How do I connect Shotstack to Operator?

Connecting Shotstack is a one time sign in from your Operator dashboard. Operator keeps the connection live and rotates the token on its own, so the agent stays connected to Shotstack and you never reauthorize by hand.

What can my agent do with Shotstack?

Your agent can run 23 Shotstack actions on its own, including create template, create template (v2), delete ingested media. You describe the outcome you want in plain language and it picks the right ones, checking its work as it goes.

Do I need to write code or manage Shotstack API keys?

No. Operator manages the Shotstack connection and token refresh, so there are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.

Can my agent use Shotstack together with my other apps?

Yes. The same agent reaches every app you connect, so it can move between Shotstack and tools like Youtube, Elevenlabs, Spotify in one job, reading from one and acting in another without you wiring anything between them.

Automate Shotstack with AI

On Operator, an OpenClaw agent pilots Shotstack for you. It reads your message, plans the steps, and runs them in Shotstack, using actions like create template, create template (v2), delete ingested media.

Your agent reaches Shotstack directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.

What your agent can do with Shotstack

Your agent can call any of these Shotstack actions by name as part of a larger task. Ask for the outcome you want and it picks the right ones.

Create Template

Tool to create a new template for video editing. Use when you want to save a reusable timeline configuration as a template. Template changes do not retroactively affect past renders.

Create Template (v2)

Tool to save an Edit as a re-usable template. Templates can be retrieved and modified before rendering. Use when you want to create a template with merge fields for dynamic content.

Delete Ingested Media

Tool to delete an ingested media asset. Use when you've confirmed the ingest ID and need to remove the file from Shotstack storage.

Delete Template

Tool to delete a specific Shotstack template by its ID. Use when you need to remove a template permanently.

Delete Shotstack Workflow

Tool to delete a specific Shotstack workflow. Use when you need to permanently remove a workflow after confirming its ID.

Fetch Source

Tool to fetch a remote media file and store it as a source asset. Operation is asynchronous — poll SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS or SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA until the asset is ready before passing it to SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO or other downs...

Get Asset

Tool to fetch details of a hosted asset by its unique identifier. Use when you need to retrieve information about videos, images, audio files, thumbnails, or poster images hosted on Shotstack's CDN.

Get Assets by Render ID

Tool to retrieve hosted assets by render ID. Use when you need to fetch one or more files (video, thumbnail, poster image) generated by a specific render job.

Get Render Callback

Tool to retrieve the webhook/callback URL configuration for a specific render job. Returns only callback settings (URL, method, headers), not render status or output URLs — use a separate render-status check to obtain final results.

Get Render Status

Tool to retrieve the current status and details of a Shotstack render job by render ID. Use when polling a render until done or failed, typically after creating a render with SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO.

Get Source Details

Tool to fetch the details of a specific source asset. Use when you need to inspect a source after uploading, check its status, or diagnose ingest/render failures—such as unsupported codecs, corrupt files, or bad URLs—before retrying.

Get Template

Tool to retrieve details of a specific template. Use when you have the ID of an existing template and need its metadata.

Get Template By Version

Tool to retrieve a template by template id and API version. Use when you need to fetch template details from a specific Edit API version.

Get Upload URL

Tool to request a signed URL for direct file upload to Shotstack. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that you use to upload the file using a PUT request with the binary file.

Inspect Media

Tool to inspect media metadata. Use before rendering to retrieve duration, resolution, frame rate, and format of an online media file — clip timecodes, trim points, and audio sync calculations depend on these values. Mixing assets withou...

How to connect Shotstack

You authorize Shotstack once from your dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access tokens on its own, so your agent keeps working with Shotstack without you signing in again. The same setup unlocks every other app your agent can reach, so you only do it once.
