It swaps the tag to prevent repeated triggering, generates a product video with Dreem.ai, waits for render completion, and routes the result to Slack for review. If approved, it downloads the rendered video, uploads it through Shopify staged uploads, and attaches it to the product; if rendering times out, it posts a Slack alert.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Connect Shopify credentials for both the product update trigger and Admin API requests.\n- Connect Dreem.ai credentials and configure the generation node with the desired product image/video settings.\n- Connect Slack credentials and select the channels/users used for render delivery, approval, and timeout notifications.\n- Replace placeholder Shopify URLs such as `https://YOUR-STORE.myshopify.com` with your store domain and verify Admin API scopes for product media and staged uploads.\n- Confirm the trigger tag, loop-safety replacement tag, wait/timeout settings, and approval interaction logic match your operating process.\n\n### Customization\n\nYou can change the Shopify tag that starts video generation, adjust the Dreem.ai video prompt/settings, modify the wait interval or timeout behavior, and route approvals or timeout alerts to different Slack channels."
