Webhook receives a POST with `jobType`: **ecommerce** or **remix**\n2. **Route by Job Type** switch sends it down the correct pipeline\n3. A code node crafts the **Sora prompt** and submits the job via `POST /v1/video/generations`\n4. Sora is **async** \u2014 a **Wait \u2192 Poll \u2192 IF** loop checks status every 20 seconds\n5. When `status = succeeded`, an HTTP GET node **downloads the MP4 as binary**\n6. The binary is passed to the **n8n Upload to URL node** which PUTs the MP4 to your CDN\n7. A code node builds the **JSON response** with the public CDN URL\n\n**Credential needed:**\n`OpenAI Header Auth` \u2014 HTTP Header Auth\nHeader name: `Authorization` \u00b7 Value: `Bearer YOUR_OPENAI_KEY`\nSora access required: platform.openai.com (Tier 4/5 or enterprise)\n\n**Sora API endpoints used:**\n- Submit: `POST https://api.openai.com/v1/video/generations`\n- Poll: `GET https://api.openai.com/v1/video/generations/{id}`\n- Download: video URL from completed response\n\n"
