE` demands every variable from `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3` with exact names and types -- missing or misnamed fields break scenes or fail generation | | **Always inspect templates first** | Never skip `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3` before generation -- multi-scene templates have complex variable structures | | **Video URLs expire** | URLs from `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_VIDEO_STATUS_DETAILS` expire after 7 days; regenerate by calling the endpoint again | | **Paginated avatar lists** | `HEYGEN_V2_AVATARS` may return paginated results -- additional calls may be needed for the full library | | **Processing time varies** | Video generation is asynchronous; poll `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_VIDEO_STATUS_DETAILS` until status is complete before using output URLs | --- ## Quick Reference | Tool Slug | Purpose | |-----------|---------| | `HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATES` | List available video templates | | `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3` | Get template variables and scene structure | | `HEYGEN_V2_AVATARS` | Browse available AI avatars | | `HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATE_GENERATE` | Generate video from a template | | `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_VIDEO_STATUS_DETAILS` | Check video processing status and get URLs | | `HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_SHARABLE_VIDEO_URL` | Get a public shareable video link | --- *Powered by [Composio](https://composio.dev)* --- Source attribution: ComposioHQ Original project: https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 SkillsHub Contributors Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
